Local is natural full leather with black dash; the GTS is black. I like the contrast 2-tone, but that really doesn't matter much. I haven't seen the GTS, but the local car looks pretty darn good.
Mileage on the local car is 26,000 or so, and the GTS has mid 20's as well. Both have records and all of the things you want to see in a used car. I can't tell the difference between the narrower and wider body, and was primarily interested in how they drive. I have read here about magical unicorn dust on the GTS, but everyone says that about their special model, one of a kind car. Other say it is the same car, and I don't want to spend an extra 20 grand just for a power boost that I won't use anyway. I suppose both will depreciate, but the GTS doesn't seem to be much different than the C2S in that regard.
Mostly is it just extra power, or is there something better about the Sport suspension, sport exhaust, or steering that the 2013 doesn't have? I am kind of a car freak and want this to be the "one". We sold my M4 to buy something even better, and she was amazing.

PSE is the same. Suspension the same. Steering the same. GTS has the X51 power kit and like 1.5" wider rear.
Not much performance difference that is too noticeable. Biggest difference being cosmetics.
So both have SPASM? (Sport-PASM) and PDCC??? What are the odds?? Not common having both.

Also does the S come with 11.5 inch rear tires? the 305 width tires fit the 11.5 inch wheel a little better than a 12 in rear wheel in my personal opinion. Less of a stretch on the sidewall.

My 2014 C2S has the PASM Sport suspension along with PSE and SC with PDK. I like the PASM Sport suspension a lot and specifically looked for a car with that option. It is a bit low but rides fine from my perspective although mine Isn't a DD. I don't work out quite as much as you so I'll post a photo of my car instead. Got my car ready for a track day this weekend.

We decided against a .2. More than we want to spend, and almost too much power for the road. The .1 doesn't get away from you as quickly. I would be fine with a .1 C2 model, but you can't find them with the sport options very often. We almost purchased one a few months back, and honestly, the power was fine. Not as much as my M, but more linear on the throttle.
