Default deciding between 991.1 GTS and 991.1 4s

Hi All,

I am having a hard time choosing between the 991.1 gts and 991.1 4S. My budget is around 100K and I just want to make sure I'm making the right decisions. I've already had a c2s in the past so I really would lie to go with a wide body. Besides that the extra power on the GTS seems nice. I'm not super picky on options. The GTS is more expensive than the 4s obviously, but will it be worth it? thoughts? Thanks!

You should try both and decide. I'm always surprised when I try a car myself vs reading reviews or hearing people's opinions. Personally I'd go for a GTS over an S every time, because I've never really driven an S that did much for me. The GTS, while maybe it seems close on paper to the S, in practice usually feels like a much different car.

trying is a bit of a problem as usually the cars are too far away to get to for me. what does the GTS have over the S for you?

Not sure what part of the country you live, or what seasons you plan on driving it...but any chance you may drive it in snowy winter conditions? If so, the 4 may be something to seriously consider for the extra traction.

Do you want PDK or MT? If PDK, I have the perfect solution for you: $173k MSRP 991.1 C4S with X51 Powerkit, PDCC, Sports Exhaust, etc., which provides ALL of the performance benefits/options of a GTS (save polarizing CLs and Alcantara). Car has 14k miles and is in perfect condition with no stories.

I'd stick w the GTS if you have any intention of tracking the car down the road.
