Buying my First Porsche

Nonsense. It is the only option that lets you win at autocross by only using your pinkie finger.
On a serious note, I have had PSP on all three of my 991s (including ordering it on my GTS) and like it at parking lot speeds! I autocross, too, and haven't found it to be a problem at all - but then again I am probably dodging cones at a higher speed without any steering assist.

EDIT: I see you have PDCC in your build. In that case, SPASM won't be that harsh. I've had both PASM/PDCC and SPASM/PDCC. SPASM was a little firmer but still really comfortable on long trips. I just drove 300 miles on Sunday, visiting Civil War sites, and it was a really nice ride!

For the OP, I would definitely price out both the 4GTS and the GTS with the same options. Like you said, you get the powerkit and more in the same wide body as the S. Not sure how it would come out, but I would at least compare. As STG mentioned, you can get PASM instead of SPASM in the GTS if it is a deal breaker.

This. I have a 2017 GTS with PDCC and the ride quality is no different than my bros 2013 C4S with PDCC.

Great looking build. As others pointed out you can save money as a GTS car. I just did the config and it came in at $151K. That's more than $10K cheaper than a 4S. As a C4 GTS the gap is much smaller. About $4K cheaper. Still, it's $4K for essentially the same car. Now here's one advantage, it depreciates less. These GTS cars fall right in between Normal Carrera's and the GT cars. So at resale time, you'll have lost less. Something to consider for sure.

Not only are you saving money on the purchase itself, but you are retaining even more money when it comes time to sell as someone mentioned.

I would add 18 way seats. Would probably skip the power kit too and save yourself some money.

Not sure I need 18 way seats.
Would you add the power kit if you weren't concerned about saving money? I don't want to add an after market tune, because of warranty. Right now I have basically a 4GTS for a little extra change. I removed the sun roof, and added the contrast stitching. Just saw a GT4 with black seats, yellow seat belts and GT silver stitching. Looked great.. Exterior has GT Silver, Yellow carbon ceramic calipers, and black trim. The inside has black seats, yellow accents, and GT silver. I feel it ties together really well.

Wasn't it the Dude* who said, "That rug really tied the room together"? Change the dials to black, the belts to silver, the model to GTS, add Sport, and ditch the sunroof. Thank me next year when you realize how tired you are not getting of looking at that yellow dial.
