Will I be happy with a base or should I get a gts?

Actually, there is a narrow body GTS you can buy. It's called a Carrera S with X51 Power Kit. I bought a missed Carrera S 4 weeks ago, and I'm ordering an X51 Power Kit to convert it to the FTS engine spec. It's now available in the Porsche Configurator on a new S, or as an aftermarket kit for the S. But you must have PSE, or you can order it with the X51 Power Kit. Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback. I might do a base c4 for the widebody and awd then go with the **************** turbo kit when it gets released. Seems like any way you go they are all good choices

A slightly different perspective:
99.9999% of the population don't know the difference between a base, an S, or a GTS. And, could care less. So, why bother?
Color is more important. If you're going to throw money at your car, put it there.

The question should be will you be happy with a GTS or should you buy a GT3
Seriously though, it depends on the kind of person you are. In terms of capability, I think the base Carrera's capabilities far exceed those of most of us as drivers. But that doesn't stop anyone from wanting more.

Always interesting to see how many base 911s are debadged.....if someone just wants to be “seen” more power to them. I happen to pay the extra for myself, could not care less if people got my 991 gts confused with a cayman.

Is it possible to do a x51 powerkit on the t since it's not a "s" model?

Carrera T with larger turbos would be awesome. Lightest 911 you can buy.
Where do you live? These RWD cars have the most grip I've seen/driven. AWD not necessary if you live in a hot state.

Cobb has tuned a couple 991.2s with that kit. Over 600whp.

You won’t regret the GTS, assuming money is not a factor. You might regret the base mainly because of no path forward for the X51 Power Kit. Plus, to parrot others, the GTS in MT is just plain awesome.

Awesome. Any more info? I'm thinking awd will be needed if I go bigger turbos down the road (thinking 4 or 4s) I love the widebody.
