I think the sun has fried your brain. Which part looks like a Prius?

How did you get out of the 997 forum?

Congrats! She’s a beauty. I’m waiting for my first Porsche as well. Sweet racing stripes.

awesome. I had the car out last night when we went to dinner. Little snow and ice and it did just great. Any recommendations for washing the car in the winter?

I get a Mr Carwash monthly and try to go once a week. When it's crazy cold, I don't wash as much. Around freezing, when it's a salty mess, maybe a couple times a week if time allows... I see yours is a 4S, nice! The Alpins are great. I ended up buying a complete winter set from PofMpls this fall and they came with Sottozeros, so far they seem really good. Watch out for the other drivers with bald all season tires on slippery days!

Nice! Enjoy the amazing drive. And you are doing it right and actually DRIVING the car. Well done.

From a 4GTS owner there are some telltale signs it’s not a GTS. Still a super ride, there are no bad 911s.

Nice car there. Enjoy. Glad to see someone else not storing for winter. Please post some follow-ups when you get the racks installed.

it’s easy to spot it’s not a GTS. I want the HP of GTS, but I didn’t want the lower more aggressive look. I thought about putting the sports front bumper, but decided to keep it with standard bumpers.

I love the the looks of the GTS, but I felt I would have to rise it back up 20mm, and get rid of center lock (much high chance of a flat in cold weather).

It it seems I could configure a 4S to be a GTS and I could configure a GTS to be a 4S with PowerKit. Leaves buys a little confused. I’m pretty sure I made the right choice for me. If not I have a reason to buy a new 4GTS. 😀
