I haven't seen anyone who was sad for getting a GTS, a .1 or .2. Am delighted with mine! What are the additional options on the one you're looking at. That will also help.
It seems a little incongruous to me on a car like this, but options are more luxury than performance-related, e.g., glass sunroof, Burmester audio system, 18 way seats, etc.
i love my GTS, only thing i bought for it were the rennline grills, a battery tender (this is very important) and the amber side headlight delete. have never had a problem with it.
I have a 991.1 GTS and absolutely love it. IMO, it is the perfect car. I like the wide stance and performance improvements...and it's good both on the track and around town. I'm also partial to the exhaust set up. I like the 4 tips that are spread wide (vs 2 in the center). YMMV.
I did get rid of the P Zeros and put on Michelin Sport Cup 2s.
Thanks again to everyone who responded to my post. After some hesitation and a bit of haggling with the dealer, I bought the white GTS late yesterday afternoon -- just in time for a blast of cold, rainy weather. I was nervous as hell driving the GTS home from the dealership. I really missed my C2 Black Edition and was frustrated at not having a Porsche to drive during the best months of summer, but I think the crash left me with a bit of PTSD.
Agree with Porsche911GTS'16. Amazing all around PCar. No reliability issues on mine after 28k miles with about 10 track days. I would recommend the Rennline grills to protect the radiators from road debris. The exposed radiators are delicate and can be costly to repair/replace if damaged.
I have 2 sets of wheels plus stock wheels and change them up often for road and track use.
You have a few options for wheel removal. The majority here on RL use the 3/4" precision instrument torque wrench and breaker bar. This is a no joke task. You will need a second person applying break pressure and keeping the wheel straight while you use all your might to loosen those CL bolts.
With that system you only need the 1/2" torque wrench as it multiplies the force. You can also use this for changing the oil filter, oil and spark plugs so it's an all around great tool to have if you are doing your own up keep.
I am still in love with my 2015 GTS after 4 great years (bought CPO in 2016). I have mod'd it the way I wanted - HRE's, grilles, side markers, tweeters, wrapped, and most importantly, AWE Switchpath - full throttle, Sport Plus, NA throat = OMG!), and enjoy every minute driving it... Keeping it forever.
Hard to go wrong with either, but to me the GTS is the ideal point on the 911 continuum. I like that the 991.1 was still an NA model. And the comments about the sound are dead-on.
