On the hunt for a .2 GTS Coupe RWD

Three Wheelin'
CL wheels are easy to live with. I bought a Porsche winter wheel set and won't be buying more wheels. Get breaker bar and it's no different.
Alcantara was a no go for me. Leather is easy to maintain. Oily Alcantara gets matted down and you loose grip anyway. Its fine on A pillars and headliner.

Just to be able to check pricing.... this auction just closed today. It can give you a better idea of what pricing to expect. Best of luck! Hope to see your new ride posted here soon.

Sure. If someone is going to be buying numerous wheelsets then the 5 lug option makes more sense. For those that are getting CL, taking them off and putting them back on is quite easy. Now how many drivers are actually taking their own wheels on and off? It’s something that is regularly stated by drivers of 5 lug wheels. Why? I don’t know? It shouldn’t be a deal breaker for most buyers.

You ask about GTS interior opinions... apart from the cost, it's just what I wanted. Alcantara has been a must have for me for many years, grippy, cool. The CLs are a clean look but questionable on a non GT car, they're unlikely to get stolen though! Mine's a DD too and you won't be disappointed. I succumbed to Soul cats at first then a custom tune, realizing the engine is very strong from experience of the folks here.
There's a new Carmine GTS in our dealer but no RAS or PDCC, it's been there for at least six months. Keep hunting and good luck.

Since you lose the seat cooling with the Alcantara, I was wondering how these seats would do for a track day? I plan on doing some track days here in VA, it gets hot, so I’m struggling with the grippy, cool Alcantara and no seat cooling vs the less grippy, hotter leather with seat cooling. I know I don’t want the Alcantara on the steering wheel. Any input welcomed on leather w/ seat cooling vs Alcantara w/o seat cooling for a track day!

Your butt is going to slide a little in the leather seats compared to Alcantara, but the bolsters should still hold you pretty well. If you're just doing DE events, you will be fine. You could always get a bucket seat for track days if you're overly concerned about it. It's a 15 min swap.
On a side note, if you were looking for an S vs GTS, my car would be perfect for you. Guards Red/Full leather and has all your desired options + carbon trim and FAL.

The reason I ask is I’m seeing people (dealers and private parties) asking close to $100k for 2018 Carrera T’s. For some reason I can’t get my head around a T commanding the same price as a same year GTS.
