So i made a post yesterday in one of my old threads but somehow ended up in the 997 forum.. so starting over
i've been a bmw guy forever but decided a few months back to go to porsche. initially was going to keep my x5 and get a cayman, but after driving the base and the s i decided i did not want a 4 cylinder. so that left me with either the GT4 or the new GTS, but decided i wanted the rear seat for some flexibility. i will say it has been an experience getting to know all the options, but after almost buying a few cars i finally found the perfect car. just picked it up yesterday and drove it home 3 hours. details are:
2018 911
7spd manual
14 way seats
PDLS
premium plus package
sport chrono
the sport chrono option was the hard to find one; i really wanted the rev match. this one doesnt have the PSE, but i can always add it or go after market; the dealership has a motorsport division and they are strongly recommending soul performance. either way, it's been a huge change for me and still getting used to all the electronics and how low it is!
i had also read that when you press the small dial you can get overboost for a few seconds.. is that not available on the manual transmission? i cant seem to be able to press that dial; just rotate it
Very nice! I just picked up my first Porsche (a 991.2 C2 with PDK) 3 months ago, and I hope you get as much enjoyment out of your new P-car as I’m getting out of mine!
Congrats are your first Porsche! I recently picked up my first a couple of months ago as well (also a 2018 991.2 manual transmission). The over-boost button you are referring to is a PDK feature only.
It should be a bit louder and make more power than the Soul offering for the non-PSE exhaust due to the larger outlet among other features. And of course, there are the Vektor headers too. Throw in a tune from APR or Cobb, and your car will be well past GTS power levels.
Very nice! I've been a BMW guy for a long time too. Last was the Z4 but as of Memorial Day now a happy owner of a 2017 Carrera S Cabriolet.
Lots of drivers with big smiles.

You get a ton of fun with manual, instead of overboost button! Congrats on the right choice of car and transmission!
