Standard on the GTS. You would have had to opt for PSAM if you didn't want SPASM.

Exactly. So I guess I don’t understand the comment of the GTS chassis being tuned “softer” lol

Cheaper to do that than put the LWB in the GTS!

Also - RWS in the T for these particular cars.

Of those two cars I would get the GTS hands down. Manual on a T is a must, no pdk.

Also for THIS particular comparison, BOTH have PASM The GTS is stated to have PASM and not SPASM.

Both are great cars. He should drive both, and pick the one he likes best.

I can’t speak to the GTS vs T debate, but I can tell you Westmont is delusional with their pricing. Here’s a new 2019 T within driving distance at a better discount. ($115k MSRP - $98k ask.)

I don't either. Maybe the tire pressures were not set right in the one he drove.

Even though both have SPASM standard, the suspension tuning is not the same. Drive both back-to-back and you will see. I suspect a good part of that is the dynamic motor / transmission mounts...but only Porsche really knows.

cheers!

So the T lacks the dynamic engine mounts? Isn’t that standard with SC?

Yes, except on the T. T has static mounts.

Sorry didn't meant to thread jack, get the GTS, the T is great with a manual, if he wants a PDK and with that price difference the GTS is a no brainer. price is too high for the T, I know someone local to me selling a T with 12k miles, 18 way sofa's, no full leather but the T interior package, and he is asking 95k. and thats south florida, prices are inflated by at least 5-7% here.
and most likely he's going no where with that asking, nice c4 btw, pse & better seats would make it really special

Test drove one proper T this week (mt ras buckets). As a current owner of gts, if a t owner has similar spec to my car(mt full leather int ras pccb no roof blk led) plus buckets, i'd trade it even. But I haven't seen such a T yet. And I doubt the owner would want to trade.
