Drive both and decide - no bad choices!
It’s interesting that the power feels similar, doesn’t the 991.1 GTS have 100 more HP? I assumed the T was 320 HP or something?

T is 370HP, but the torque band is *much* wider than the 991.1 GTS. The 3.0T (in any Carrera) "feels" like a much more powerful car.

RAS was not available as an option on the 991.1 GTS. If the T felt more "darty," the RAS had something to do with that for sure.

I had RWS on my 7 speed manual 991.2 GTS and couldn't even notice it on the road or on track. The only time it was present was when I was making a U-turn lol

This is an excellent, brief article about how RAS works. I found this enlightening because it explains that RAS works differently, depending on the speed of the car. Very cool technology.

really? For me it was very noticeable. I test drove a 991.2 GTS about a year before I purchased mine, and after about 5 minutes I ask the guy to look at the window sticker and see if it had RWS. It had that extra bit of turn that felt a little unnatural to me. Definitely through me off and was noticeable.
