Hi everyone: I am considering buying a new 991, 911 GTS when they become available. Realizing that nothing firm is known at this time about actual availability dates and GTS packaging, I am assuming that Porsche will likely follow the 997 GTS offerings.

In preparation for its availability, I am trying to learn as much as possible to settle on a build configuration to order when an allocation becomes available. I therefore have some questions that you all may be able to assist me with as I move through the process.
  1. Assuming a two-wheel drive model and a 4 GTS will be available, is there value in the 4 GTS? I do not plan to use this car as a daily driver, no plans for winter use and no plan regularly to track the car.
  2. I also noticed that Porsche offers 5mm wheel spacers. Assuming they are an option for the GTS, is there any reason not to consider them?

I will likely add questions to this thread as I learn more in hopes that many of the experienced Porsche enthusiasts here will provide me some assistance and/or guidance.

Thanks!
FYI best intelligence suggests that this model will be launched at L.A autoshow Nov 18-20th during press days.

I think he meant spend way more time driving it than rubbing on it.

I say much worse in real life. I dial it back here. Because it is anonymous.
