Lots of good info here. Less than 1000 cab 4 GTS' in the wild. Crazy!
As far as turbo/NA; I have to say that I love the sound of the NA engines. I currently own a 2006 C4S cab that I love and the new GTS is the only 991 that sings to me; I love the Carmine Red!
Anyways, the new smaller FI engines will probably fly but I'll be lucky to see a track once a year once my 3rd child arrives. So I'm thinking a NA GTS cab is the ticket for me but I cannot decide on RWD or AWD? Some guys just ask whether I'll be driving it in the winter (NO) and say buy RWD. So ehn would be the latest I could order a 2016 next year?

I would say just drive them both the RWD and AWD, that should tell you which one you like driving better. Personally unless you need AWD for inclement weather conditions than to me the RWD on the 991 really feels planted much better than the 997 ever did. A huge benefit also with the RWD version and GTS is you get the widebody in 2WD which if you keep the car long enough will be a factor in value as it should be higher IMO.

Well, there's a question "Check out how many "special" 997.2 models there were in the year - 18 months . . ." But no answer so here ya' go. These are worldwide numbers for the 997.2 GTS. How these numbers compare to total 997 production and if it is at all different enough from all other 997s to make it special have been debated ad naseum. Anyway, here's the data, come to your own conclusion. 
997 Carrera GTS total: 6.747
997 Carrera GTS Coupé: 2.656
997 Carrera GTS Cabrio: 1.813
997 Carrera 4 GTS Coupé: 1.321
997 Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio: 957
997 Carrera GTS total: 6.747
997 Carrera GTS Coupé: 2.656
997 Carrera GTS Cabrio: 1.813
997 Carrera 4 GTS Coupé: 1.321
997 Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio: 957
