Yup. Deflectors to help meet stringent noise requirements at some tracks...

http://www.evoms.com/Shark_Werks_GT3...tshrkgt3dt.htm



I believe certain tracks, like Laguna Seca, have very strict limits as well as exact measuring locations, and even something simple like directing the exhaust in a different direction can be the difference between staying on the track or being kicked off for a noise violation.

But yes, it's pretty silly that the dealer didn't remove it before the photo shoot, but it could be worse!

More "Laguna Seca Mods"...

Dealer prolly had "never tracked" in his ad!

Edit: oops, just noticed vincenzo's similar comment.

Some of these tracks are so ridiculous. So the sound is redirected away from the "sound alarm" and somehow it solves something?? You still have the sound, just shooting in other direction.

Anyway, funny ad and pic.

2015 GTS
VIN WP0AB2A92FS125778
Original sticker $138,045
Asking $99,900
Miles 14,811

I’ve purchased two Porsche’s from Oliver at Millenia Motors and both transactions have been great. Seems like a good deal for a GTS but the ad says it only has one key. I’d negotiate getting a second one.

Please tell me why?????

So much pain here ..

You'd think the dealer would have enough common sense to take off these hideous stickers. Do a tasteful door one with just Porsche or GTS, but just "Carrera" and those hideous rear ones??

Just a bad reference to a 73 Carrera RS. Doesn't work with a 2016 GTS.

Any of you guys in TX and close to Porsche North Houston reach out to John Wright. A great guy to meet and introduce yourself to even if not specifically looking at a car there. A super guy and contact to know. He's not some high pressure sales guy and likes to meet fellow enthusiasts and network too.

Always has the scoop on new incoming cars and always willing to give advice. Stop by and introduce yourself to him and tell him you're a HFS follower. He's a HFS friend here. He also ships nationwide and will pick up your trades anywhere in the US.

It's always great having a solid Porsche contact.

I have been watching the gts market for about 6mo and that seems like a fair price with good options
