I doubt there will be any issues because there are fans that operate to insure proper ventilation. Tied into some thermostat I'm sure.

We are talking about airflow when fans are not operating, they are thermostatic and only for compartment cooling, and not for feeding engine intake...

I never knew that happened until my wife was following me one day on the freeway as I popped open the sunroof ...we switched cars after that and the simultaneous movements are like watching the synchronized action of the leading and trailing edge wing flaps of an airliner at take off or landing


That's cool. I didn't know that about the sunroof.

I believe the option is called just PASM on the GTS and includes 10mm lower ride height, more agressive front chin, larger swaybars, and steeper angle on the deployable rear retractable spoiler above 70 mph.

Nope there is PASM and PASM-S, PASM-S lowers the car and *additional* 10mm over PASM.

I dont know about the spoiler deployment angle, except that it does deploy further when a sunroof equipped car has it open(ed)

I'm not sure natural air flow can be achieved through the fan with any accuracy. If that was the intent than I would think that we would have vertical slots like the 991.2

On the GTS cars it's just called PASM. I guess it's because everything else is standard. Same thing but porsche likes to confuse people.

On a GTS with PASM the rear spoiler deploies at a steeper angle. If I recall correct from literature it's 240 deg

(a very early) merry christmas!
I am sure a PTS Mexico Blue unwanted spoiler is worth more than an unpainted one... far more rare....

Nope, PASM-S was an option for GTS coupes.

Just checked and your correct. It's listed as pasm sport suspension and not just pasm. Think I was correct in the description though. Just a typo error.

Yup PASM is std on GTS, PASM Sport Suspension is an additional option only offered on the Coupe which lowers the car an additional 10mm over PASM

Not sure about the relative angles of the deployed rear wing with the exception
that sunroof cars deploy it further when the roof is open ... I suspect that the
GTS probably deploys it further than an 'S' but I am not certain of that

I think the GTS deploys the spoiler at a steeper angle because it has the front splitter from the Aero package, without either the duck tail, or the "cup" wing... every GTS has the front lower, so without either of the rears, they needed more wing for balance.

Sounds about right. Would like to see the op's results with keeping the black grill and adding the duck to it. Might be an option for me in the future.
