Kidding aside, I am sure there are a lot fewer GTS manual transmission coupes in the general Porsche community than are seen on Rennlist.

If the number of pre-owned cars for sale are any indication, GTS are more rare than GT3.
Currently on Porsche pre-owned car locator, there are only 12 GTS and 4 C4-GTS listed for sale in the entire US. In comparison, there are 33 GT3 and 18 GT3-RS listed for sale.

I can't wait for the day when someone is giving me their GT3 + cash for my rare GTS!

Also safer in case of a rollover -- the metal sunroof can forcibly slide open from external factors and the glass sunroof can shatter in worst case.

I'm so glad I owned a 981 GTS first because Caymans do not have a sunroof. When I spec'd my 991.1 GTS, no sunroof. I'm glad I didn't order it. My salesman called me to make sure I knew that my car didn't automatically come with a sunroof. I told him that I knew that & I didn't want one. This car is a keeper & I didn't want anything to break, leak, etc. To the OP, my 7MT, no sunroof, full aero with ducktail & wing, 18-way sports seat with ventilation, no Alcantara, LED lighting, & GT Silver must be extremely rare. Fact is, all are cars are rare because there is a very small chance that any two were exactly spec'd the same. That is, if you were lucky enough to custom order one.

I have MT w sunroof but not glass one. So still pretty good with all body color panels.

So short of kidnapping a Porsche executive, tying him to a chair and tickling his feet with a pillow feather in order to gain the US-bound GTS production numbers, does anyone have a more law-abiding approach for sourcing the data?
Love my PDK and sunroof and have a hunch that the racing yellow paint is pretty rare within the GTS range.
Discuss!

I personally think that all of us 991.1 GTS owners have a collector's item on our hands for the simple reason that we have a bitchin' 430 horse naturally aspirated engine in our vehicle's derrier. I have a cab with PDK. Blasphemy to some, but perfect for my So Cal lifestyle. I am never selling the car but I am confident that it will be looked upon as a Porsche "classic" in about a decade or so.
