Yeah, they should put that engine in the base Carrera model. Maybe the 'S' as well, if what people are saying about its tuning potential is accurate.

991.2 GTS pictures and video
If I see three constant instrument tests than I would accept the results. Cherry picking one test and concluding that the base is faster than a gts is well sort of ficticious. Firstly it's faster off the line and ends up even at the 1/4 mile in that test. So I would think that overboost plays a big roll. A jump off the line based on an over boost function is believable. After that the GTS would completely overcome the deficit just on hp alone. Based on that test only which to me is very inconclusive. Two different tests on two different days. I trust porsches published numbers more than any other publications. That's just me.

I have only seen one test where the journalist directly compared a gts and a base Carrera .2. That comparison wasn't a shootout on the same day or same track and weather conditions. In fact the GTS was tested over a year and a half ago. The journalist decided to pair the results even though they weren't done on the same day or conditions and test equipment. It's not a fair comparison and the journalist has lost a good bit of credibility by conducting a paper test and then writing about it as if he witnessed it.
Secondly if you can point me out to a direct comparison of the two vehicles or even a 991.1s. Would be great if you post it here. I haven't seen anything over the net that has a direct shootout style article.

It is difficult for me to believe that any 991.2 GTS would arrive without the 3rd front radiator. As Larry noticed, the red coupe did not have one. I cannot be absolutely positive, but when I pause the great video of the 991.2 Cab it looks like that one is without the 3rd radiator as well. Of course, maybe all the extra heat generated by the turbo is flushed out through the rear air intakes and exhaust vents. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I love my 991.1 and have no plans to go into a 991.2, but I'm sure I could find room for both if the 991.1 hadn't blown up my piggy bank.
