I don't quite understand the claim that the GTS sits, performance-wise, between the S and the GT3. It has 30 more HP than the S. That is the only performance difference, and it's undetectable unless you're timing laps of the Nurburgring, and maybe not even then. Owning a GTS is an aesthetic decision (wider rear fenders), not a performance one.
Now to help you understand, Porsche doesn;t have the lightest car, or the most HP, or the most comfortable seats, or the most luxury options. Its the exact mix of all the individual pieces that forms the perfect car to me. And thats true of each model. Every model has it's own feel. To me the C2S feels a little easier to drive day in and day out (991.1) than the GTS (991.1 and 997). Btw i bought the 997 GTS a couple years ago when i had a choice. Because i wanted a little more umphh. Not for the look.
OP do whatever you want to, listen to whatever options you like and ignore the ones you don't. Buy the car that you want for the reasons you want.

If you have the opportunity to drive an S and a GTS back to back you will feel the difference in power easily. In S+ the kick in the butt when it shifts is noticably harder. Porsche re-mapped the PDK and you can feel the even faster shifting. There there is the sound, Porsche spent a lot of time getting the sound right on the GTS and it is just amazing.
Agreed the S is a better daily driver, my front spoiler (AeroCup) is always on my mind, it is ok with 70% of the driveway entrances where I live.

After reading this thread I almost feel foolish for buying a C2S...the GTS sounds pretty sweet. If I am to be honest though I was steered away by the cosmetic updates: I completely understand their appeal to many but only the wide body interested me (and on th 991 I find it subtle). Not a fan of the black accents on the headlights, bumper, badges, etc. Guess I shouldn't have judged the book by its cover.
