That seems like an unusually long delay. Are you taking the delivery in USA or China?

Taking delivery in SoCal. I honestly don't know why either. I was the second customer to order a C4GTS, and my my dealership is a fairly large one in all of United States. I will be making further inquiries regarding this issue.

When I placed my order, my vehicle status was started at V70 and had been since progressing to V200 just a week ago.

Does 991.2 GTS PSE sound better than normal 991.2 PSE? No, it is the exact same thing.

Really? Good to know. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.

The 991.1 GTS (or S w/powerkit) with PSE versus a 991.1 S with PSE do sound different, on the other hand.

Could be. But the turbos that feed into it are different.

Is the sound clip from the inside of the car or outside, because the GTS has less sound-deadeining material, therefore it may sound louder/better on the inside.

Really? I didn't know this, either. I thought they would be identical in the sound deadening material.

Would an S with a powerkit also have less sound-deadening material?

That's because there is differences in the engine internals, not only peripherals. In this case only the turbocharger.

Yes, they are different.

"9A2 3.0 991.2 Carrera

Horsepower: 370
Torque: 332 lb-ft
Boost Pressure: 13.1 psi
Bore x Stroke: 91mm x 76.4mm
Redline: 7500 rpm
Compression Ratio: 10.0:1
Intercooler: Air to Air
Turbos: 49mm compressor/45mm turbine

9A2 3.0 991.2 Carrera S

Horsepower: 420
Torque: 369 lb-ft
Boost Pressure: 16.0 psi
Bore x Stroke: 91mm x 76.4mm
Redline: 7500 rpm
Compression Ratio: 10.0:1
Intercooler: Air to Air
Turbos: 51mm compressor/45mm turbine

9A2 3.0 991.2 Carrera GTS

Horsepower: 450
Torque: 405 lb-ft
Boost Pressure: 18.0 psi
Bore x Stroke: 91mm x 76.4mm
Redline: 7500 rpm
Compression Ratio: 10.0:1
Intercooler: Air to Air
Turbos: 55mm compressor/48mm turbine

Now, the engines are effectively all the same thing. Porsche is sharing parts and cutting costs. The only real difference is the turbocharger sizes, boost pressure, and tuning.

The Carrera and Carrera S only differ by 2mm in turbo compressor size. The GTS however has a 6mm larger compressor and 3mm larger turbine. "
