Prisma, thanks.
Your thoughts are very relevant for me, I currently drive a F80 M3 and this will also be my first Porsche.
i drove a 991.2 GTS at the Porsche experience center here in Los Angeles and loved it, except I found the cabin to be a bit dated.
Based on this I Decided to order a GT silver 992 C2S, and optioned Sport Chrono, Sport Exhaust, SPASM, RAS, 18 way seats, PDLS+, Bose, and a few other options. Basically I’m trying to get the car as close to a “GTS” spec as possible. According to reviews I’ve read, these options should make it very close in performance and handing to the 991.2 GTS.

i tell you, i was not prepared for the power of this thing. The force exerted was incredible. It felt much faster than the M3. I looked over at my passenger after and they were clearly shocked and a bit scared but were trying to look brave - hilarious! Obviously I, wasn’t scared a bit 🤫 😂😂

So the car has now done enough miles which meant I could experience full power (acceleration). I was expecting similar acceleration to the M3, being only what..0.6s quicker on paper 0-60.

Hey actually 0.6 seconds difference on 0-60 is quite large.

I do have FAL and have used it exactly once so far. I don't have SPASM so can't comment on that, but the ground clearance has been fine for me so far.
I do have PSE and I think it's a must have.

Sorry for the slow reply moomin. I was on a driving holiday in the Alps with the new car. It was great! The front plastic chin scraped a few times in steep garages but it didn't do any damage. I'd say the 10mm drop puts this right on the threshold of needing FAL. If you are worried about it, add it and you then will have peace of mind. Since I don't have it, I just have to remember to drive really slowly in such situations. BTW, I also took the car on several gravel roads to hiking spots and never scraped the underside -- it doubles as an SUV
