Yeah, for someone who already has a GTS it probably isn't worth it. But man, if I was in the market for a 992, this would be the goldilocks model.

Nah, it has way less sound-proofing.

When the configurator goes live, the $20k premium of the Carrera GTS over the S will be largely offset through the included options that are added cost on the S models. Plus, you get additional options not available to S buyers. That being said, if you don’t want those included options, a Carrera GTS doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Wait...so no bespoke NA 4.0 motor or "detuned Turbo motor"? 😁
Option to spec Turbo PCCBs is an interesting development. They put in Turbo helper springs, which is a random choice. Short shifter sounds nice.
$138k for PSE, SPASM and PSE + 30HP is not a bad deal. A C2S with PSE/SPASM/PSE is ~$134k and doesn't have the aesthetic touches or extra grunt.
As always - the GTS is a good value options package on the C2S -- a nice option if you can get one, but not something I'd trade a C2S in to get. And of course, the inevitable ADM would negate that advantage anyway.

When does the config become available? And the release date?

Sexfiend be trolling you. Successfully.
I don’t think it sounds like a current U.S. 992 Carrera S in the video. The current one sounds good. That GTS doesn’t. If it comes with the euro can in the exhaust, it may not sound great. Maybe that’s why they’re pulling the sound deadening out of it ? Porsche thinks that they can deafen people with tire noise so they won’t hear the wheezing exhaust.
We’ll see I guess.

OK.
The 992 GTS is officially announced in the USA! 🏁 🇺🇸 👍 🏁 😃
473 HP & 420 Ft-lbs (480 PS & 570 N-M) with big GT3/911Turbo brakes!!
Now, the challenge is to try to find a good waiting list position for an allocation for a custom order 👀 🤔

Looks like:
- +30HP, 30 lbs ft
- Short shift kit
- SPASM and additional suspension from Turbo (not sure what the upgrades are there)
- PSE
- Brakes from Turbo
- Sport Design Kit
- Center Locks
- Bunch of Alcantara and satin black bits
Good deal if you were going to spec some of the bigger ticket items on an S anyway which I suppose is the GTS value prop
I have a C2S allocation Sept build Nov delivery. Wondering if it's worth waiting for this but the new Canadian luxury tax (Jan 1, 2022) takes some of the value away...

"The interior insulation has been reduced, which enhances the emotive driving acoustics" = it's a lot noisier?
Probably not getting it but what's the appeal of this model? An 30 extra hp is very little over an S which can still hit 60 in around 3 seconds with Chrono. (And a tune could easily overcome that difference) Unless totally stripped down, $138K plus options, is approaching Turbo territory.. so why not just get a Turbo? ..and if you want the hardcore race track feel, reduced insulation, lightweight emphasis, bucket seats, and all, get a GT3?

Respectfully, you’re completely full of ****. “October build/Nov delivery” denotes an actual allocation, and no allocations actually exist. You’re fooling no one here except yourself. The owner of my dealer as of Sunday said there has been zero news on the GTS from Porsche corporate.
It even came early than expected ..... delivery next week
