Working on my spec currently. Is it just a dressed up 992S? sure but I always like the GTS models.
I am curious on a few things:
The GTS package? Does anyone know everything that includes? Usually Porsche list that on the builder but I don't see it. I found I cant change seatbelt colors without removing the GTS package, would that mean if I wanted Yellow Belts/Tach/Chrono to match the PCCB calipers I'd have to remove the GTS Chalk Package?
What Headlights are standard on the GTS? Im guessing The LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black are still an additional cost?
What Steering wheel is standard on the GTS? It definitely looks different than the standard C2S however when optioning the GT Heated wheel, that one looks a little different than both the standard GTS and standard C2S wheel.
Still Mixed about the Aerokit. I like it and I dont. So far this is what I'm looking at
REALLY wish you could opt out of the exclusive design tail lights... leaves the rear looking a bit unfinished to me and bothers me a bit. ALSO... just saw this in the configurator which I think is new:
Illuminated Lateral Gills on Taillights - $170
The lateral gills on the corners of the taillights will be illuminated.
That could look cool... I'd love to see if its just when braking or what...
This is soooo different from what I've been thinking about ordering but starting to tempt me... still not sure the gts is for me though. still think its a performance bargain but I wish you could get more silver wheel options, regular tail lights, painted fins on rear bumper, etc... So for me... who will admittedly most likely never track the car.... getting a car that looks exactly how I want it to look may outweigh the performance bargain. It'll cost about the same with slightly less performance but it'll check the "object of desire" box better for me. That said, some of these gts builds are going to be bad ***.
That g'damn configurator has destroyed any workplace productivity for me today. I can't come up with anything less than $165k that would make me happy.
If I were to pull the trigger right now it would be night blue metallic slicktop over truffle leather, CCB, and silver 5 lugs.
Trying to spec the interior is really frustrating with all the dependencies. This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to get the LWB's in anything other than black?
What I really wish is that I could go back in time and do this with a 997 GTS.

I'm very much in the same boat. I had a complex PTS C4S configuration done and ready to be finalized and applied to an allocation I have for a build in the fall. Now the GTS is announced.
In my case, the premium to move to a GTS works out to be only $4k, which would definitely be worth it for the extra power, brakes, etc., but the GTS model requires black badging, black SD kit trim, and black wheels, none of which go well with my chosen PTS color. I do track once or twice a season, but I don't think that the little bit of extra performance will be worth compromising the aesthetics of the car I daily drive the rest of the year. If we could even just do non-black wheels I might be in on the GTS, but as it is now I'm likely going to stick with my C4S.

Best looking one so far. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm not feeling the 992 GTS aesthetically speaking. Too much black, the 991.2 had a better balance. For once, I'm not digging the centerlock wheels. These 992 GTS configurations give the car a cheap-o 30k-50k vibe. I'm sensing Nissan/350z/370z.
