One of the videos (Redline Reviews) says explicitly that the increased hp is due to bigger turbos (i.e., not just a tune).

I stand corrected; didn’t catch that review.
“larger turbos with more boost…”

Default Evo review

Another good review (from a respected enthusiasts magazine) pointing to the GTS being more than the sum of the parts

I have seen 2 tests, but nobody talks about difference in exhaust sound. Does that mean that there is no difference with a carrera with PSE?

I just watched some of these reviews and noticed that I can't hear on any of them the pops on exhaust when a relief the throttle pedal like my 992 Carrera does in Sport mode.

I'm disappointed with all those "reviews". I think we all already know all the GTS information from Porsche press when GTS was first announced couple of month ago (alcantara, black bits, power hump, bigger brakes, re-calibrated suspension, louder PSE with less deadening...). I expected more info about driving dynamics, brakes, exhaust, steering feeling in those reviews. Perhaps some comparison to Carrera S or even M3/4. But nothing.

Looks like Murray made better and more in depth review than those "journalists" that actually drove the car. And that he was right, there is nothing special about GTS compared to S, the journos didn't notice and report anything.

Nevertheless I still have GTS on order with expected delivery this year. I hope I could report some differences compared to my previous 992S.

The reviews out so far are not from any of the “heavy hitters”. I will wait until some of the more respected journalists release their driving impressions. Agreed most of the ones out thus far are more of a spec list type review with very broad driving impressions. Love him or hate him, Matt Farah’s video should be dropping today, according to him. Will be interesting to hear his thoughts.

I wonder if Matt will feel the shorter shifter throw is a significant change. His last comment of the 7-speed manual, in a GTS was, "meh".

Agree with the ho hum comments. Nothing yet to suggest giving up my S allocation and waiting for the GTS. Reviews seem to be mixed, even with most of the GTS's being tested coming in over 170k..yikes. Most things said about the GTS were also said about the S when it was reviewed. Seems like it sounds better than the S, but for my ears I would still want an aftermarket solution. From what I can tell, GTS is a great car, but so is the S, and the base for that matter. If you like the looks of the GTS, or you are optioning up an s over the GTS base price, go for the GTS as it will be a better investment. You're not getting much more performance with it. Unperceivable to most, even multiple professional journalists. As this has been said on this forum a million times, nothing new here. Maybe this will change as more reviews are released.

I have spent unhealthy amounts of time on YouTube today and am still happy with my decision to order my 4GTS. Only thing now is I find myself actually liking Python Green. Hmmm…..
