Interesting that he finds the GTS suspension a bit stiff. I didn’t think the addition of helper springs from the Turbo would translate so noticeably. Unless I am incorrect in my understanding of which suspension components were brought over from the Turbo. Otherwise, his framing of the GTS as a baby Turbo makes sense.
I wouldn’t mind a little more in-cabin engine noise in my S, I wonder if there’s a way to remove sound deadening to that end like they’ve done with the GTS? Shorter shift throws would also be nice, maybe Suncoast will carry the GTS shift kit soon.

Damper tuning might be different on the GTS if there is a difference in feel.

I’m confused as to why the added boost, extra stiffness, TT suspension didn’t improve on the S Nurburgring lap time.

Not sure that the GTS is worth the ADM vs an S. The MSRP difference (between the S and GTS) is worth it for the package, but with the current market ADM tacked on, the value proposition falls down.

All the helper spring does is keep the main spring on its perch when the car is lifted or, I suppose, when driving quickly through heavy road undulations.

It'll be interesting to see how many S actually get built/delivered over the next few months. Reading comments here, always dangerous I know, it sounds like there are more GTS allocations coming through than S. Although that may just be because GTS is flavour of the month.

Wow just saw the Nurburgring times (7:25) and have to say that it is pretty disappointing considering the 991.2 did a 7:23. I know that was with P Zero Corsas so that would make a big diff. Lars Kern (driver) did say with better tires (I would suspect that would be Cup 2's or Corsa's) and tuning tweaks it could be in the 7:10s 🤷🏼♂️, I wish they would test it that way but Porsche is prob only going to test based on what the car is spec'd with.
