I have gold wheels and the aerokit and I can still watch the videos without getting all worked up.

Thanks for doing what you do, most of us appreciate it and the rest are GTS owners and/or Alcantara lovers LOL.

Enjoy tracking your GTS, I love mine.
Did the badge removal thing as well, just 911 badge on rear and door badge delete.
Most people don’t realize how capable these cars are on track. I’ve tracked my S extensively the past year and am always impressed with the performance relative to GT3s and other cars. I’ve found tires to be a key discriminator. Do you know what tires and sizes were on the GT3 & GTS you drove at Barber? Did the GTS have PDCC?

You must have the best roads in the country. Here in Atlanta our steel plate- and pothole-laden surface streets are pretty rough with the GTS. It's not worse than my C63 was, but comparing to my husband's 2018 Audi S5, it's a stark contrast. That said, over fairly smooth pavement I thought the GTS was remarkably pleasant. The first thing I did with the car was a 2000-mile roadtrip, and throughout that time we were really happy with the ride quality. Only once I got back home and started driving on the dilapidated roads around me did I find that the GTS suspension is a fickle beast.

Not sure I buy the badge snob argument for buying a GTS over an S, all it really does is scream "can't afford a GT3".

lol, its is officially the dumbest post in this thread...and that's sayin' something.

A GT3 starts at $161k. There are MANY GTS specs that will surpass $175k. There are plenty of people that can afford a GT3 that have no need for a track car and will go GTS/S.

I'm not sure what "screams" you hear, but they make zero sense.

My fake GT3 might not be much, but I do get to feel superior to @CodyBigdog and the other S owners, since I have TWO (2!) more letters in my model name . Gotta take my wins where I can get them 🤣

I guess that's like saying a GT3 RS buyer is someone that can't afford a McLaren Senna GTR.

Lots of ridiculous comments and appendage measuring in this thread. The GTS has always been amazing model, and one that I think is special. I was a huge fan of the 991.2 GTS which I felt was the best 991 model and one that I personally owned for 2.5 years. For the 992 generation, the standard car was elevated quite a bit and I didn't feel that the slight differences warranted the price disparity but I am sure it is still a special car. It is diluted compared to the 991 which shared the GT3's intermediate widebody, had its own turbos, etc. I'm happy with my S this time around, and would be equally happy with a similarly specced GTS as well.

Yes, GTS had PDCC. Both were on stock tires. PZero's on GTS, Cup 2 on GT3.

Let's get this straight.

You buy a sports car and people automatically assume your compensating for a small ______________.

The C2S/C4S v GTS/GTS4 debate has essentially be reduced to a _________ measuring contest.

And the irony of that is that if you wanted to evaluate _________es, you would probably need to incorporate performance/technique, and not just rely on the dimensions aka specs.

I think you misinterpreted my post, but that's okay because communication isn't precise on an online forum debate. Besides that, you are free to skip over my posts or use the ignore function.

Nick playing everyone repeatedly has nothing to do with money. He's gaslighting his viewers and some of those viewers are rennlisters who post it here.. We're 10 pages deep into the GTS for the 900th time in history. He knows very well what he's doing.

Good job Nick! Get em! Your fanboys and minions are multiplying
