I got my S coupe allocation 3 weeks ago with no ADM at a dealer in FL after being in queue for 13 months. I never asked if a GTS would be quicker, as I only wanted an S. When I put in my order, I was told heritage interior was on stop sale as well as aero kit. I wanted to have the lower parts of the car painted in high gloss black, but that's on a stop sale as well. As has been discussed many times, PTS is also a stop sale for non-GT cars for the rest of 2023.
Good luck.

No ADM GTS owner here in Fl. The challenge you may run into is more and more dealers want to sell no ADM to locals for service/repeat business potential. YMMV, but is my un-scientific observation.

I had a large deposit down for a C2S allocation. 11 months later I was offered a GTS and went for it. Others' experiences may vary.
Certain hot markets may still have ADM's, but I think an ADM for a C2S will likely not be an issue; the market is softening a for the more or less normal cars.

My understanding is they don't allow nor forbid ADMs...BUT if you want to be a Premier Dealership, you can't collect ADM on new units. There are perks with the Premier rating that include additional allocations amongst other things so all dealerships probably do the calculus of determining if they can qualify as a PD given all it takes to achieve that and if it is worth it to them.

Your local dealers are pretty much the only place you may find no/low ADM pricing right now. Out of market dealers will want a significant ADM to sell a sports car to you.

Was able to get an allocation in a C2S in early/mid December, Delivery was originally 2/15 and Shipping delays pushed it to 3/10.
I HAVE TO SAY: I was originally pissed because I know the owner of the 29 store group (and this was a new point opening allotment) and we still had to pay $10k over sticker - that said, it seems this allotment was worth more than I thought?

Porsche doesn't like ADM... They totally "tolerate" it.
Here in the Boston area some dealers (20-30%) will put you on the list for a 911 at MSRP. Many will look hurt and say they can't.
I bought my GTS for MSRP
If you buy it off the floor... prepare for ADM, for sure.
