I agree with the poster who mentioned the more 'mechanical' sound of the GTS, it barks and growls, and steered me into one for my first Porsche. I came from the 'restorer' C3 Corvette world, and wrenching got a little dangerous on big block cars as I get older.
They are so well made compared to all the junk out there, aside from boutique stuff. I'm excited to be a Porsche owner.

a GTS X51 engine does have a slightly different tone through an uncorked PSE for sure (there's a few contributing factors to that yes the cams/intake manifold etc...).

A couple of Atlantic articles lamenting the manual transmission's demise...
One from this month and another from 1952 (love the non-PC verbiage of the 70-year-old story).

Both are "share" links, so you should be able to read the entire article without a log in/subscription.
