I'm trying to not want a GTS. I have to be strong.......

OK, maybe a little test drive won't matter

I liked the Brigstones better than the PS2 I have now!

Agreed!! Takes a strong constitution not to want one of these! Surely one little ole test drive can't hurt. Can it?

WARNING-WARNING !

One little test drive CAN hurt. When I ordered my GTS cab, I test drove the coupe. 2 miles on the odometer; more when I returned it. Addictive. The veluptuous rear end is, ..., well, nice. BTW, this one had an aero kit. I love the rear end of my GT3, but I have to say, the GTS with Aero is even better looking. If you drive one, be prepared .....

Famous last words: "Yeah, let's just go test drive one."

To the OP, you're one lucky guy! Congrats! Went to my dealership over the weekend to look at the Cayenne Hybrid and this was sitting in the show room. What a beauty!! Pics are from my iphone so quality not so good.

That is actually a great look (not sure I would like the wing). What set of options are the wing and body kit? Since I am getting a Cab. I do not think it would quite work for me though. =)

All I ask now is that the boats go a bit faster, is that too much?

I think that's the standard aero kit.

EDIT: by standard I mean OEM (optional).

That's a seriously beautiful car. Love the black wheels with the polished rim. Very nice!

Me too ... not liking the aero kit. Seems disproportionate IMO.

Yes, it's the standard OEM Aero kit. See options below -

XAA - Aerokit Cup
P17 - Sports Suspension
267 - Self Dimming Mirrors
342 - Heated Seats (Front)
640 - Sport Chrono Package Plus

This car was special ordered by a customer who could not afford to take delivery. The guy lost his $8K deposit. No nav & 6 speed manual. I love all the alcantara bits, full leather, sports seats, etc.

I agree that the OEM Aero Kit looks "additional," and not in a good way.
The wing makes the car look like every WRX in L.A., also not good.

Not a fan of that wing (997.1-like)...only looks good on a GT3, IMO. Love the GTS more everyday, but have no justification to get it.

Quick GTS question...

I understand that by default, the GTS comes with Alcantara leather. If you delete this option, does this automatically come with the Full Leather option or would you have to order this additionally like you would on a regular C2/C4?

In looking through some of the on-line GTS inventory, the ones that show Alcantara deleted are listed as Full Leather even though they don't have that option added in looking at the deatails. I also notice some of the inventory showing up as "Black Leather Seats (F/R)". But looking through the option list of those cars, I can't tell why this would be in a separate category for the interior.

Can someone please clarify? Thanks!

I deleted my Alcantara package but full leather was still an additional option.
