Very nice.

I saw a white GTS just like your's at the dealer last week. I was in love!

Enjoy the new ride.

What is making the trunk space smaller?

Lovely car.

I live in Texas and went for the 50% tint as well. Looks good with it, 35% would be too much.

Sweet! They have one locally that I've been eyeing, same color combo but I think yours has a better option package. Congrats!

Answering a few questions about the GTS (since I have one too):

PASM is the standard suspension on the GTS. If it lists sport suspension, like OP's, that means S-PASM.

PSE is standard on all GTS cars. Which makes sense, since the GTS motor is really just an "S" with the X-51 option - and that includes PSE.

As far as I can tell, the front boot is smaller because the body is from the C4/C4S. That car has a smaller boot because of the all wheel drive system. The GTS doesn't have the awd, BUT it has the awd body so we get the smaller boot space. At least - that's the only reason I've been able to figure out.

And add my congratulations to OP. You have MY CAR, except for the white interior trim and parking aids which I didn't get. You'll have fun with it, that's for sure!

Good for you!

As for the "quieter" sound, have you considered replacing the 3rd (center) muffler with the Sharkworks cross over pipes? It is a direct/easy swap and you don't have to jack up the car or remove the rear bumper cover to do it. I believe the 3rd muffler on the 997.2 is killing the sound on the stock mufflers and the PSE mufflers
Gonna let the car break-in and then decide if a muffler upgrade is worthwhile. Will keep this in mind.

Thanks

Very nice! I'm really liking the seat backs as well. And white is great for reflecting away all that heat in LV!

Oh, you have to change your signature line too LOL!

Never had white car, and not to fond of black wheels but this combo seemed to work. Plus I need to expand my palette. All of my cars have black, dark blue or grey. Time for a change.

Supposedly the heat rejection is better and therefore a darker tint is not necessary. Also it should not interfere with radio/phone transmission.

Dan, see response below. I just know that all of the stuff I carried in my old trunk, (charts, medical equipment) won't fit. No biggee because we will switch to electronic records this year.

Got this one at Livermore. There were at least 3 more in northern CA (Carlson, Niello, Fremont) and quite a few in southern CA
