Can keep Cayenne *GTS*...
The Cayenne GTS model has been around for several years before the current Carrera GTS. They are very nice cars; fast, comfortable, and versatile.....

I know Mike, just NEVER been a Cayenne fan, to me, it's a more expensive VW, that looks uglier (Turbo excluded).

I just for a second thought OP has two GTS cars...

OK, so I'm posting a few pics of my 2012 C4 GTS (including one from when it was on the showroom floor) and my beloved 2008 C4S which, to use a phrase I commonly see around here, is "gone but missed" every day, and as I mentioned before, I love the discussions/debates and everyone's passion and enthusiasm for 911s of all years and types as they are, in my view, the best, most complete cars ever made.

And to clarify, yes, my other "GTS" is a 2010 Cayenne, but I actually drive an old 1972 International Harvester Scout II with no roof most days...she's off white and orange and a total beauty!

Good God beautiful! Stunning with the red interior. I work in the Irvine area if you want to experience a majestic exhaust note coming from a 997.2 .....

Thank you for all the comments about my GTS...I love that car, and at the risk of offending the 911 purists on the page, by request, I'm attaching a few pics of the '72 IH Scout (including one with the soft top). It has a 360 Mopar Magnum in it with only 16,000 miles and a rebuilt 727 transmission. These are the original colors, including the top, and they certainly don't make them like this anymore...an American classic!

Scout is sweet. Only 16K miles? Amazing. Looks mint.

Yes 16k on this engine and paint, etc...nobody knows what the actual mileage is on the frame but it runs incredibly every day!

He, he-- that Scout has a shorter wheelbase than the 997!

Love it. And welcome, Jackson. Your 4GTS is stunningly beautiful. Love the color, inside and out.
