I bought mine for $114K. List was $127K back in June 2011.

If you get more than 10% on a new GTS I say go for it. You won't be sorry.

I'm not.

Correct. On the 991 section of the board they refer to it as a "comfy" car.

I prefer a sports car.

I haven't snuck into the 991 forum yet, I need to do that. Can't believe someone used the "C" word.

funny. i just increased rebound stiffness on my shocks and like result very much compared to what it was.

if i only could swap out engine too, it is all i want from a GTS car, rest of the body is just fine but i want those 400 horses...

Yeah, I think Porsche actually has a comfort tire pressure setting on the 991.

I've started a lazy search for a black PDK GTS. If I ever find one I will feel fortunate if there are enough of others around where I have any negotiating power at all. As of last night, GTS's are scarce across the country.....especially if you start to specify color and options.

Performance Porsche in Chapel Hill, NC has a black PDK Carrera 4 GTS in their inventory if you are interested in a C4. No Sport Chrono on this car.

Thanks but no SC on a PDK car is a deal breaker for me. That's a retarded build if I ever saw one. I had no idea they even made GTS's without SC.

I agree, just thought I would let you know about the car in case you didn't think SC was a must.

I know and I appreciate that. I think you can add SC. No wart on the dash but you get the rest.

Do they also provide an extra button for it? or would Sport button have two stages?

The Suncoast website says that you get an additional "Sport Plus" button.

Yeah, thanks, I just saw that. Good idea then, if you can find an ideal car just missing that one feature, then just budget for $1K for adding it.

So those who cant afford a 991 get to feel special too
