Congratulations. I think you will really enjoy your GTS. I have had mine for about a year and love it. I plan to keep it for a long time, which is unusual for me.

If you don't mind saying, which NC dealer to you get it from?

I feel the same way. I don't swap cars as much as some other people here, but there were other cars that I thought were going to be keepers, but I believe that this is finally it for me. But maybe when I'm in my mid 50s to early 60s a decade from now I might want something more comfy. I just need to enjoy my midlife crisis car until then. It's like a joke at my office. Guys that don't even know me know what car I drive and they say "nice midlife crisis car" while passing them in the hallway.

And it seems like a high percentage of GTS are white or black. I really dig it in blue or gt silver.

How does the 911 4 GTS compare to the 911 GTS PDK? I have driven the 911 GTS and loved it. My car does not have SPASM, does it make much difference?

I don't know the answer but in the August issue of Excellence, in the letter from the Editor column up front, it's stated that in their experience (Excellence Magazine) the GTS is actually better (less understeer and handles bumps better) without SPASM. They probably went into more detail in the issue where they actually review the car.

Yeah but you live in hawaii and can stop at places with great scenery. Do the cops still lurk at tantalus to make sure people arent driving crazy? If I ever moved back I know I would sell my car. The parking stalls are too narrow in hawaii and theres too many haters that will mess with your car over there.

Congratulations! Nice car!

I am puzzled about the comment on the GTS better without Spasm...will that be the same for the 4 GTS?
