That GTS listing has errors. One being its listed as an 'Automatic' (PDK since its a 2011) but the images show a manual tranny (gearshift & clutch pedal). I suspect there are more questions surrounding that car.

I've seen mistakes like that all the time. When I found my car online it was listed as a regular carrera at the dealer and I looked at the pics and saw that it was a GTS.

I agree the GTS is a great deal, but I am staying away from Black, I LOVE white.
I was all about getting a Cabrio, but if I go 911 I will more than likely go Coupe or Targa, to me if I go Cabrio ordering a 981 is the best option unless I find exactly what I am looking for in a 911 Cab.

Funny I am assuming the C2S comes with PASM because it has the buttons in the car so I am thinking it has PASM.

You may want to place an add for the car of your dreams, never know what will turn up....
As far as the listed cars for sale: The "Sports Plus" button is missing from both vehicles, this is why I question no PASM ?
Its your hard earned so don't settle.
Good luck with your search

As said above. If the GTS checks out I'd go for it. You won't be looking back.

It took me over a year to find or the car to find me kinda....and I agree white is a beautiful colour in a 911.

The GTS is a very special carrera and if you're looking for a great street 911 which is very capable on the track. I'm sure someone will snap it up in a week if it already hasn't been sold.

Thank you all, I am looking forward to my search, no rush here as it is Winter in New England. I thought more about the GTS, being Black I am staying away. I was all set to order a 981-S, now I am leaning towards a 997.2.

Never rush into a Porsche purchase. You're in the driver's seat. Many dealers have many cars and fewer buyers. Never be tempted by a 'fire sale' because another fine car may be right around the corner.
Evaluate what it is you want from the car and then decide which options are important to you. For example, do you have to have manual vice PDK and then, do you want PSE, etc. ? The multitude of ways these things can be ordered complicates the process a bit because many cars were stripped when ordered (minimal options) while others were loaded to the top with them. Try to find the latter! They are there, but it takes work.
Having lived in the Boston area I know that the winters can still be good Porsche driving days, particularly when it is dry and the last snowfall has been able to melt off--so don't sell yourself short on having ample opportunities to test drive during the next few months. Keep in mind, though, that the sport tires that are stock are going to perform best in temps above 45ºF.

We will see, I will continue to look.
Thank you

Adding PSE is fairly easy. A little pricy after the fact, but doable, nonetheless. If everything else is desirable, lacking PSE is not a show-stopper. It can be added, unlike many other options.

Sports plus is only available for pdk cars. He's looking at manual transmission cars so there's only a sport button. Both cars have PASM. As Alan C said, if the car checks out he should go for it. That GTS is so much better than the C2S that he's looking at if both sold for their respective asking price. I'm guessing that you have a pdk car since you're not aware of the differences.
The GTS is a very special carrera and if you're looking for a great street 911 which is very capable on the track. I'm sure someone will snap it up in a week if it already hasn't been sold.
