Definitely agree. I have had my 2012 GTS for three years, longer than I have kept a car in a long time, and I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. The power kit is worth 23 HP, not 20. Not a big difference, but might as well take credit for all the extra horses.

I am quite certain that I got this info from this forum in a posting from a reputable member. It's been a little while though and cannot exactly remember whom. I just copied and pasted. The web site that someone previously posted for "build sheets" now requires admin log-in passwords to enter, however when printing out my cars "build sheet" before a p-word was required, it seemed to me that there were enough pages of GTS VIN#'s to support those numbers.

It has the 408hp factory X51 engine option! This is the same factory engine that has won 2 Rolex GT series championships!

Also 2 wheel drive wide body with GT2 skirts is pretty special.
