Yup. They're all amazing cars, but there is something very emotive about a RWD wide body 911. They've always been special, going back to the 993 C2S, etc.

Nice car I think both manual and PDK Porsches are the bomb. Both are pretty much the finest transaxles available. The Aero kit is great looking. GTS seem to keep their value. 83k is a bit high though. I have seen several similarly optioned cars trade hands in the $73-76k range. Your mileage will vary. Cheers

Just do it. 4 is twice as good as 2. Less than $70k would be a screaming deal, +$75k looks the norm for a 4.
Love my newly acquired C4GTS.

Car looks beautiful. Love the aero kit.
agreed, that prior post was laughable.

This makes me want a GTS... sometimes I wish I had gone GTS, that areokit is TOTALLY worth it. and in white. WOW.

I think the GTS feels more lively on the road. Whether that's good or bad is a matter of preference I guess. More feedback from the steering wheel and lighter steering. The 4wd is so planted it's almost as if it's on rails. Even on rain slick roads it inspires a lot of confidence.

Sandwedge. Thanks for the feedback. First Porsche and too many options, its confusing. Big price differences as well. Cab/coupe , gts, c4 or c4s. Im sure I will love any one I choose so c4 is probably fine but I dont want to regret not getting the extra hp, torque and sound of gts. Unfortunately I cant drive both. Too far away. I will keep you posted. Thanks again.
