The new 997 GTS
Really? More S, Not quite GT3.
Porsche customers are going to walk into the dealer and say I would like a 911. The sales rep responds, great - "Would you like a 911 Carrera, or an S, 4, 4S, Targa 4, Targa 4s, Cabrio, Cabrio S, Cabrio 4, Cabrio 4S, GTS, GTS Cabrio, Sport Classic, GT3, GT3RS, GT2, GT2 RS, Turbo, Turbo S, Turbo Cabrio, or Turbo S Cabrio?"
Buyer.... Ummmm (blank stare), ummmmm........................

Did I just hear some money falling?
Well, are we all just over paying for everything? the better deal is to get a gt3 and just strip it. A not so bad deal is a stripped gt3rs. After that we're just paying for unnecessary luxury or personalization options. Imagine loading up the gts with performance options, I'll bet that the price tag is close to the base price of the gt3.
What the heck was the sport classic anyway? That paint job must have cost $100k

seems like the ultimate "S" 911 ... if you are in the market for an S you might as well get a GTS ... depending on price ...
I suppose some GT3 drivers might downgrade ...

Is there an AWD version of the GTS?
ps. first mod: take off the "GTS" and show some respect for history.
pps. Excellent Ken Block vid "related" to an Autoweek link on the Carrera GTS ...

... it gets a little weak at the end ... makes you think "that would get old" and then he wrecks his wheels ... that's just plain stupid ... but a helluva toy car and he's developed some impressive skills at throwing it around ... in the faster sections (without the pirouettes) it would be interesting to have someone drive the same elements of the course for speed instead of this spectator sport of rally-drifting ... I imagine the same car driven for speed would distance itself ahead of the wild ride sliding approach ...
