OK, sport suspension can be specd at no extra cost.
How does the GTS differ from an S with wheels, leather, suspension, and PSE options (apart from the few extra hp)? Any lighter components?
Edit: Nevermind. I just read the press release. It's just an S with a few options. Meh.

Mooty - 'all water cooled porsche has steep depn curve, other than GT3.
buy a cayman and forget dep'n. you drank a bottle of fine wine,. it's gone. no more. money is not there anymore. but the experience stays with you. well unless you are too hammered.'
I am still laughing!! Perfect way to context the purchase. The Cayman GTS is interesting for a DD. One more question, will dealers try to stay closer to sticker on a GTS? IMHO, numbers close to stickers apply to only a couple of situations, 1) cars that dont depreciate quickly, like a GT3RS and there are others, and 2) impatient buyers. Most all mass produced (like a the current Corvette Z51) will be heavily discounted once the factory catches up. Just have to wait.

And they will still forget to make your coffee
i have been tempted on a few occasions!
you don't want our women, our women are like 991 gt3, look the part but catch fire too, you get burnt.. haven't found better con-rod bolts yet.
get on our realestate sites.. you'll find your second reason!
I like this ^^ but you know you gotta order that second bottle!

I have 2 turbo cars and 1 NA car. I much prefer the feel and response of the NA car.

NA FTW!!!
I have 2NA and 1Turbo.
I'll take Turbos when they'll have a very small(light) electric motor used only to make lag extinct,just like in the P1. They can also use the electric motor power up some of the conveniences in the car.

Well, "free" is somewhat of a stretch and the +15hp is ridiculous. SS is a $1200 option on a $10k+ cheaper S and on a $20k+ cheaper base. In the right hands (), my old 987S with standard suspension could more than keep up with a bunch of GT3s, too, but that's irrelevant.
