I have an 09 GTS and could not be happier. Previous owner had work done, and it definitely is not stock. Will pretty much beat anything but a GT3. 911 drivers usually look dumbfounded when I pass them at 130 MPH. Handles beautifully and sounds nice. All this fun and you can bring along the fam.
Yeah, as cool as they are, that's still wishful thinking. Work done on a normally aspirated GTS might move the power number from 405 to 450 but on a 5,000 lb vehicle that's still a 11 lbs / HP ratio. A water cooled 911 (997.1 M97 S car with 3.8L motor) puts out 355 HP and weights about 3,300 lbs so 9.3 lbs/HP and a modified 911 like mine or a Turbo is about 500 HP at around the same 3,300 lb weight or 6.6 lbs/HP. You're not blowing away or outhandling a 911 that has double the power to weight ratio you do. They might be wondering why a Cayenne is passing them at 130 MPH, but I assure you, they're not trying to compete and then losing.
Glad you love your GTS though - it's the best sounding of all the Cayennes.
My GTS does not handle the twisties like my 914-6 did, and not as fast as my 935 racer was, but it is fun when someone challenges me out in the country. It’s surely not a rally car either!
