Ahh, sorry, got it. Good to know that, I would've thought throttle steering would become less relevant with rws. In that case, I think I would be compelled to add this if ordering new but I would probably be fine without it if buying used, for example.

Guys you are missing out on it if you don't include RWS. Its not just for track cars the driving dynamics are different even as a daily. Having driven a new C2S cab for the last 3 months coming from a RWS car I'm willing to take the hit on depreciation to get it back and custom order a new GTS.

It really changes the car day to day..

and NO it feels nothing like the BMW RWS back in the day. don't know why but I had one and nothing like it. There and the old prelude you couldn't tell the difference

Hi Abe. Do you happen to have the full http links to the last few videos you posted? I have clicked on the last 3 videos you posted and none of them worked for me (got an error message). Not sure if its just my computer. If I could cut and paste the URL into my browser I suspect this would work....if you still have them....Thanks for posting btw!

Agreed. But anyone care to decipher what the writer meant by "less sound deadening?"

'You also get a little less sound deadening for a bit of weight savings and to give your ears a good time.'

In a few of the reviews I have read they have mentioned that Porsche removed some of the soundproofing/sound-deadening material to make the exhaust sound louder. I also read that Porsche has altered the sound itself on the new GTS (in addition to the sound deadening change). It has been difficult to find information on the GTS sport exhaust to know if it is the same as the non-GTS 991.2 PSE or a completely new system.
