There's only one thing I don't like about the GTS, and it's the fact that the vast majority of them came with center-lock wheels (which should never be on a street car, imho) vs. the optional 5-lug. I looked at one GTS that had the unicorn 5-lug wheels, but it was a black PDK car and I really wanted a non-black manual for my first 911. Ended up with a 2011 C2S, purchased from the 75-year-old original owner who only drove it around 3K miles per year. He only lives an hour away from me, so we've since become good friends.

Like others have suggested, a 997TT seems like a great (ahem) compromise if you can't scratch the GTS itch. That's the direction I'd go, and I'd even consider a PDK because redline comes up so fast in each gear in a manual. I'd also definitely want to do an exhaust mod on the TT, just because the turbos tend to mask some of that beautiful flat-6 music. And make mine a 997.2TT, since I really like the newer head-unit vs. the one with the integrated cellphone keypad and lack of Aux/iPod in the 997.1.

Good luck on the search!

Wow - perfect car! And no stupid center lock wheels!
Since it started out in the US, how easy would it be to get back here?

I'm not sure of the process of bringing it back to the US but I think it should be fairly simply and easy.

''center locks'' is a no-no
