Congrats guys.. good looking cars there. I think the GTS is a brilliant all round car.

The colour was a no-brainer for me. Why do so many people order silver and black 911's? That's all you see in most showrooms.
Fantastic choice. I thought about this for my RS before settling on Maritime (via Riviera) Blue.

I love these bright colours on Porsches.

Do we think Gts will hold values due to last naturally aspirated and having some decent sound? Appreciate everyone asks this about what they have but if you look back to legacy 993 - 996 you may have a point

I think their value will hold firm and certainly surpass 991.2 levels quite quickly.

991.2 S did nothing for me which is why I bought a GTS.

True yes Glad you love it! But I couldn't live with your colour as every time I look at it all I can think of is chewing gum for some reason wobble

I'd happily take a mexico blue or a bright yellow though. Viper green is another no no for me though

Completely agree. I could have picked up a decent 991.2 for what I paid for the GTS but that engine does nothing for me. The sound of the engine in the GTS is stunning. Even from 3k revs and upwards.

I used to be all about Riviera, then I moved to Viper, but now I'm fully converted to Mint Green. It's just totally stunning to my eyes and even better I'm unlikely to ever see another!

So what are the must haves on a GtS ? Is the Pdk better to have than the manual not a fan of the 7speed box)
I notice prices have firmed up recently with the arrival of the 991.2
Anyone done a comparison of gt4/ spyder vs 991 Gts? The 991gts along with the gt4 are the only 2 new porsche cars I have considered since the departure of the 9*7.2 models hence an interest in this post

Absolutely love mine. I had intended having PPF applied before driving the 200 miles home but then a change of plan meant I had to rethink. It then became apparent that once home there were no recommended companies close by. I'd have to drive another 100 miles and chance stone chips before getting it done. So, no film for me.

Quite rare on the GTS but bucket seats were a must for me together with PASM (20mm lower suspension). The LED headlights, glass roof and ducktail etc were nice to have.

No idea why some people un-tick the centre lock wheels, they make the car. And they're a breeze to remove once you have the right tool (a bloody big torque wrench!).










That's a ballsy colour choice!
that's a great colour choice big thumbs up from me

I love this car, so so nice......

If I hadn't bought the gt3 then I would have bought Swindons 4 GTS, in fact, it almost swayed me....... I was lovely.

looks like mines heading back into the dealer network as I have the opportunity for a well priced GT3 that I can't seem to shift from my mind!

PM me for details if you want a cheap 65reg 991 GTS Agate Grey 5k miles...

Feels like a low price when compared to 997 Gts and other 991 cars.
Remind me of next car? Gt3?
