Just goes to show that we never grow up, we just play with more expensive toys as we get older!

A mature version of the school radio controlled car club!

How are you finding the GTS? What tyres did the OPC eventually put on? I am due a new set soon so interested to hear your thoughts.
Took delivery on Friday and loving it. Only driven it on motorways so far but first impressions compared to the GT4 are that it feels just as focused in Sport mode and the sound / howl from the engine in the cabin is something else making it feel I would say slightly more exotic than the Cayman.

Really nice pops on overrun and just as loud as the GT4. Its certainly quick with the needle smashing through 5k revs unlike the GT4 that used to hesitate in that area for a few hundred revs over 5k slightly due to the detuned engine and throttle bodies.
The howling engine really adds an extra layer to the experience for me.

Happy so far...

Glad to hear you are enjoying the GTS and yes the howl is addictive!

Subtle differences there with the ducktail, painted side skirts plus different mirrors.

The wheels don't stand out at all in pictures but in the flesh the black looks superb!

Yes, the wheels don't photograph too well but look superb as you say in the flesh contrasting against the silver. I've changed the mirrors to sport design ones now.

Both looking great chaps. GT silver is superb in the flesh. Shows the wide body curves really well

Is that because we've got the best colour combo? 😀

That looks great!! Still haven't decided whether to ppf mine or or not.... quick question, if you have the full car wrapped what would happen with the GTS door stickers if you removed the ppf? I presume you would need to order new ones as they would get pulled off with the film? You emailed the details of the guys you were going to use, glad you are pleased with the job. Was it suntek in the end?
