991 GTS Must haves
Discussion
991 prices seem a bit all over the shop at the moment. There's a 991 50th Edition up for under £90k in the classifieds from a trade seller which looks very good value if it's real. You'd certainly rather have a 991.1 GTS for £90k rather than one of the myriad 991.2 Carrera S's that OPC's have up for well over £100k! You are certifiable if you buy the latter.

+1Some of the second hand 991's are priced competing against MP4-12Cs. I know which i'd buy...
in all the advert was live for no more than 4hrs before it was sold.
It seemed to be causing a headache for OPC's as the only genuine interest I had on the car was 3 phonecall's from Porsche group buyers - understandably since i'm sure they need to protect their asset's that are retailing for 95k on the forecourt.

Interesting. Good work.It seemed to be causing a headache for OPC's as the only genuine interest I had on the car was 3 phonecall's from Porsche group buyers - understandably since i'm sure they need to protect their asset's that are retailing for 95k on the forecourt.
Joined the GTS club for a little while . I know it's the heavy one with the wrong gearbox , and about as far away from the GT4 I'm coming out of after 10 months and 4000m . But it looks pretty cool IMO and it'll be a change till the next round of GT3's start to come out ...... Can't be many Mexico Blue Targa's out there .

Next year it's all about the 992 or whatever they call it. In this climate with that dull sound surely it's a hold and wait play more than ever
I don't see a 992 in 2017. I'd guess that post 991.2 GT3 introduction there'd be at least 18 months before a 992 appears. But who knows?! 
If this video is representative of what the 991.2 GTS will sound like the ultimate GTS "must have" is the Gen 1 NA engine!

Nice idea. Unfortunately it wasn't my choice to make, it was specified by Porsche Silverstone - I think they did a pretty good job 
I bought it with delivery miles.
Aha then well done the OPC not you I bought it with delivery miles.
I always notice the OPC put the bright cars to be front of the window rather than black / grey / silver everyone buys

Looks great! I did a similar thing, GT4 to a GTS coupe. Not planned, just saw the car and had to have it - absolutely no regrets!

Good to hear . Had my fun in the GT4 , great car but lifes short and to many cars to try ! ]
Yours is stunning spec . Exactly what I would have if had the choice . Mexico is my 2nd choice and always fancied a Targa so 2 birds with one stone .

Thanks. I love the car partially for the colour and partially for the spec. It's also a great drive 
A Mexico GTS Targa is also a pretty special thing. Great looking car.
I'd love a 991.2 GT2 ideally although I'd happily settle for a GT3 (I'll be a very lucky man to get either!!). Bought a GT2 plate a couple of weeks ago in speculation (GT66 TWO).

I like a Black GTS.....mines Targa stylee though I had most options except PDK & PCCBs and I had full extended leather "no Alcantara in here" oh and a set of 50th Anniversary wheels all in all it cost.....a very lot...LOL
I am seriously contemplating a Targa, sold my 991S end of last year and I'm itching again. I've heard some reports about wind noise/buffeting and the extra weight/softer settings diluting the driving experience so would appreciate your thoughts. I am past the stage in life where I won't compromise on performance, this would be my 8th 911 and I can live with something a little softer. Out of interest did you have to twist arms to spec those wheels?Edited by GT3-RS on Tuesday 22 March 08:37
Just picked mine up today . Best looking porsche I've owned . Feels special / different . Seems to get a great reception . Dynamically it's not the GT4 I've just come out of , but it's still a special car just in a different way . Feels like it's going to be a perfect road trip car vs GT4 perfect track car .
Looking forward to the next 5/6 months .
