How would you spec your 992 GTS?

The privacy glass isn't actually as dark in reality, unless there is no direct sunlight. I have it on mine and had concerns it may have looked too dark, but am happy with it now. I wanted it so people can't see into the car, whether thats because I have a young child in there, or because I have shopping/golf clubs on the back seating area.
For those that think its too dark you can get clear glass and have it retrospectively tinted if you wanted to. Each to thier own.
If someone was actively looking into cars, surely they'd see the clubs from the other windows? I don't think privacy glass is a deterrent from theft. For those that think its too dark you can get clear glass and have it retrospectively tinted if you wanted to. Each to thier own.
Who is leaving a young child in a car unattended, nobody. I am not sure your scenarios are valid. But I agree with retrospectively getting them tinted, if one must, as then it can be done more universally - as it stands, just that rear glass makes it look like the love child of a 911 and a transit van.
Asked the dealer for an update on mine yesterday - build completion is expected on 13th Jan and he's said it should be around 3 weeks from then to arrive at the dealer.
So, looking like early Feb delivery.
How does that align with others experiences of build completion to dealer delivery?

Within 2 weeks for me to get to the dealer once it docked at grimsby,So, looking like early Feb delivery.

It’s worth bearing in mind that it can take a week or two for the car to get to Emden and then another couple of weeks to get on the ship to the UK…. With my car even though it got to Emden quite quickly it was still missing some part as were other 992s so it took almost 6 weeks to even get on a ship whilst the parts were fitted at Emden….. Suggest you wait to know it’s got on a boat before the two weeks to the dealer starts…
Ordered last week Carrera 4 GTS Cab - eta up to 18 months. Added quite a few non essential options, but in for a penny and all that. Deleted the -10mm as given my average driving skills I won't notice the handling difference, but the ride improvement and extra height will be better. No dramas with the wait, it will probably add to the ownership, although I will take a cancelled slot with my spec if it comes up as a result of world factors biting into someone's plans. Deleted factory PPF and will get OPC to arrange with local detailer for front end PPF.
Hi,

I called them and asked but i’m from Switzerland so i’m mot sure they would send me the video.
Thanks 😀

992 GTS a weapon!

992 GTS Cab RWD does the 1/4 mile in 11.3 secs with the roof down and in the winter. I’d love to see what a lighter Coupe would have done.
992 GT3 does the 1/4 mile in 11.4 secs in better weather conditions. Which is lighter and has supposedly more power!
There was a lot going against the 992 GTS Cab here, but it’s still quicker than the 992 GT3 in a straight line and in the real world.
Is why I strongly feel Porsche under quote the figures on the 992 GTS. It feels more like 520bhp from my bum dyno in mine.
Just love the all round capability of the 992 GTS and so pleased with my choice, nothing else I wanted

No doubt the gts performance is monstrous but there are other factors why a gt3 will always feel more special and be more desirable .

GTS is definitely in the sweet spot. One can argue road vs track, but really, how often do you get on the track, while we can drive almost every day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZs9ZfOu2b8&t=...

Like I said, would love to see what a lighter 992 GTS Coupe could have achieved here.

I watched that this morning, even with a bad start , the GTS pull in the mid range, definately not <500bhp !
Mind you , the cold weather will always favour the turbo's ...

Agree, the way it reeled the others in even after a bad start was very impressive. I can confirm it pulls hard from 2k rpm all the way to the redline, never feels it’s running out of puff. No lag either.

I agree with you. For a specific track tool then GT3 is the one to have. But as an all rounder, GTS is the sweet spot for sure. Can do the odd track days and still hold its own as well as Euro tours. Gassing Station | 911/Carrera GT | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
