Ruddy good car the new GTS. Not as far behind the GT3 than the 997 was.
Nice review here - http://www.9tro.com/features/new-cars/porsche-991-...
"When I drove the 997 Carrera GTS in 2010, I have to confess that I was rather underwhelmed. While it felt a bit crisper all round than a normal Carrera, the improvements to the chassis, drivetrain feel and response were not something to write home about. Close, but no cigar." I agree 100% with this.
"Four years on and the 991 Carrera GTS had me grinning from ear to ear after just a few corners on the twisty canyon road between Pasadena and the Willow Springs Raceway where I was heading to conduct the high speed testing. At that point, I instinctively knew that the new Carrera GTS was the real deal"
If i don't gel with the GT4 then a 991GTS is on the radar.

It was my PEC day on Friday with the 991 GT3 . Unfortunately it had some issues after 30 mins of use so moved across to a 997 GT3 ( which I've also owed in the past ) but then to a 991 GTS . Surprisingly I instantly gelled with the GTS , and had as much fun in that as the 991 GT3 . I will be keeping an eye out for one in the future .
Having owned both I would say the GTS is a far better road car owning experience than the GT3. Kids in the back and a quiet GT, kids out the car press Sport Plus it is an amazing driving experience. I found you had to be ballistic in the GT3 to get the same level of enjoyment I can get in the GTS at reasonable speeds. Miles better than a normal 2S, a lot of tweaking gone into the car me thinks.

I've never driven a GT3 so can't compare- but i love every minute driving my GTS..... It's not a manual but I have no regrets opting for the PDK/paddle shift- it drives sweet as a nut.
Beautiful car. I've got a GTS coupe about to land in GT Silver, manual, PCCB, sports PASM and buckets.
