I’m curious why you went with the GTS this time around. In my experience, typically people tend to go in one direction up the Porsche “ladder”. Carrera——>Turbo or GT car as opposed to the other way around.
i have had 5 of them... 2003, 2007 (the 3 and 7 were not S), 2011, 2014, and 2016.

I went with the GTS because I got an ADM of less than half what the market was asking at the time while Turbo S's (992) back in May were literally around 70-90k over msrp and I knew that market would die. And yes MMR that was once high 200's is now in the low 200s. My GTS buy was on a whim, got a call Monday and took it Wednesday.

I have had a 2018 GTS as well and always found that car to be meaningful 911 but with a very fair price point. Add in the stupidity of the Porsche market and it was an ez buy.

Obviously you know the Turbo S and non S are faster but thats a given. The M Engineering tune with data logging a custom file has made things more interesting as the GTS weighs less. Its probably a 129-130 trap car now and thats fine since I have a faster car than the Turbo S anyways. But sadly I still yearn for the Turbo S and I wont lie- Im pricing a few now including a nice vert...
