4 weeks into ownership, and I wish I'd have waited. :frustrated:
While the Turbo is a very nice place to spend time, and does all the boring stuff very well, it doesn't feel as agile or as planted as my previous GTS. Which is understandable I guess, but I didn't think the difference would be so noticeable.
When you floor it, and the Turbos kick in, it certainly shifts. But like all Turbo variants, it's a bit of a sledgehammer. I prefer going round corners quickly, rather than in a straight line, and if the new GTS is anything like the old one, it will be better for that.
Also, the new Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) that come as standard on the Turbo, but are an option on the GTS, are far too grabby for me when driving normally. To the point where they can be really annoying. I'd go back to ordinary steels in an instant if I could.
So, I'm considering chopping in the Turbo and ordering a GTS.
