Excellent video/comparison. The GTS is the Goldilocks of the 992 platform. It’s the best bang for your buck. The appeal of the GTS is the Turbo underpinnings/chassis, the massive/upgraded Turbo brakes, upgraded boost, and the number one reason to buy this over the Turbo is the magnificent manual transmission. What’s not to like? Cheers/B

First and foremost, the GTS is a sham: the same engine as in the S only a higher turbocharger, lowering and twice as hard damper settings. The real hot spot is the Carrera T - which can also be seen in the used car prices.

Great work👌 regarding the ride on the GTS I swapped the tyres from Bridgestone Potenza to Michelin Pilot sport 4S and found the ride a lot more compliant on my Carrera 4S 🤷‍♂️

@RB-xv4si 4 месяца назад

I hear a lot of people saying the 4Ss are a quieter than the Potenzas. If my GTS arrives in a few months with Potenzas, I’ll definitely be swapping for the 4Ss when they wear out. I’m also not going for the lightweight package, as that removes some sound insulation.

@ashman0071 2 года назад

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but helper springs are under complete compression during almost all road driving - they are only installed to keep the main spring seated firmly against its' lower perch when the suspension is in almost full droop - so unless you plan on catching air on your way to dropping your kids off at school, helper springs do nothing for ride comfort. Helper springs might allow the suspension engineers to use a shorter and thus lighter main spring that also might have a lower spring rate - but the spring rate is much more often than not higher, not lower.........

@ih7177 2 года назад

As nice as the GTS is, I don’t need silly centerlock wheels on a street car or a bone jarringly harsh suspension. If they offered the base Carrera with a manual it would be the easy choice. Plenty of power, widebody at a low price. Will they do a 992 Carrera T manual ?

Hi Lee, just rewatched this after 6 months. Had a few people mention that they were thinking of a GTS given that they can't get a 3. Just wanted to say, how bloody good this review is. It is knowledgeable, no waffle, accurate, concise, informative, etc. Thank You. I have a 992GT3 and 34years of Porsche experience. Having had a turbo I won't get another, so it was a GT3 for me. Oh, and that engine is worth every penny. as a side note, you remind me of myself 30years ago, I knew everything about aircooled 911s. RU-vid didn't exist then. haha Well done to you!

im not sure the option of deleting the GTS specific PASM removes the helper springs, I think it just raises it back to the 10mm of the standard PASM suspension like an S.

Gts with manual gearbox makes is the best combination between c2S and turbo as it agglomérâtes the best of both worlds not only sharpening an S.

@nigel.w 2 года назад

But the Turbo has the quietest cabin and a more compliant ride. The GTS's handling characteristics are closer to the GT3 than any other 992. And its engine is definitely S+, not Turbo light. You can talk about the supposed Turbo chassis, but while it has the stopping power of a Turbo, it doesn't ride like one. It's a GT light, because its handling and stripped out characteristics/setup are a half-way house between Carrera S and GT3, not a half-way house between Carrera S and Turbo. It's a track-oriented version of the S, and therefore a track version of a road car. It's much less of a grand touring car than a Carrera or a Turbo. If you want Turbo light with a manual gearbox, you need to stump up the cash for a Sport Classic.

Super job with the comparison! As always, short and sweet. This has been very informative for me as I'm getting ready to order 992. Based on your observations I'm heavily leaning towards simpler C2S with manual, 4 way sport seats, full leather, metal roof and ceramics in Python Green. Cheers!

But have the 911 smaller, lighter, louder, and overall more raw experience. I guess the GT3 touring in the 6MT fits that bill to a certain extent, but so bloody expensive.

Porsche underestimated the desire for the feel of shorter wheelbase (thus the 4 wheel steer) and analogue feel (electric steer recalibration and updates to manual transmission) of the 997 car.

C2S 11 :) It epitomizes the "911 driving experience". Does what a 911 SHOULD without sacrificing. GTS--more fetures, marginally better performance (which i don't think you'd notice in day to day driving...more midrange? shrug)...very marginal...unless you had a c2s to compare you wouldn't notice)...and it's LOUD inside....something most wouldn't want if planning to drive it almost daily. or regulary. ... I think a lot of new and 911 owners who've owned many have strayed away from "what a 911 experience SHOULD be"....many trying to get more traction...opting for the 4WD "4" models or the Turbo S. Part of the fun of owning a 911 is knowing it's "tail heavy"....so you should actually want the tail-end to swing out a little in spirited cornering....making RWD 911's the way to go....you DON'T want "max trcation possible"...go buy a 4WD SUV!! :) Best 911? IMHO the GT3 Trouring---for everyday driving fun...welll, maybe not everyday...maybe weekend fun :) it is kind of noisy---"good noise"...

I though the turbo now has 10piston front brakes.

@MacKac89 2 года назад

Turbo S, which comes with ceramic. GTS has steel brakes from the regular Turbo.

@RobinSingh-lf3iq 2 года назад

Nice video, wish it was a bit longer though. Was the Carrera s also in the 10 mm lowered sports PASM spec? Do we need to spec the GTS with a Front axle lift? Or is there enough clearance?

@9WERKSTV 2 года назад

Thanks, and sorry it wasn't longer. I didn't have a great deal of time with each car unfortunately. I don't personally think there's a need for front axle lift on a GTS, it's only necessary for GT cars with the much deeper front lip.

@davidkn 2 года назад

that really depends on where you live! I have it on my 991.2 GTS as I go to places with steep carpark ramps and large speed bumps, so I have used it pretty much daily, and have ordered it on my 992 GTS

@lukas6346 2 года назад

Great video. Do you feel like the GTS feels more "raw" than the C2S?

@9WERKSTV 2 года назад

Thanks Lukas. Yes the GTS does feel more raw - I think this is part of the GTS DNA in any regard (ie not just 992 gen).

@ghowells5433 2 года назад

Great video review Lee, these are always super professional and real word tests of the cars. Personally for the 992 GTS money I would go for a second hand 991.2 gt3, but I’m a bit biased

@9WERKSTV 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! Yes a 991.2 GT3 looks like good value against these cars I have to say.

@phillsmith9255 2 года назад

The GTS has always been the model between C2S and the Turbo, it's never been positioned as a step between the C2S and GT3.

@gurpreetsarang8929 2 года назад

After some trepidation I went from a 911 to a 718 4 litre. It’s absolutely brilliant, far better than I anticipated. Was thinking of my next car, (as you do), but if the ride is crashy on the 911 GTS will stick with the 718. Test drove the 992 Carrera and found it lacked soul and engine noise. Btw the throttle response on the 718 is brill being naturally aspirated. Also ride is great but went with the 10mm drop as opposed to the 20mm.

@9WERKSTV 2 года назад

The 718 4-litres are special, I should really do a video on them. Glad you've found yours to be good fun. They are the only 4.0-litre Porsche you can get outside of a GT product!

@allodesousa 2 года назад

answer is: AEROKIT. Either S or GTS. you got yourself a babyGT3.

@bentleygucci Год назад

PUT THAT GTS IN SPORt or SPORT PLUS MODE FOR GODS SAKE! No one buying a manual GTS will drive it in normal mode.

@9WERKSTV Год назад

Loving the capitals, you really are passionate about Sport and Sport+! The car was in normal mode (ie quietest) to ensure you can hear me clearly on the mic. Thanks for the view.

@scottcowan6798 2 года назад

Glad you did this comparison.. had a 991.2 C2S in the past and currently run a 718 Spyder which I’ve just traded in.. for a 992 GTS arriving in February.. I hope… The ride of the GTS probably won’t be quite as hard as that of the 718 Spyder, so not too bothered, and the gear change won’t be hugely different either I suspect. The one question I have is.. is there noticeable increased turbo lag over the 992 C2S? Cheers!

@9WERKSTV 2 года назад

Nice with the incoming GTS! The turbocharged Carreras are so well executed, there's barely any discernible lag anyway, there's certainly no more apparent in the GTS over the C2S.

@scottcowan6798 2 года назад

Thanks for your reply! There used to be a slightly noticeable delay in the previous gen. Good to hear you felt no difference. Cheers!

5 LUG WHEELS...when you build a new GTS and select the 5 lug Spyder wheels, you CANNOT THEN CHOOSE ANY GLOSS BLACK ITEMS! This includes the BLACK TOP AERO WING, Front Fasia, Rear body, side skirts...none of that. The configurator will change your wheel selection back to centerlock.
