I was fortunate enough to get a no-ADM allocation in August '22, and the new ride landed here last week. Only 300 miles into the break-in so far, but am infatuated with the vast improvements over my trusty 981S - which was a stalwart for 9+ years.
Manual, GT Silver over black leather/alcantara GTS interior with Chalk stitching, extended leather everywhere, buckets, Burmester, dynamic lights (but not LEDs, alas, unavailable), aluminum shift ****, etc. Though the gearing is obviously the same, the significant bump in low-end torque makes it less of an issue, and the dynamic engine mounts & PTV make the car even more nimble in tight corners than its esteemed predecessor. It feels like a more substantial car (though I understand it's only about 70 pounds heavier) yet hasn't lost that innate playfulness - and of course that unique mid-engine sensation of pivoting around the middle through corners - while providing a notably superior ride. Happy camper.
I just made the same move from a 2013 Boxster S to a Boxster GTS 4.0 and I have the same reactions. I was concerned that it would feel like I bought the same car again, but the improvements are dramatic.
Congrats, from one Happy Camper to another (my allocation for CGTS 4.0 was confirmed just yesterday, also GT Silver with wheels in Silver, but with Black/Bordeaux interior).
Loving the clear side markers - will be my first mod.
Wishing you all the best for many happy miles and smiles!
Cheers, Martin
