Default Carrera GTS vs Carrera 4 GTS

So I was wondering what thoughts any of you have on the Carrera GTS vs Carrera 4 GTS? I had a GTS drive past me the other week and the exhaust sounds was so good and it looked great. Seems nicely balanced too.

I went to a dealer today and all they had on the ground are cabrio GTS with PDK. I am a stick guy and I prefer a coupe. They did not have a Carrera 4 GTS yet.

Thanks

doubt there will be one

the GTS is the only wide body RWD that I am aware of. It's kind of a culmination of 997's best "street parts"

I know where a blk coupe is, nice options including LSD

The GTS is a Carrera 4S sans FWD and a powerkit.

The 4 GTS is a Carrera 4S with a powerkit.

Carrera 4 GTS defeats the whole purpose of the GTS series.

The 'purpose' is to sell more 911s to more people. AWD has a large fan base and Porsche AG knows it. They understand their market niche very well.

Especially if you live in the great white north and want a daily driver. dave
