Thanks for the comparison. Not trying to be negative but a 981 GTS to 718 GTS would be more apples to apples.

Everybody is different. After owning a new 987 base 5 speed and a new 987 S 6 speed, the S was worth the difference. Base was fun, my first pcar, but not enough for me.

The long MT gearing is an issue, PDK cars with shorter gearing are faster. Those with their heads in the sand are in denial.

My 981 Boxster GTS 3.4 is louder (due to the sound symposer) and higher pitched (smaller bores) than a 981 Spyder 3.8. My 981 GTS has Fabspeed race headers / protune. It's loud, fast, and I love...

Growing up on Suzuki GS1100E, GS1150E, GS1150ESE, Honda Hurricane 1000, and a Yamaha V-Max, I embarrassed a lot of hot shot Pcar wannabe drag racers. In fact, I never, ever lost a drag race against...

If the MT were faster, I'd drive an MT. It's not. I don't. Also prefer PASM over X73 and 18 ways over LWB. Get what you want, not what someone else wants.

Have power steering plus on my 2015 BGTS that I ordered. Not necessary IMO, just software that lessens turning force required at low speed. Wouldn't pay for it again.

Spyder is supposed to be a fun car … wouldn't own a boring primer colored chalk car if the color was free. Silver wheels do not look good with it ... platinum is better but still yuck. YMMV
