Do you think performance gain is noticeable between GTS and S?

Many road test has yielded same figures.

All the reviews I've read said the mid-range improvement is noticeable...

i think many people who posted here saying why am i thinking this would be a refined GT3 ... its quite apparent they have not read any GTS reviews ...

the GT3 or RS for that matter is not a practical car at all ... speed humps, slight inclines ... and my reason for a GTS ... with the RS i had, ud feel every km in the car (loved this), and i loved that thrill and show the car gave for the senses ... and i think with the GTS you dont realise how quick you going until you look at that speedo ... i think with just a mere km's (and someone pointed that out), i have been harsh on the car ... im gonna give this baby some time ... oh and pics ill post when i have decent ones ... got a bunch of crappy ones

Hope you get used to car mate. Keep an open mind. I've been where you are albeit with a C4S PDK that I bought. Unfortunately for my wallet, but good for my soul, the only alternative I had was to sell it for a GT3.

Wishing you well.

I purchased a 6 speed GTS couple last week, I like the car. That being said, I consider it a different tool than a GT3.

Not directed at the OP, but I don't get the hate for the GTS. It's basically a souped-up, widebody Carrera S with all the good stuff (centerlocks, rear seat delete, etc.). How is that a bad thing? If I didn't already have my C4S, the GTS would certainly be on my radar. For most folks (including myself if I'm being honest), the GTS is a much more useful real-world proposition than the GT3. That said, I have not always made the most useful decisions when it comes to cars...

Would love to see some pics! i do agree with the consensus here that this car should be seen as an ultimate carrera rather than a gt3 lite.
