I guess no one knows for sure. The 997 GTS was not available until about the last 1.5 years of 997 production. I have one and it is a fantastic car. I am sure the 991 GTS, if made, will be great also.

You sure that the GTS will still have M7?

No M7 for 991 Turbos or GT3.. Wouldn't surprise me if they did same thing with GTS.. (Like it or not)..

I'm not sure at all, actually have no idea whatsoever

I suppose it's hopeful thinking on my part

I've been rethinking some of my previous preferences such as sport seats and carbon ceramic brakes, and here is my likely build reflecting those changes:

http://www.porsche-code.com/PF2UK4Q3

To add factory center-lock wheels to this car would it be a matter of replacing the standard C2 hubs with GT3 (or Turbo/Turbo S) hubs? The GT3 hubs linked below are for the 997 GT3, but if I could get 991 GT3/Turbo/Turbo S hubs would that be all I need to do?

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product//SKUFGT3FWH.html

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product//SKUGT3RWH.html

Would/could a Porsche dealer perhaps be able to convince the factory to build and deliver a C2 with center lock wheels (and obviously the appropriate hubs)?

Any factory-installed lift kit options possible for a C2 with AeroKit Cup?

Thank you for your patience and for your help!
