Maybe last new P-Car for me… New ‘16 991.1 GTS

2016 991.1 911 GTSWhite
7 Speed Manual Transmission
PASM Sport Suspension
Aerokit Cup
LED Headlights in Black PDLS
etc........................................

After driving a 2014 991.1 C2S 7MT for 19 months and 26K very enjoyable miles, I knew I would have to have a 911 in my life for as long as I live. Suspecting that the 991.1 GTS might be the last NA 911 with a manual transmission made it even more desirable for me, so here it is after a five month waiting period from reserving the production slot to cut off ordering date to actual car production and final delivery.


I prefer NA/high rpm engines and I think is quite sad that they are going away. I am adding this NA 3.8 liter H6 to my garage that includes a NA 2.0 liter I4 from my ’03 AP1 S2000 and a NA 4.0 liter V8 from my ’12 E92 M3. To me it is all about the senses the more connection and sound the better.


I only had the car for a few days but the car definitely looks good, especially the wider rear stance and all the black GTS accents which make a great contrast with the white color of the car.


First driving impressions after 400 miles of driving, the car feels as an overall tighter package than the C2S and the manual transmission definitely feels smoother. This manual transmission is as good as it gets along with the S2K’s. The clutch does feel shorter which it is great for quick shifting. The engine does feel like it revs more freely. It also feels quicker once the rpms get going. It seems that exhaust sound is bit louder on the downshift than on the C2S with PSE, it is more noticeable on the auto-blip while down shifting.

That’s all for now…Cheers…This is a Keeper

Beautiful, congrats. I like the color.

Who put the rear GTS badge on? I know it does not come like that.

Congratulations. You can't beat a white GTS, but I will admit, I am partial to them since I have one.

great looking car and very smart buying decision with the 991 NA.

not to hard a choice when you see the 991.2 and its dual function shop vac/bumperettes
