if the new base includes PASM and the descriptions states it sits 10 mm lower, would that not mean that the new base sits at the same suspension level as a Carrera S?

 

PASM is standard on both cars but there is a "sport" PASM option which only comes on the S . It's an extra 10 mm lower .

PS . The standard PASM is fine . You won;t scrape the lip as easily and even the base car handles incredibly !!

 

+1.
As it was with the 997.2, the 991.2 really closed the gap between the base and S model. IMHO the only reasonable difference is the rear steering, which is optional. Shame it isn't standard on the GTS as well.
