Ride stiffness between 997 Gen1 Turbo and 997 GTS

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to move up from a my 997 Gen1 CS2, to either 997 gen1 Turbo or 997 GTS. I prefer a firmer ride. Can anyone let me know off hand, between the two, which ride is tighter(stiff)? in either, normal and sport setting.
Thanks!

The perception of stiffness varies depending on the individual. In addition, PASM was standard on the Turbo, not so on the GTS. My advice is to drive both and decide.

One thing is certain, the stock PASM settings are not optimal. To me it either feels too soft or too harsh. TPC has a DSC box that completely transforms the feel of the car. I have it in my Turbo and it manages the firmness of the dampeners so much better than stock. You might want to consider this upgrade, whichever car you decide to buy.
