I have deposits on two different 911's, while I try to figure out which one to buy, a GTS & 4S
with price not a being a deciding factor;

both have PDK (requirement)
both have adaptive seats (requirement)
both have the wider rear profile (not a requirement, making a S a possibility, just didn't find one with my requirements)
both have the same inter/exterior colors, silver/Black (requirement)
GTS has leather/alcantara
4S has full leather
both have about 3,000 miles on them (low milage is requirement)
both have original warranties left
both have the same options except the GTS has Sports Exhaust (not requirement)
not a track car (in which case would I really notice the difference between 408hp and 385hp
not a daily driver("garage ornament" as my wife refers to my 2005 S with less than 12K miles)
no plans for any mods of any kind

So far my single negative factor on the GTS may be the center locks which may be annoying to deal with compared to lug bolts. I know some of you are probably saying, "are you kidding me?"

The single negative factor on the 4S is the deflector on the rear deck lid, just looks out of place and unnecessary which I'm sure warrants another "are you kidding me?"

Having popped in and out of these forums over the past year, I know I'm going to get some strong opinions which provide me with some insight as to what I may be over looking.

 

i say gts, it just looks better. S and 4S is everywhere...

if you didn't need PDK, i'd say GT3. since you do need PDK, there is nothing better than gts.

 

I myself like the feel of the rear wheel drive over the all wheel drive. Center locks may not be as simple as standard lugs, however they rather easy once you have the tools. The main thing, which one YOU like the best, both are great cars.

 

Agreed that the GTS overall looks better, though I think you'd have to get the 4 GTS to have the wider fenders like the 4S

 

I love the relative exclusiveness of the GTS and would like to own one, but drive a 4s spiritadly in the wet, on loose leaf litter on rough roads and its hard to imagine that there is a faster, more sure footed and capable point to point car out there..... it is a very capable motor car. Why not look for a GTS 4s??

 

GTS all the way. You don't likely need the AWD in Arizona, and the centerlock isn't a problem for you if you consider 12k miles in 7 years means you won't have to change tires or brakes for many years to come. Not much of an inconvenience.

 

I like my "reflector"

 

Me too...

 

i prefer the gts front bumper but if the c4s you're purchasing has the aero kit, that would be a non issue.

 

Would go with GTS in your shoes, but it all depends on your personal views on it!

 

No, not correct. The GTS, whether the 2 or 4, has the wide rear end. That is one of the big pluses for the GTS. You get the wide rear end of a all wheel drive car, but the driving advantages of the rear wheel drive model.

I have a GTS and love it. If I were the OP, I would get the GTS, unless you don't like the Alcantara. I don't like the stuff, but my car has full leather, so not an issue for me.

 

GTS
I personally do not like the rear deflector, but to each his own

GTS is my choice

 

GTS all the way

 

GTS all the way.

 

buddy, go find a GTS without the CL.

why would u limit yourself to two cars with options u don't want ??

don't settle.
