Im having a blast with it... its an interesting segway from a normal 991.2 C2S and a GT3 because it puts up GT3 like numbers on the street and track but is a better daily, IMHO, because of the tq delivery.

I have had 5 Turbo or Turbo S cars from a 993 to a 991.1 and this car, while slower just feels more connected. Maybe because of the weight but its a brilliant daily driver with so much grip for a rwd system married with rear wheel steering. The chassis response along with the damper and spring combo just sucks up uneven roads much like my 991.1 Turbo S's and even my 991.1 GT3. Its right up with my old GT3 as the best launching RWD car. Porsche just does it right and even though they are priced heavily, to me, its worth it.

I have modded it, which probably adds to the fun factor, with high flow cats and a tune but its was great out of the box too. The exhaust is much better with HFC's even though the OEM PSE does a pretty good job on the 3.0 turbo engine. Its definitely a keeper for me right now and will probably exceed my allowable half life for cars. Also with the GTS's in a more limited supply the car will hold its value better (not that Ive ever bought a car for an monetary investment).

As shocking as the GT2RS is with this time, you gotta applaud a little 450 hp car like the GTS:
