Re: Habemus... 991 GTS
@Carlos: Congratulations!
This model is the End of an Era for the 911 with its N/A engine and it will be sought after in the pre-owned market in the years to come.
The GTS feels much better planted and stable at very high speeds compared to your previous car. When you do a route you know very well, I'd like to hear from you about such comparison.
Enjoy in excellent health 
P.S. As to the susceptibility of the red colour to fading that was mentioned above, don't worry about the effect of sunlight on a Porsche. My friend has a red early 997 and my mother's neighbour an even older red 996 Turbo. Both are still immaculate and shiny in spite of their daily exposure to the strong Mediterranean sunlight.

Re: Habemus... 991 GTS
WAY:I like this very much! Aside from GT4, this is the only other affordable Porsche that interest me right now. Congrats Carlos!

Looking forward to your later report and how you like / adapt the PDK after 10'000 km

Re: Habemus... 991 GTS
Carlos from Spain:......Just came back from a short drive on a mountain road, was with the window down playing like a kid with the PDK downshifts and changes in combination with the GTS exhaust sound, what a combination!
.... so much so that don't know if it was the novelty and it will wear off in time or not.......

Trust me Carlos - you won't, I certainly haven't tired of the wonderful sounds of our Boxster GTS and I'm sure the Carrera GTS is as good if not even better!

Re: Habemus... 991 GTS
Thanks guys!
The color combo does look amazing, the more I look at it the more I like it, only downside is that it kind of draws more attention because of it 
@Reginos, thanks for that reasuring comment on the red color fading.
@Fritz, you bet I will!

Carlos from Spain:Thanks guys!!
Relieved I didn't get the S-PASM-20mm, I already scrapped the front lip on the ramp at my summer home were I am now, its the under part of the lateral of front lip but its painted and left a mark. The problem is the sportdesign from bumper the GTS has, it goes down mch lower than the regular CarreraS bumper.
