Any love for the 997 GTS?

And with buckets?! I would say that is a very good price. shame on the plastic dash but that could be revised is one should care to. I'd say that is a score. Specifically Manual GTS's seem to be as sought after, if not more, than CR's it seems. Someone has reserved a stunner there and a fair price all things considered.
VCAR should really have a Cat P for cars with a plastic dash. They should be scrapped and not allowed back on the road.jason61c said:
I guess with Manual there's not much point?
Sport mode that comes with chrono backs off the PSM to allow some slip slide but still with a safety net plus sharpens up the throttle that helps with heel and toe. It’s worth it for those two reasons in my view. If I had a non chrono I’d add it back in (without the wart which adds nothing). c4sman said:

this is exactly what I did having got mine, I don't use it often, it takes a little time to adjust driving style to the throttle but I like itMC99 said:

I’m the opposite. I use it all the time unless in treacherous condition for exactly the reason of calibration. I.e I don’t want to have to adjust to sport mode when I decide to push on, so having it on all the time means I’m calibrated to the increased throttle response. It’s only if very cold/wet conditions that I’d want the extra PSM security, but I rarely drive the car in such conditions. c4sman said:

Funnily enough I tend to use my 7GTS more in winter, when it's a bit greasy. It's quite good fun.
Mines used most of the year too but never on snow/salt conditions. Just no need due to other cars available and it’s all relative as I’m struggling to hit 1500miles a year which is embarrassing and not about protecting value but lack of time.c4sman said:

This is where I am, 1500-2k a year, I enjoy it, I’m going to start using sport mode more now to see if I find the value like you doJackG60GTS said:
£88k is crazy money.
OK it's a manual coupe, but it's a 4wd GTS in a marmite colour which is trying to be a GT3.
Might as well choose a GT3 or a turbo.

Seems very fairly priced considering the rarity of a manual for starters let alone that colour (if that colour is one's thing). Try finding another like that, never.
I think I have seen that car for sale a couple of times. IIRC it was originally sold by a Scottish OPC.Louis Balfour said:

That is mental money….did they sell the other blue manual which was IIRC about £80k ?
Had mine MOT’d today…not using it enough.
Must have sold - it's gone from their website. Was up at £83k and a worse spec than mine. They have a C2GTS with PDK at £74k. Their non GTS 997 prices are mad too.How about this one: https://www.hexagonclassics.com/car/porsche-911--9...Had mine MOT’d today…not using it enough.
Maybe I should see what they'll give me for mine while the market is still crazy.............Get back into a 991.2 GT3 in a year or 2...
