This is a review of the 2022 Porsche 992 generation 911 in GTS trim. Its considered by many to be the "sweet spot" in the 911 lineup but that wont tell you how it feels to drive, the performance, or what it is like to live with on the daily. If you have any interest in someday buying a GTS, you cant miss this review!

Traded my 2018 991.2 GT3 for my 2022 C4 GTS. When people ask, it's the same answer - the gt3 is the hooker. Good at 1 thing only and does it extremely well. The GTS is like the wife. Jack of all trades.
This might be the best metaphor I have ever heard! 😂
@algt4521 I have build slots available btw a T and C4GTS (could not get one for a C2GTS) how have you liked the C4GTS?
I love Porsches, but they need to stop nickel and diming the consumers with the options that should already be included. Beautiful car, I’m glad you can afford it with that ridiculous ADM!
Know what’s crazy? The ADM on GTSs isn’t that bad in comparison to any GT car. The world is nuts right now!
Either way, thanks for watching.
Congrats bro! Very happy for you!
Really appreciate your honest and transparent review!
Thanks for the support
Congrats bro! , and awsome review ♥
Thanks for watching
Great video and love the car! I'm in the bay area and I'm looking to get this same color and was wondering which dealership did you go with?
Mine came from Redwood City Porsche. I worked with Sam P who is awesome
Nick, Enjoyed the review. Your channel was helpful back when I was looking for a 1M. Now I am waiting for my GTS. Did you sell your 1M, or do you still have it?
Unfortunately yes the 1M is sold. Sadly I couldn’t hang on to it and buy the next one.
It congrats on the GTS! You will love it
Hi from the UK. Great video and love the car. Quick question - are main dealers in the US allowed to charge ADM on new cars or was this a ‘used’ car? Main Porsche dealers in the UK have to sell at list price but of course there are always workarounds! 😉
ADM is specific to new cars. Used cars change value too frequently to standardize. But yes,
Porsche dealers here are ripping us off.
Congrats on your GTS. I am going to submit my specs soon. Seems like Porsche makes a lot of money from add-on options on their cars lol. Enjoy
Great video, thank you. I'm torn between Shark Blue and Carmine Red. How is the Race-Tex wheel holding up? Do you wish you had leather?
Color is always a hard choice... I am just a sucker for Blue. The racetex is totally fine. I have no issues. then again, I dont get sweaty palms and some people do. id imagine that might change the equation some.
Wow! That’s a lot adm!! Beautiful car. Quick question where on the configuration site can you option the side black stone guards? Love the car.
thank you.
stone guards are no longer available. I think that has to do with supply issues. I added these aftermarket.
@@PointShiftDrive did you get the magnetic stone guards and if so from where? I’m waiting for my shark blue GTS - cheers!
@@SS-22 you can get stone guards from SunCoast parts
Love the video. Lots of details.
Any particular reason you chose the manual over the PDK?
Also considering lightweight glass option but can’t wrap my head around how that option would isolate noises more than the standard glass
Thank you for watching. Also please consider sharing. it really helps the channel.
As for your question... I choose the stick for a number of reasons. Mainly, I enjoy a good manual... and this is certainly a good one. Also, it is more rare. I think this will be helpful for resale value.
As for lightweight glass... I would be careful. when I got my 992 GT3, I noticed how fragile the glass was. very little pressure can bend the glass. As a matter of fact, many new owners on the forum sites started cracking their glass by accident. just leaning on the car and stuff. So that was enough reason for me to not check that box. Please its really not that much weight savings and in the real world, its not going to feel different. it will be slightly nosier as well. But I am personally ok with that.
@@PointShiftDriveok thanks. The odd thing is that they market the lightweight glass as an option that lowers the amount of road noise and outside ambient sounds, and to me, logic would be that it would be the opposite, that lightweight glass would make it noisier, like you said
Detailed,thanks bro
Hey Man, love the car, I have a very similar car due for delivery in September. I seriously thought about the Shark blue but went with Centian
Blue. I see your in the Bay Area and so am I. Did you have the car wrapped? I’m looking for someone to do this so if you know of a place I’d love to know. Thanks
I actually paid for the factory to PPF the front clip. Cost an additional $2700
love the car. do you have the standard suspension? or did you option the raised 10mm suspension for more comfort?
GTS suspension. I wanted it to not be an ‘S’
Great video. I wonder if u considered getting bucket seats and light weight package. Love to hear your thoughts on that.
Thanks for watching!
Yes I considered it. However that almost doesn’t make sense for me. After all, I sold my 992 GT3 to get this GTS. Why? For more practicality and a backseat for my kids.
Besides, the lightweight package might actually effect resale values a bit. There aren’t many people that want to spend almost GT3 money on a non-GT car. I actually think you lose some of your future buyers if you make this an almost GT3. Most people want the GTS for its daily drivability. Those are my $.02
@@PointShiftDrive thanks for the reply. Something to consider when I spec mine.
I got the buckets and lightweight , well worth it and makes it feel even more special
@@richardwatts6653 Congrats! Its a great set up. Enjoy
@@richardwatts6653Congrats. 😍 How’s the noise level on the road? Is the road and wind noise much louder compare to non light weight ?
Hey Nick great vid! I'm in SF too and shopping for a 992.. who did you go with for sales? Looking for a reliable spot!
Call Sam at Redwood City Porsche
And you speced yours out?? I might have to swing by there this weekend. Biggest part is finding a reliable dealer
Great video. How long did you wait after you place the order?
Thank you.
I waited about 8 months for delivery. Not too bad.
Great video, can you tell me if you need to break in the 911 gts? There’s polar opinions on this from my research
Factory recommendation is stay under 5k RPM for 2k miles. obviously you dont want to drive long distances on cruise control. you need to rev it up and down to keep the heat spread within the cylinders.
Also, there will always be a debate but I always follow factory recommendations because those are there for a reason.
Great video! Did you consider the C2S w/ PASM? Like you, I live in the Bay and wonder how the C2S w/ PASM compares to the GTS for a daily driver, esp for the roads we have up here. Love to hear your thoughts
With all things Porsche, its a exponential growth curve. And suspension compliance is no different. I have driven many versions of the 911 and the base carerra/C2Sor C4S all have very compliant suspension. They are surprisingly good on a track considering how soft they are. Porsche basically is building the 911 to fit pretty much anyone's lifestyle. So you can always find one that works for you. the GTS is really good on the road. so good in fact that I rarely notice the suspension in a bad way. I just drive the thing.
A GT car, that is a different story. Alternatively, anything under the GTS trim-wise is proportionately a step towards daily driver as the GT3 is to track-work. All that being said, I didnt consider anything sub GTS trim level because I wanted some motorsport theatre. I think anything less is a bit of a "normal" car... if that makes sense. The GTS is a really perfect balance.
Hope that helps!
@@PointShiftDrive Anything less? The S has 450 HP too. Should be good enough for the road. At least, if you won't spec it to GTS level, then you are better off with the GTS:
I own the GTS with original suspension (which is the same as the turbo) and would recommend it instead of the PASM (which is the same as the CarreraS). Then you don't need the 4wheel steering option! For street use not necessary 4 wheel drive as well.
I am also a happy owner of shark blue GTS , the colour is so rich and pop up, I am enjoying taking pictures and videos for it everyday.
Congrats!
😂
Sweet video sir snd even sweeter car!
Much appreciated
Great spec! Can't believe they are charging that much ADM...
My Shark Blue GTS comes in in December. My build will be 144 lbs less than any other GTS 2. I did not get the lightweight package, I didn't want rear steer nor did I want the racing seats. I got Manual sport seats, PDK, no Bose upgrade, Carbon fiber roof, Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Spider Design Wheels and I added Lightweight Racing battery. Zuffenhausen would not allow me to delete rear seats so I am stuck with those. I predict my car will be one of the fastest GTS you will see on the road.
Sounds like a great build.
Are you planning on tracking it?
i want this to be my next car.
Love from Pretoria, South Africa
My neighbor bought it😢, lava orange color
Congrats! What kids car seat are you using?
Check out wayb seats
After seeing this car, I have been obsessed with the color. the questions is, is it Voodoo, Mexico, or Shark Blue? The color is phenomenal, video does it no justice. Its a Gorgeous Beast of a Car.
Shark blue all the way my friend. 🦈👍🏼
How long were you on the waitlist for? Which dealership?
RWC said 1.5-2 years at MSRP.
I was offered an allocation (their last during that period). So only build and transport time. But I had to pay $25k adm
How is the GTS for a taller driver? I am 6’6 and considering. You seemed relatively tall. Thanks in advance for any info!
You will fit. No problem.
Hey Nick, after owning both GT3 and GTS, are you still happy with the GTS?
I miss the hell out of the GT3... but the truth is, they are very different tools. And the GTS is a tool I can use MOST everyday. The GT3 would probably sit all month except for a weekend here and there. BOTH fantastic cars.
My 2024 Carmine Red GTS is stuck at the port,. I guess all 911s are not being released to the carrier at the moment.@@PointShiftDrive
$25k ADM 😳 Man I feel lucky. Just placed my order on a ‘24 GTS Coupe at sticker. There an option you wish you now had added? Nice vidoe. Thanks
Viewers need to realize that this video was done a couple years ago. At the time you couldn’t buy a Porsche without ADM unless you are a VIP.. At the end of the day I didn’t regret it because the car was so awesome. In terms of options I had no regrets because this was a pretty highly option car. A matter fact it was probably too many options. only issue was I wasn’t in love with it, I enjoyed driving it. It was fast as hell but there was just something about it that made it a little bit too clinical. Honestly it probably had to do more with my kids being too small to enjoy the drive at the time. Nevertheless, a wonderful car so glad I got it in a fun color. Congrats on your purchase I know you’re gonna love it.
@@PointShiftDrive Totally get it was a different market when you made the video. YOLO and you went for it and bought it. Total respect. I’m coming from a ‘23 C8 that I bought during the craziness and didn’t pay over sticker. Lucky to have good friends hooking me up then and now. The C8 is a bad ass sport car. I missed a manual and going to see if I like the 911 GTS Coupe.
You make good videos.
Thanks you for replying.
Happy Easter
Your car came with Michelin PS4S from factory? If so, that's a first I've seen as they usually come with Pirelli P-Zero or GoodYear Eagle F1.
Yup!
@@PointShiftDrive Thanks and that’s lucky. Hopefully mine comes with them too as I prefer Michelin. However, if my car ever arrives that is, been delayed a couple of times already 😩😕
You can’t get a ZO6 without a ridiculous ADM just to be in a list- unless you’ve had a very long term relationship with the dealer. You should be able to get the T at MSRP
You can... but you need to search for the right dealer.. and also base Z06. they do hold ADM on the z07 packaged cars
How long your GTS held at U.S port? Mine been in jax for two weeks now
Mine was held for about 3 days.
That’s super quick! mine is driving me crazy, it’s like 7 months wait is not long enough lol
@@saurabhpatel6630 Well hang tight. you are in the final stretch. And it is totally worth the wait. Congrats on the car~!!
Yeah Jacksonville port always been horrendous in processing. Thanks for the replay,. I will post a video on my channel and get back to you.
Finally taking the delivery this Monday! Anything thing I should know let me know lol
Where did you get the side rock guards? Oem?
Suncoastparts is your friend
@@PointShiftDrive is yours the one that cost $50?
9:09 Look at the kid at the back seat ( I can fit and I can be on the video - great success :)
When you got to film but your a dad.
@@PointShiftDrive Dad with a cool car, enjoy every moment with both of them 😉
Greetings from Athens, Greece, Νικόλα... 🙂
Yasas!
Having your kids in the back while filming also adds to the mechanical grip
#dadlife
I got mine at MSRP in December with a March allocation. I refused to pay ADM
👏 @MSRP
Easier to do that now a days. But still.
@@PointShiftDrive love your spec man especially those RS Spyder wheels. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I think the GTS will hold is value very well including what you paid over sticker considering the confirmation of the hybrid replacements to the GT and turbo models.
GRANDE PORSCHE 🌹 😘 👍 🇮🇹 🔝
PASM -10mm or regular PASM ?
10mm lower
How Tall are you? I'm 6'2" and broad shouldered.
I am 6-2, about 230lbs. Fit perfect.
$25000 ADM??? How do you sleep at night? That's insane. Had to leave you a like just for that
ADM is the devil! however it is a reality since 2020. Thankfully, I love my GTS and so it was worth it to have it exactly the way I wanted it versus waiting to get one second hand. BUT I do not like paying over for things and I hope this trend goes away soon.
Thanks for watching!
Why anyone would pay a dealer markup, much less a $25k markup, I’ll never understand.
Have ever tried to buy a Porsche? Also during that weird market coming out of the pandemic?
@@PointShiftDrive Yes, bought mine at MSRP. That’s why I commented that. It was cheaper buying new vs buying 1-2 years old with the pricing in the secondary market. But a $25k markup is insanely greedy for that dealer and one I would avoid. I bought my BMW M3C during the pandemic. I flew to Atlanta to buy it at MSRP and drove it 7 hours home vs buying from the dealers locally all charging $10k-$20k markups. Beautiful color. Shark Blue will be the color of my next car.
I'd prefer the sunroof with black glass instead of carbon roof, no backwheel steering (ad weight), centerlock wheels and most important, keep the original suspension, which was adapted from turboS. color is nice. I owned a GT3 991.2 and bougth the 992 GTS. on the street, the GTS is at least as fast as the GT3 coz of the high power in low rpm. so finally: THE GTS IS THE SWEET SPOT OF 911 992 SERIES!
With Porsche, there are just so many combinations. You can have it, "your way!" However, this is a GTS that is worth obsessing over. It over delivers my expectations. AND you can actually get one if you want to... unlike the GT3
Peek- a- boo little boy in the back...lmao.
Dad first 😂
got screwed with the adm no one should pay it on a non gt car
Not sure if you have been paying attention. But during 2022-23 almost all cars have ADM. Sure it’s starting to go back to “normal” but that wasn’t when I got my allocation.
Also, even today you would have to pay over for a GTS.
We no longer live in a world where GT cars are the special ones and all the other 911s are just normal. All the 992s are special. Incredible performance in any trim.
Awesome car, but the little kid club music is not needed.
Thank you for the feedback :)
Nice review, but stop pacing. you're making me nervous.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the feedback
You over paid! The roof is DEAD money! It's also a very weak spec. Shark blue is over ordered.
With the same budget, how would you have spec'd it differently?
@@PointShiftDrive He wouldn't he doesn't have any money. Enjoy your beautiful car. Mine arrives hopefully June.
Great answer- ignore the trolls.
I cant wrap my head around why you got CF roof, but nothing else is CF, at least its manual. Zero taste was required in this build, smh.
Wrap your head around subjectivity.
@@PointShiftDrive I tried, didn't work.
Amber Alert
Ha! Yeah kids had
To come along for the ride that day
Does this sh have folding mirrors ,heated seats ? My golf has ...lol clowns
What type of man drives a Golf 😂
A golf driver shouldn’t be allowed to comment on a Porsche. LMAO! 😂😂
