i personally like the checkered floor for sports cars..

ur friend has a gorgeous collection of cars !
I, too, love the GTS (I also test drove a Turbo S coupe with PDK) but actually prefer the raw feeling of the normally-aspirated GTS...can't really explain it.
Regarding the granite flooring, I love it, and that is all that matters...whether I have "nice enough" cars for it, well, I will leave that up to other people...I do what I like for me...and I love the wow factor of walking in there to get in a car. All that matters to me.

Wow, those are some great pictures. That's exactly the GTS I would get, there is something very classy about the white over black. The wheels may be my favorite part with the chrome surround.

Porsche hit a home run with the GTS.

Spot on man! Do what makes you happy and tell everyone else to go FISH! hahaha, but between me and you, you have a stable that DOES command a granite floor, congrats on the new purchase, and enjoy them all in the best of health

haha, don't misunderstand..

'high-end' cars is prob not the correct word.. I meant something 'luxurious' like ur friend's Bentleys and Rolls.

but if granite gets u going, granite it is.

BOL

Thanks, guys.
I am loving the GTS more and more each day...I got it tinted today (35% like all of our cars) and it looks even better...the black/white contrast is really sweet to my eye. It is so fun to drive...soooo much power and this engine loves to rev. First night I got it (Saturday) I put on 100 miles, driving up the coast, just having fun.
I drove the PTT today as well as the GTS, and while they are so different, they are each equally enjoyable. I am so happy I got the GTS - I gave up my '09 black/black C4S PDK cab a few months back when I got the PTT (was trying to be practical), and I regretted it...and now I am back and happy again. There is something really special about a sports car. I have always had black cars, but I agree, Porsche really hit a home run with the styling of the GTS, especially with the black wheels and details, and in white, it really pops. I have gotten a lot of comments and looks in the GTS, even in LA, a place where you see everything all the time.

Would you mind telling me where you got it tinted? I'm looking for a shop to do the same to my 997, and am more concerned with the quality over the cost

Very nice!!! I found that I had to put the PTT's suspension is the firmest mode to enjoy it as the standard setting was too soft and floaty for me. Do you find it to be the same?

Enjoy.
