GTS does not come standard with SPASM or LSD. But you might just get some 'SPASMs' if you take enough LSD.
GTS = C2S + X51 + PSE + WB + Centerlocks (if chosen) + GT3ish Alcantara interior + Aerokit Front
4 GTS = C4S + X51 + PSE + Centerlocks (if chosen) + GT3ish Alcantara interior + Aerokit Front
It's unclear whether the spring rates in the GTS are from C2S, C4S or different (I've been trying to figure it out so I can lower mine).

True. Roads driven, speeds, car sound, even mood, etc. can all affect the experience, plus memory isn't entirely reliable when comparing cars. And the GTS I drove has a huge wing, so that surely fosters the perception that it's more like a race car! 
These are good reasons to compare cars back to back, preferably multiple rounds, under the same driving conditions (a "controlled experiment"). I've also found it helpful to drive the same car on different days to see if my feeling changes over time (a "longitudinal study").

It takes a lot for me NOT to like a car.

I test drove gts, imho it was a very nice car in all aspects. But when I had to decide if I want to trade in my car plus shell out almost 80k on top of it, you know, I just could not justify it to myself. Performance gain is there, gts got great motor, but it is not a turboed v12 6series amg mercedes has. If I would not have any car now I would go with gts, but having rebuilt 997 car already I want a severe performance leap, not an incremental stuff. You know how modded 850hp r8 audi goes away from you? That sort of a leap. 400hp vs my modded 335-340hp is not worth 80k to me.
