Well considered review Wing but a bit unfair singing such praise and unsettling us other 911 owners. I will now spend another week trying to convince myself that a Litchfield GTS wouldn't add up. Getting harder with every new post from yourself and the man maths just scream "do it" :?

I must admit that it is very appealing! I think the Litchfield upgrade takes the GTS to c 520 hp too 😁

Thanks, Rab, and sorry! ;)

Man maths are a complex topic. There are no rules! :P

P.S. To be fair, my journey to the T began with a forum contributor (Virage) kindly letting me know of a GTS build slot at his local OPC. At that time, I couldn’t justify the cost of the GTS, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Cheers,
Simon

Sounds tasty...! :twisted:

And 520hp is just the ECU remap. Would be more with exhaust work (manifolds, sports CATs, silencer etc). ;)

It’s all about the £££

That being said I think my GTS is a keeper so a lot cheaper than chopping it in [emoji106]

I have to confess that after reading the Autocar first test on the new GT4 got me thinking given the type of driving I do if I might be better chopping the 911 in for one of those, thats if that was possible. But then a 911 is a 911 and difficult to let go even for anything as special as a GT4. Maybe both :shock:
