as a long time porsche and mercedes owner, I never had the sport exhaust on any car. I think its an absolute waste. It has no performance advantage. it just makes more noise. For the cost of this system you can buy a better or real exhaust system for the car and have free flow exhaust, a real HP maker, and have better sound, all the time
aside from that and the CF brakes, I get every option on a car

I have to agree with you 100% there, the GT is a great sounding car, not many cars sound better at WOT.

For some $10K is pocket change and they would rather have a badge with an S.
For others, $10K will be spent on wheels, better sound system and a tune and the end result will be a faster customized car.
To each his own.
Related to the exhaust, I do believe that jrcart has a point as the valves bypass a portion of the exhaust and therefore is more free flowing. You won't feel the difference but you sure hear it.

ITs really not the money though. It's funny how you guys get your brains zapped by the nomenclature.
If you want to spend your money get a different car and that would be the GTC.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
the GT has 456 HP, show me where it has more HP with the dynamic performance exhaust. Or any porsche, mercedes, maserati, bmw with these valved muffler exhaust systems.

Even though I pointed out an advantage of going GTS, I went GT. I happened to see a car in inventory at the end of the year and I made a great deal. I am perfectly happy with my decision and would do it again.
