Anyone switched from 991-911 cab or coupe and RWS feedback
Hello Folks,
1) Anyone on the forum switched from 991 991-911 cab or coupe to Amg -GT / GTC , if so what are your impressions /comparison on the two?
2) GT VS GT -C : 25 K difference worth if only looking for additional power /Torque and RWS? - I never got to try a GTC but RWS in 911 GTS made the car nimbler
Thx

My 991 Turbo S with RWS felt the same in the tight canyons as it's replacement my 2018 e63s wagon without RWS.
My GTS without RWS feels even better in the tight stuff but the long wide hood takes a little gettin use to.

Have a 991 GT3 and currently daily drive a 2018 AMG GTS. The GTS is much more insulated, has a more luxurious interior and is a more comfortable daily driver.
In the GTS, I set the various settings to one Individual program which can be activated by rotating the wheel to "I". This enables a highly customizable driving experience.
Engine - race.
Exhaust - loud Sport+
Gearbox - manual paddle shifters only
ESP - on.
Suspension - comfort
The GT3 is much rougher and has a lot of road noise and mechanical sounds from the engine. MPSS tires are far more suitable for daily driving vs PSC2 in the GT3.
In a 911, you're sitting towards the front of the car so it has more of a go kart feel.
The GTS visibility is more compromised looking forward at traffic lights and with the thick A-pillars. The long nose as mentioned above takes some getting used to. I found raising the driver's seat helps so one can see the length of the front hood.
The Lane Tracking Package is key as the C-pillars are wide and compromise visibility. However, the rear visibility is much better compared to the winged GT3.

Like Ronin I didn't notice a huge difference between the GT3's RWS compared to my GTS except in a parking lot type situation where one is making sharp turns at slow speeds.
Maybe if I autocrossed it would be a noticeable difference?
