GTS exclusive features
Not going to become obsessed about the issues I have about the GTS...But I wonder how likely it will be to have the H2O system for the regular M4?
I am beyond sure the ODEM lights will come soon too with the laser headlights, but would you really be ready to spend 130k for 80 HP more?? |

Bottom line - if my budget was $150k+ for a third car as a dedicated track toy - I'd be all over the M4 GTS... |

A friend of mine has a M3 GTS. It is a completly different beast than a standard M3 E92. I think this is the same story with the new one... And when you mod a stock M3/4 you are sort of burning money... But if you buy a GTS you buy the "true thing" that will keep a "good" resale value AND have the true performance on the track...
My 2 cents.

There will also be a nice influence on the aftermarket as well to replicate GTS inspired parts as there is a lot to learn from the factory built car. Someone needs to replicate the door pulls. Will we see a factory built M4 race car running the S55? We have the m235i racing and maybe even those will be replaced by m2 based vehicles but I would love to see a motorsport M4 GT4 and that would certainly ensure a release of products through the motorsport catalogue for the f8x. |

The only production cars that leave the showroom stock with coil-overs are the specialty race/street legal cars.

That has always been the policy but as we have seen there are ways around it through some vendors relationships with motorsport programs. With the limited number of production GTS's it will be more of a collector car. I do not think GTS buyers will be the same as GT3 buyers. The cars are priced in the same bracket but I highly doubt I will ever see an m4 GTS at the track like I see 991 GT3's all day. Most GTS's, at least in america, will be locked away in rich guys collections. |

Tons of GT3s at the track. I doubt Id see many if any GTS M4s at the track. It's definitely a collector car at 700 units world wide. |

It's really a car built for a purpose, instead of a jack of all trades.
relive this moment. Chris Harris also asked the same thing:

Just as a small precision, there is no "active" aero on the GTS. While it is adjustable, it is still passive.

Yes I agree. When you tell me north of 140k for a track car, I think of many other cars. A transformed e92 with a supercharged dinah (850 hp), porsche, GTR, so on. I love the new features it advertises but...that price tag just does not give me justice for the car... For the record, this does not involve my budget. |

The GT3 at 150-ish includes an exorbitant porsche tax. This thread implies the US spec cars will get the roll bar? Is this confirmed? I assumed it would not. |

Possibly, but the msrp is apron 145k with decent setup, and you will get a much better "race car" than the GTS...is the price worth 490 odd hp? maybe not for power, but with those cars they do not need a lot of power to blow by 500-600 hp cars.
