GTS vs GT2

[UncleStinger]

I have a question for the audience, and it is what are the differences between a 2019 gts and a 2018 gt2? I cannot seem to find good information on this from google.

If I recall correctly, the GTS falls somewhere between the GT and GT1 with features, though has some that are unique. It doesn't have most (any?) of the unique GT2 features (HUD, ventilated seats, etc).

Hi, Uncle. The '19 GTS is like a GT with a sunroof and Harman Kardon surround sound player. The LCD instrument cluster is the smaller one like a GT has. It has a LSD (no exceptions that I know of between AWD and RWD GTS).

FWIW I have a GT2 and I could not imagine having to park this car without the 360 sensor package. The sight lines to the rear kind of suck and the curb cameras have already saved me while parallel parking on a couple occasions. The GTS is a great value but those GT2 options are worth the money if you ask me. I didn't feel like I needed AWD so I didn't have to worry about missing out on D-AWD, I just turn off the traction control

The only thing that I wish I had with my 2018 GT2 is the 360. So many times...soooo many, I wish I could see all the way around. BUT... I could fix that by trading up a year. Alas, I will not... I'm in her for the long term. Like marriage!

I'll add - heated steering wheel, and cooled seats, are both nice to have here.

Stinger GTS was designed for race type use only. Gt2 is a premium comfort type race and actually heavier than a GTS. GTS is the only awd model that has less rear differential. GTS rwd are like torsen differentials and don't slip. Tuning is also slightly different in GTS models that make them a little more rough than gt2 comfort.

GTS also only comes in orange and has carbon fiber touches here & there

Cooled seats in AZ is very nice to have. That and the electronic suspension was the 2 biggest pushes for me to pay the $$ for GT1 over GT.
