What you lose out on is a little bit of mid and top end steam which the 4.0 motor has a great bit of. The GTS4.0 really not that much faster. You’re paying for the bigger motor and that flat six sound. Not saying I don’t love my GTS, just saying you don’t need to break the bank to get an awesome 718.

If I get the 4.0, I'm not buying the 4.0 for more performance. I figure if I'm getting a Boxster, I may as well get the best sounding engine right behind my head, maximizing the emotional experience.
I just love how the Spyder looks, so again, it's adding to the emotion every time I drive it.
But I rented a 981 Boxster S and drive down the PCH from San Fran to LA, and it was one of the best driving experiences of my life. I had so much fun in that little rental Porsche, and it was plenty fast enough for me.
