Gonna save that thorough 40k mile C&D look-back review, especially now that I've joined the 718 GTS ranks!

Tim,
I didn’t know you had a GTS 4.0. When did you buy it?

I think a GTS 4.0 is a very neat transportation device.

A week and half ago Larry. It's a 2021 with 19,400 miles and very well equipped. Black on black w/black wheels, black trim - black everything! It just kind of fell into my lap so to speak, so I bought it on impulse. (I love the platform and there aren't going to be anymore.) Interior and mechanicals perfect but it needed quite a bit of exterior TLC - will post more pics and info later on a diff thread.

Going to continue be a driver for us as it apparently has been since new!

Welcome to drive modes and heated seats/steering wheel. Did you get the Burmiester?

Heated seats and steering wheel, yes, but Bose only and the music is really only halfway decent when the car is sitting and not being driven. lol.

Drive modes are always good in my book!

The article makes reference to a special tool needed for spark plug change that the dealer had to acquire. Anyone know what that is?

I am assuming it is just this, a deep socket with wobble extension. You may already have a spark plug socket and a selection of short extensions and wobbles.

Edit: might be this one actually. 14mm spark plug, outer diameter needs to be around 18mm to fit inside the hole.

I am going to call FCP to discuss. Maybe Suncoast as well. Surely there is a 6 pt. solution for a 6 pt. plug. I would bet that Jet Fuel has this figured out.
