This comes from an owner of both cars over a long period. For a daily event I would take a Turbo S over a GT3 all day (had that too). This is my experience from owning both sets and not just test driving or having a limited experience (not implying this about you- just stating) Edit- I normally get new chassis model that is not a Turbo S cause its readily available then I migrate over.

My father in-law is a Porsche fanatic and use to have a 996 Turbo (he's probably gone through almost 20 Porsche's in his lifetime by now) and that was definitely one cool car, one that started my interest in Porsche. I definitely plan on getting a 911 in the future (most likely cabriolet as I'm a sucker for drop tops), as I have yet to own one. My previous 718 Boxster S was actually my father-in-law's lease at first but he gave it to my wife and I for the last year, and ever since then I have been smitten with Porsche. My wife has the M2, so I need a fun sports car for myself now, and with the news of the flat-6 returning to the Boxster I knew I had to have it.

Also, just for the sake of it, the 2017 MT best drivers car the 911 turbo placed 3rd after the 488 and 718 and beat out a lot of great cars like the AMG GT-R, Mclaren 570, C7 Grand sport and Giulia Quad. I think the turbo gets undue criticism bc the GT3 is such a scintillating and emotional drive with the best screamer of an NA engine IMO but is not warranted. |

If I were to get a 911 Turbo, whoever at Porsche spec'd this press car did it perfectly for me. Metallic White with a Red Roof and Leather. Simply gorgeous, and love the whale tail, really helps out with the cabriolet's rear end.

The new 992 Turbo S is amazing. Preliminary results from European magazines show it is blisteningly quick, its a pity I have had to drop my order, and probably sell my M5 to make some money for this pandemic craziness.
Besides that, 992 Turbo S will only arrive 2Q of 2021 here, so orders were delayed nearly 6 months. |

This thing is absolutely bonkers. If the old one was lunacy (the 991.2) with 580-600hp, imagine with 640hp. I will reorder one next year. Although since our currency here devalued crazily, I am not sure how the prices will be. In the website prices for orders have already gone up 10% (which is pretty much 150k in our local currency). Another thing, is that I am having a very hard time getting someone else to fill my allocation, there is a good chance I might have to keep it. We will see. |

LOVE the Targas.....just not realistic for me right now with 1 child and another on the way.
Anyone else disappointed when you see a newer 911 and it's a base model? What a waste for the money. I know what the base models cost....but I always think "what a cheap f*ck" when I see one. I'd take anything above a base model, though...the S is a great car as is the GTS.
