I've no idea why you would label me 'biased'. Seriously, on what do you base it? I speak my mind to the point of irritating others and I often make insanely & blindly-supportive obviously-biased comments (subjective, but they're obvious to me) in the name of sarcasm, e.g. Comp vs Base discussions... to me, that's all banter. I have often commented that my M5's interior is 'meh' compared to my AMG's... albeit more functional and satisfying in its performance. I've said similar things of my RS7's aging interior and certainly of its transmission (all were comments made at the time I owned them). I criticize without bias where I feel it's deserved. I compliment using the same philosophy (well, I sure as hell try). So here's that same philosophy: you make a habit of sarcastically-disguised but nonetheless obvious jabs--I don't usually care but this one irritates me because it's the one thing that I see everywhere on the forums that truly annoys me and it's the one that I try so hard to *not* be and yet... |

TTS is an interesting animal vs the F90. Technowise, the F90 is in a different world, but the TTS has "enough" for me. The PDK with a 5600rpm 2 step makes me laugh every time I use it. My wife loves it. 1.58 sixties on pavement is insane. Icing on the cake is 10.46 at 131mph....that was more than I expected because of the 580hp rating and watching vids of those cars run. It makes perfect sense that Porsche would only pay the EPA, TUV, etc, etc certs for one tune since they were only going to produce 500 Exclusives and even less 2019 TTS's. You don't get in trouble with higher than rated HP. My only gripe is two rattles. One major at the speaker in the A pillar (which I will remove and solve) and one very minor "thump" in the rear like a hose not secured that hits the body over expansion joints that I can live with. I Enjoy driving both. |

992 interior had the same effect btw, pics are awful. Felt excellent in person (other than the stupid shiny plastic on the center console which is awful. Felt like the cheap haptic plastic in caddy's but with no haptic buttons) |

As I said in my write-up - one of the reasons why I went 991.2 versus waiting for the 992 was the 992's interior. I do not like it (but being fair - from pictures). I think it was a mistake to not at least frame the digital gauges (which are from the 70's 911 Porsche), the tiny shifter that looks like a shaver was a mistake - and I feel the shiny plastic makes the car look too gadgety for a Porsche and somewhat cheap. I do like the 992 exterior though (mostly). Front and sides are great. Rear - I am not sure about the single tail light, I like the hips being more rounded, the rear window does not taper in like it does on the 991 so the extra width is not as noticeable, and the non-Turbo cars have the exhaust spaced out (which I believe looks better). I have a feeling the last of the analog gauges 911 may add some value in time. |

F12 on the track. Much more in like a lion and out like a lamb. The TTS may be the best car i've owned overall...but the M5C....damn close

The 911 TTS is an amazing piece of kit. The 4WS, PTS+ and the aerotrickery make it something so damn stable and comfortable with speed, that the car is almost not scary for the power. The backend is a little loose though in some circunstances. I got to drive the TTS multiple times, always came close to buying, but never pulled the trigger due to the price not making me comfortable to spend that much in a car. Nevertheless I have to say it is an amazing piece of kit. Worth every god damn penny.
That been said, today I think the 991.2 and 992 Porsches are so damn fast, that I don't know if I would go for the TTS or go for a GTS when purchasing a 911. The performance difference is almost irrelevant nowadays, and I am sure a GTS is probably more fun if you opt for the RWD. |

https://www.cars.com/for-sale/search..._FORM&zc=92808 And while the prices on the 600 are negotiable so is that over priced cab for sure. That dealer will be stuck with that car for a long time unless they cut some of the front (11%) and even move into their holdback.
