Would you rather...

Have a 2015 991.1 Turbo S Cab with a $210K sticker for $164K

- OR -

A 2016 991.2 Turbo (non-S) Cab with a $193K sticker for $160K

"Regular" turbo has more creature comforts; "S" model has more performance oriented items. Both have same miles, both dealer CPO'd. Same colors.

I plan to add exhaust to both. I would leave "S" otherwise stock, but I would likely ECU tune the "Regular".

My answer is based on the assumption that you likely won't track a cab, so I would go with the newest model. The tune and exhaust should make them close enough in speed, that it won't be a very noticeable difference from that perspective.

Agreed. Porsche doesn't go backwards when they introduce a new model. The new ecu programming on the .2 and the pdk updates including the paddle shifting feel are significant.

If you don't need the brakes and get more options you like on the non S go for it!
Stage 2 will make you forget the S : )

What color are you looking at?

the non-S .2 doesn't have nearly the upgrades as the S. I would go with the 2015 in my personal opinion and enjoy the warranty that the tune would partially complicate.

I presume the non-S doesnt have PCCBs, which are a significant benefit to me.

Now I'm confused. Magazines report 2016 as the first year of the .2 but the 2016 Turbo I'm considering decidedly looks like a .1. Dealer also confirms its a .1 and that the .2 doesn't start until 2017, at least on the turbo.

Now I guess my question is easier to answer. 2016 turbo vs 2015 TS for similar price.

Both Carrara White Metallic. TS has Natural Espresso and other has Yachting Blue.

Sam, I'm in City of Industry. We need to talk.

Non-s is missing PCCB and PDCC, but it has extra "everyday" options like Adaptive Cruise and Burmester. I drive in LA traffic everyday so the ACC is actually very attractive to me. 7 of my last 9 cars have had it, and I really missed it in those 2.

Yeah it's a .1
Normally myself and several others would say S all the way. But I totally get you with the other options and the fact that you can get the power anyhow. Yachting Blue in a cab with Burmeister and Adaptive cruise is attractive in Cali!

Sure pal anytime! Good luck!

For me living in FL it's a nobrainer.. I take the 15 Cab TTS and call Sambo & throw some juice into it.

Yeah, ACC was a "must have" for me as well. I use it as much as a I thought I would.

PCCBs vs. ACC? Oh man... I'd look for a third car that had both.
