Looking to buy my first turbo soon and noticing about a 10-20k gap in S to non S values. Is there any reason to not just buy a regular turbo then use a cobb accessport or is the turbo S really that much better of a car? This will be just a road car, no track duty.

 

I assume you're talking about a 991.1. It's all in the options. PCCBs, PDCC, CF interior trim, 18 way seats, etc are all standard on the S. All are available upgrades on the Turbo, you just have to check the build sheet. Whether or not the differences are worth it to you is your call. With an aftermarket tune, both run the same.

 

That was really my question is with an aftermarket tune there is any difference. I would like PCCBs but it's not a deal breaker. Thanks!

 

There's lots of deals to be had right now as well as people pick up and order their .2's and some who really enjoyed the car for a few years are going to British or Italian ha ha

 

Gatti good advice here already. Purely a HP answer, yes a tune will get you to the S and more. The cars area the exact same with the S having a different tune. Everything else is the options. Most are options on the non S while the S has them standard.

Good luck in your search. Oh yeah and get your tune from Sambo, best in the world.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'm truly excited. Just need to find the right color and options!

 

You will get all kinds of folks chiming in (personal preference) but I think there are a few must have options if you get a non S.

Must have - sport chrono, premium pkg plus
Really nice to have - Burmester (I have the Bose and it sucks), Carbon fiber interior

Personal preference and you will get people for days arguing but I would not get the PCCB's if you are on a budget. Center lock wheels are also not on my list.

Good luck in your search.

 

second the burmister, maybe it should be called the mighty burmister.

 

1000% on sport chrono.

I definitely agree on premium pkg plus and Burmester. Even if you're not an audiophile.

Honestly PCCBs are worth the money. There's nothing that stops like them. Only don't get them if you like cleaning brake dust from your wheels every other day.

 

Do both have launch control?


I understand that the 997.2, unless you have the S you got now launch control.


Thanks

LC comes with Sport Chrono, which is an option on a non-S.


those cars without it are like lepers.
