I have been thinking about this. I love the looks of the GT3 touring but not sure if I want a manual. If I could get over the ****** spoiler I would go for the gt3 PDK. Is the gt3 fun in the city?

Been thinking maybe of going to a gt3 pdk. Will I miss the torque of the tts?. Is the gt3 the greatest 911 ever as all the reviewers say?

Will I miss the torque? Has anyone went from a turbo to a gts? Thoughts?

Hi. I get what you are pondering about. I have a 16 modded turbo cab with 680 whp with 27k miles AND a 2018 manual targa gts with a flash both with rear steering and comparably equipped. In some ways, the targa is more satisfying than the turbo, like higher rpm. Absolutely on the sound. Sound comparison is baritone to tenor. I prefer tenor. My turbo has Tubi exhaust. As far as performance, it depends on your use. I have taken both to the smokey mountains. Up there, the power difference is inconsequential. The turbo is like crushing a garlic clove with the power of a 10lb hammer.
the GTS is great...

They sound significantly different; GTS sounds less vacuum to me.

it depends on how the car is used. I thought the same until i got one (...and still have my turbo cab).
for the twisties in the mountains (think tail of the dragon and such) the gts is very compelling...
