Considering getting into a newer model after the sale of my collectible air cooled 964 Cup Car.

What's the main difference between a Turbo and Turbo S power wise? Is it worth it for the extra $30k + for the S? thanks

 

If you don't need the best to sleep at night, go for the turbo non s version. But for me the ceramics the extra hp and overall bragging rights are well worth the extra money.

 

Both cars are stupid fast and are pretty much at the top of the food chain from a performance perspective. If you really want carbon ceramics and another 70hp go for the S. Personally I would save the 30k and get the turbo but some people just want the best of everything. Good luck...can't go wrong with either one.

 

Get the S, the difference is well worth it (try to add the options that comes standard on the S to the regular and look at the price)

 

I owned a 991.1 non S. Always wish I had the S.

 

Yes it is worth it. I went with a 991 Turbo and kept telling myself that the S wasn't worth it. But the additional equipment when added to the Turbo (PCCB and PDCC) made the price closer. I felt like I compromised.

 

Just ordered a 992 turbo s cab with late Dec early Jan delivery. Can’t wait it will be my daily driver!

 

Unless you plan on upgrading turbos, grab the S and throw a tune on

 

I own a 997.2 Turbo S. The carbon ceramic are fantastic for normal daily driver activity. Zero dust, stunning to look at the larger floating disks and literally last the life of the vehicle (in most cases). It is one of those options that make the car feel like a SuperCar. Porsche's are so understated (which I love) but the brakes really help it stand out "upon closer inspection"

So, I'd say if you plan on doing lots of mods and tracking the car, get the regular turbo. If you will be mainly on the street, get the Turbo S and a tune.

 

I have to agree, the brakes are really amazing and do add another level of "cool" to the car.
Not absolutely necessary but if one can afford it, I say go for it.

 

My 991.2 is an S and my 992 is an S being built in Jan, I would have got all the options on a standard turbo, so for me the choice was simple

 

The only thing wrong with my 997 was it wasn’t an S. It was in my budget to get an S, but i thought the base was enough. If the S had been out of my reach then it wouldn’t have been an issue, however I made a conscious choice to not spend the money. And it was a mistake. I always found myself wondering if I should have got the S and it changed how I felt about my car.

S ENVY IS REAL. If you have the means then do it. If you don’t then your choice is made and you don’t need to ask.

 

Ask me in March - going from a '16 Turbo Cabrio to a '21 Turbo S Cabrio ..

 

This was particularly funny.
