Now the Turbo is just a Carrera S with two turbos and related components installed so why is it then as expensive as the "old" GT1 based Turbo? Never mind me... just thinking aloud.

Yeah just a C2S with two turbos strapped on!!!!!!!!! All the performance of the S plus a TT..... there is more here than just the small power bump... the way this car delivers its performance is going to be much improved!

That's why I kept my Turbo and bought a 997.2 c2s."More out of less ... to optimize the relationship between cost and benefit"
