Looking at 2 cars today. Have had 4 turbos before getting the Panamera 4. Have been getting anxiety over getting back into a high energy car.
1) 2013 991 4s sport chrono, sport exhaust, dynamic chassis control, etc nicely optioned and no unnecessary stuff 5k miles
2) 2011 turbo cab also nicely optioned and not a lot of junk added 16k miles both cars very well loved.
Any thoughts.
2008 997 Turbo Cab (Gone but never forgotten)
Carrera White
Europipe Stage 1 exhaust
2012 Panamera 4
Platinum Silver
Sport Chrono Plus,Turbo wheels & other stuff

 

Here's the 4s

 

I almost got a 991 2s but ended up getting a 997.1TT. THe 991 Carrera is an amazing car. It fit me incredibly well, insanely comfortable, great looks. I loved the car. But it was SLOW. Obviously it's all relative but, the car had good grunt but didn't really have the top end I wanted. So I got the turbo. I can cruise when I want, and when I want to really step on it....I'm passing nearly everything on the road. Seems like the cars have completely different purposes

 

If I was still in Jersey I would go TT without question. Roads are TT appropriate. I'm in Penn now 30 minutes west of Philly. Roads are built for motocross. Small windy well taken care of through horse country. Great for an na car. I do have turbo longing after selling my 08. That's my dilemma.

 

Same price?
Put your foot to the floor in both cars at 3k rpm. No comparison.

 

I drove my 997.2 Turbo to the dealer and drove a 2014 991S with aero kit and knew within 10 seconds of pulling out of the driveway it was not for me. When you go Turbo you never go back.

 

Agree!

 

Jersey Shore, a nice compromise for you (if you want to stick with NA vs. turbo) might be the 991 911 50th Anniversary edition. I test drove a gorgeous graphite grey one at Porsche in Edison NJ last Thursday. It's a wide body, rear wheel drive C2S with 430hp! (it's got the powerkit). The sports exhaust is incredible. Did I mention 0-60mph in 3.9sec (PDK), manual is also available if that's your thing!

It's basically a loaded 991 Carrera GTS! If didn't have my mind set on a '12/'13 TTS I'd jump on it!

 

turbo…if I was considering a 991 it would have to have the aero kit option. The sportier front makes a huge difference IMO. The rear wing may not favor everyone but I like it.

Like the added touch to the turbo II wheels with the black paint.

 

TT for sure. Whole different animal.

 

TT all the way!!

Even for a .2 Gt3?

 

GT3 is a different animal. How much street time vs track time are you planning?

 

You stated "High Energy car." I think you mean "Turbo."
