a lot of things are rare.
rare doesn't meant good or collectable
T and any GT3/RS short of RS4.0, none are collectable.
low production number doesn't automatically mean collectable either

991.1 and 991.2 911 turbo and 991.2 carrera turbo all have very noticeable lag. Driven all three extensively. Much better than older Porsche turbos but major lag compared to the knife edge response of a GT3. No offense jp884 but it kinda surprises me you don’t notice it on your TTS.
The only lag free turbo car is the 488/pista. No other manufacturer has truly solved turbo lag. Every turbo from MB, BMW, Porsche, Mclaren, etc. annoys me with their turbo lag, even though all those cars have less lag than turbos of a decade or more ago.

True the response in the GT3 is immediate but I feel it’s insignificant in comparison. The 996 and 993 sure that was some lag. Like I said, stepping on my dads GT2 on a straight away. I sometimes wondered if my foot was still on the pedal until the boost came on. I Guess I need to spend some serious time between the two cars to truly dissect the two, other than the noticeable road feel and sound. Seems there are some track days that need to be in order.

Twin turbos def help to reduce the lag, besides, as a daily driver, it’s far better not needing 8k revs to get some grunt happening.
I also think collectability is relative, the T costs way less than and GT car of the same series, I look at depreciation more so and the GT car, with a couple of exceptions, will loose a greater % (if not in $ a least).
TTS, GT3/RS/T, GT2 all are great, enjoy fellas!
