I liked my 991 TTS, but I prefer the 488. I am on the list for the pista. The reviews so far that I have read are good.

The Pista isn't a normal 488. Its the new speciale. Maybe super special speciale. The real comparison should be to the GT2. These are both track cars.
I read the details and I think the Pista looks amazing. I'm sure it will hold its value really well too, at least for the first couple of years.

Perfectly nice car but sort of boring and couldn't wait to get back in my 991 turbo S. Handled like a pig around town with huge turning circle and low ground clearance and rough transmission at lower speeds. Certainly is a looker but mechanically doesn't hold a candle to our cars.

TT is a great all-rounder and easier to manage town car but that is the beginning and end in this contest.
Performance of Pista will destroy TT much worse than how 488's superior performance already destroys TT.
Looks and sound, driving sensations all superior than TT especially outside of town where TT becomes quite boring in comparison.
In truth I would see GT2RS as more the car to be comparing Pista with in terms of performance and driving sensations. But I would again say the TT is the better car for town use than both....but it ends there.

Bit of a silly comparison. Compare the Pista to the GT2RS, Mac 675LT / 600LT, Performante, Speciale, etc. The more hardcore, track oriented, cars.
TT is almost in its own world for me. It's 2+2. GT. Comfortable. Rocketship in a straight line. Decent / sporty around bends but not a go-kart. AWD, could be a year arounder/ DD. Great sound with Burm. Great fit and finish. Can fly under the radar - much lower level of attention. Best at all of that stuff. for me.

I think its really comparing apples to oranges. From my own experience between the Turbo and my Huracan, The TTS is just such a well engineered all around performer. Even though it out performs my huracan probably in most categories, The visceral feeling in the Huracan is so much better at any speed....acceleration is maybe .1 seconds slower but it feels so much more violent and satisfying....I expect with the Pista its even more so. You can also compare a P100D that out performs all cars Zero to 60...however, the car I drove while pretty awesome, it was kind of empty to me and also the owner made the same admission. Really boils down to what you want...classical music or Rock-n-roll....I love them both but would never compare them.
