This is a no-brainer... Go for the TTS!
I recently traded a C4 GTS for a TT and the TT simply eats the GTS alive. The GTS had its good traits, but its 408 HP and lighter weight made no difference...
Plus the Turbo is quieter and more versatile.

Too bad one cannot get the TTS with a manual, and a Targa top, and a...

911mhawk has a bunch of valid points.
I personally feel as if 136k is too much for a 2015. Whatever floats your boat though. Money comes, money goes. Do what makes you happy.
FWIW my .2 GTS with a ECU flash and exhaust is faster than a TTS in a drag race and I'm sure it would be quicker around a track given the weight and OEM suspension goodies.
good luck to you.

You've not being paying attention kind Sir!! I certainly have
Smoking deal on a used Cobb AP. Only doing the OTS Stg. 2 - 93oct. tune for the moment, but lookin for a custom tune sometime soon.
Gotta stop there though... I don't have it like most of you "Ballers" in here do! LOL

Make that a somewhat heavily modded GTS vs. what I can only assume is a completely Stock 991.1 TTS. Expected? Not really, but given the newer cars, I can see it. Impressive ? Not really against a stock TTS. Add same mods to TTS, and now we're back to how it should be.

Porsche Exclusive is where unique custom ordered, one-off vehicles and special models are built. These cars utilize Porsches highest level of fit and finish. It is where custom colors for paint and leather are created and applied or crafted into rolling works of art. Bespoke is the new trendy word for highly personalized items or cars.
The Programs name has evolved from Special Wishes/Request to Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.

I have a 2015 991 CS4 cab. Looking at trading it in for a 2015 Turbo S Cab. Both have approx 20k miles.
My trade in was offered at 80k and the selling price of the Turbo S is $136k.
Is the Turbo S Cab worth the 56k upgrade?
Thx
(my msrp was $142 and the Turbo S was $204 back in 2015)

Definitely agree that a stock TTS with just headers or cat deletes would even things right back up.. If not, be faster.. Let alone a tune... Either way, I love playing with TTS 911's.. They're better sports than the typical Carrera drivers and are almost always willing to give it a run..
Interestingly. The 3.0 and 3.8 TT cars have nearly identical looking exhaust setups.. The IPD plenum off the TTS is a direct bolt on to the 3.0tt.. Fairly similar engines.

I wouldn't call it "heavy modded". 2 exhaust components and a flash.. My GTS is heavily optioned including glass roof and front axle lift.. I weight 220 and my passenger 200.. Both TTS were stock and were driver only.

Glad to know the 3.0's can be that quick with a few mods!! Impressive.
Yes, us TTS owners love to "Play"

But if you say it happened I'll go with that.

Btw, were these races from a Dig? Or a roll?

Both were from a 50/60 roll. When both cars hit the throttle they pull equally with my car beginning to edge away by 4th gear at approx 100mph. I even made a thread here a couple months back on one of my encounters.. was hoping to find a local TTS friend.
1/4 mile on stage 1 93 octane my car did a 11.08 @128. 60ft was at 1.7 with a hair of spin.
I've gone back to the track with a stage 2 map and wasnt able to do better. Unfortunately we have one of the worst tracks in the country.
for reference.. Heres a couple interesting videos of some local guys running their GT3 and TTS in some races. One is even at the same track that I ran at.
I know this one is not scientific as they're not racing each other but rather just comparing speedometers.. Heres another clip that claims their flash adds 80hp to the gts.. GTS vs Turbo S
