Seems like the 991 forum says no and the 992 forum leans yes - no surprise. I commented on the 992 side and I am torn. On the one hand the 991 platform is so good - and even more so with mods. Only reason for me is to do a 992 is a bucket list spec and order it to my liking. A Yolo thing. Right now I would consider doing that in the summer. But car ADD means you can change your mind.

 

"Only reason for me is to do a 992 is a bucket list spec and order it to my liking.

VERY valid reason for getting a 992 !

 

My financial situation is neutral. Everything I had/have I've worked for.

I have my own investments and work my *** off, but not money to throw away by any means.
I think I'll drive my friends 992, see how much he wants and go from there.

Thanks everyone for the comments here. I appreciate them all.

 

Money neutral, I'd take the 992.

If it took another $50k to get into the 992, pass.

That $50k could turn your 992.2 into a wicked, dream machine. Bolt on power, suspension, wheels & interior upgrades.

 

I think unless your friend offers you a really good deal - here's the math I would think. Its likely a $230K car (I'm sure he didnt scrimp on options). the market is hot and if he has low miles he could get $220K lets say. Your car to sell - maybe $160K. So bank on $60K to upgrade. Give or take $10K.

I think driving it and seeing the deal is a good path fwd. If it wows you to the tune of $60K + your car - then you'll know the answer.. No bad choices here. You know that spending even half of $60K on your car will be a fun exercise.

 

I'm in a vaguely similar situation, kind of... but my car is only worth about $80-90K depending if I trade it in or sell it on my own. I put down a refundable $1000 for an allocation that could available in June/July I'm told at my local dealer. I've never picked out a new car from scratch from a configurator and order it to my liking. I specced out a $230k car so the delta for me would be more like $170k PLUS my car by the time I figure in taxes and $6k for a full PPF.

Not sure if the #'s are working for me in my head since I LOVE my current car. The other option would be to get a 2019 991 Turbo S. Decision, decisons...

Good luck with your decision. Mine is ... keep this, it's only got 28k miles, and pick up a used 992 Turbos S in 3 years....


vs... this, for ... $170k more - right now.

 

I'm also in the "not a super fan of the 992" boat. In my 3 sq mile town, there are a few 991 turbo S and I believe 2 992 turbo S. Everytime I see a 992, my eyes don't light up like they do a 991.2. In my opinion, it has a blah front end but cool rear end. With that said, my suggestion is to keep your 991.2, mod it a bit and enjoy your reliable and proven car until something else comes out that blows your mind. Even the 997.2 turbo S looks fantastic so hang on to it brother.

 

@steve 96C4S - your car is gorgeous!
@emeka - thanks for your opinion.

 

More then likely going to cost you at least 50k.

I would definitely wait for 992.2.

10-20k between exhaust and tuning options will make you very happy.

I just purchased a 991.2 and did full catless Akrapovic exhaust, intercoolers and tune. Almost 700 wheel horsepower. I definitely would not trade it for a 992 of any spec.

 

Dyno ?

 

I don’t trust any dyno except MAHA. My buddy in Germany has the same build though and on ms109 on Maha dyno shows 694 WHP.

Our draggy times are almost identical in this nice cool weather as well.

- Catless turbo back Akrapovic exhaust
​​​​- CSF intercoolers
- protomotive custom tune

 

Excellent. What type of Dragy numbers are you getting !

 

I don’t really launch the car but do plenty of 60 to the moon runs, I have personally seen 5.83 - 6.05. 60-130s

 

Awesome power ! Well done !

 

I say 992. Lets face it in some period of time many of us here on the 991 TTS forum will end up with the 992 TTS. I mean didn't many people here have 997 TTS? It is like a stepping stone. Imo. I know I want one.
