Offer me a straight trade on a 992 TTS. Nope. Still wouldn’t. 992 has no value for me.
Of course you would take the trade - you would take a 992 TTS - turn around and sell it - buy a 2018 991 TTS for $170K and a Golf R stick $50K and put $20K towards a vacation .

Nope. I *want* my ‘15 TT and I wouldn’t trade it. I like the .1s more than the .2s. So, why would I trade for anything? If someone offered me $250k for my .1, I’d consider it, but might not do it. For $500k, sure, I’ll let it go, I guess. Somewhere in between is ‘my number.’

I have *zero* use for a Golf. I have an MT 718T that would do whatever a “Golf stick” can. And anything that it can’t, that a Golf can, we have a Macan Turbo.

As far as a vacation is concerned, if I had any time…

And add to the fact that the only cars I *want* at this point is a Pagani or a 6/7-speed Vantage V12. Or both. But, need more garage.

I suppose I could be convinced to entertain a Koenigsegg.

But none of those would replace my .1 TT.

My post was kinda tongue in cheek. I would hazard a guess that 99 out of 100 people would sell their 9 year old .1 Turbo for $250K - which is what I was saying tongue in cheek. You may be that 1 out of 100 that wouldn't - special order, sentimental value etc. I am not attached to my cars like that. Yeah, I may not sell for $25K over what its market "value" is. But i would certainly sell for $125K over.

I'm not bashing the .1's - I have one.. . And i really like it. But if i had no 991 Turbo and i was shopping. I'd get a .2..

And FYI - your 718 can't carry 4 people - which a Golf R can do. But your Macan can - and they are pretty cool.

I finally watched this last night as I was browsing through my Watch History for something else. His review was adequate, but yeah, it was hilarious watching him talk up the 992 at first, then realize how plain and kinda basic bitch it is. He steps into that gorgeous TS and instantly starts beaming. It's pretty much how I felt when I got into my .2 TT the first time, from my .1 C2. I literally couldn't believe it was 'still' a 991. As he said and I've agreed since buying mine, 991.2 is peak Porsche. We'll never get something this good again, regardless of the model down their range.

I don't see any way I would sell my modified 991.2 911 Turbo with only 22k miles on it.
My modifications are perfect for my tastes and still not highest risk. I left my stock base turbos alone for better response and less risk of breaking something.
An aggressive COBB Stage 3 93 octane tune from Sam @ByDesign was the finishing touch for 780 crank HP and good throttle response. And reliability!
Lovin this!
But I did just get my new loaded custom-ordered CGTS 4.0, my 13th Porsche since 1970, for my more mundane daily driving and shopping. With 2 trunks, it's hard to beat for a retired Porsche guy who is the shopper of the house. It is a blast for around town drives.

What other mods do you have on your car to get that HP? I'm in talks with Sam to get something tuned up for my car.

I don't have experience with other exhaust systems on 911's but I put a Fabspeed on my 991.1 TT which woke it right up. Not too loud either! Which I was afraid of.

To paraphrase Smith & Wesson:

You can have my turbo when you pry it out of my cold, dead, hands...
