Guys an opportunity came up to switch up my 997 GTS (11) for Turbo 991 (14, not S).... my GTS has a heck of a lot more option (mostly creature comforts / interior aesthetics)
I have been redirected TWICE, I just want to know What say you guys? I LOVE my GTS (only considering cause warranty is about to expire and Turbo has a lot less miles,,, ,10K less to be exact). I use my GTS as my daily driver, wondering IF the Turbo as comfortable for a daily driver? and how does it do on gas?

Whats the verdict ?


I REALLY appreciate all of your opinions.
Thanks in advance.

Just the difference in acceleration would blow your mind. The ride and handling of the 991tt is superior than any 997 I've driven or owned to date.... far better balanced overall. 991tt also has less tire roar intrusion. I recall my 997 S was less economical than my 997tt and the 991tt is similar to the 997tt. My past 911's were all manuals but 991tt's pdk is superb. I truly can't see myself going back to a manual now it is really that good. I see even most of the staunch 991GT3 guys are saying much same about their pdk's. Both boxes beautifully matched to the dynamics of the new cars. Take a 991tt for a good drive and then tell us how good your GTS is lol. Btw is your gts manual or PDK? 2wd or awe? It won't affect the outcome but just curious.

Turbo is a great daily driver. Not as good on gas than 997 GTS.
Two very different cars. The naturally aspirated engine of the GTS is great and the sound is way better than the turbo stock. The acceleration of the turbo is mind blowing.

Drive the turbo and make a decision. Both great cars.

Sold my GTS for a TTS two weeks ago. I'm sure it's pretty similar to the TT. Very comfortable as a daily and about twice as fast. Seriously. It makes my Italia seam somewhat lagging it's so fast up front

I agree with the above three posts.
991 much better platform than 997.
Add a Turbo to the 991 and it's a WAY better car with possible exception
of exhaust sound (taste), mileage (not much less), and perhaps a little less sharp throttle response.

for the love of everything holy sell your GTS and get yourself a TT...no better DD. You will need to smack the smile off your face at the second traffic light with the TT, and lets be honest no one gives a rat's *** about fuel economy when you buy any 911?

OP re the economy; I find around town both turbo's (997 and 991) have generally been more economical than my 997S atmo if not by a great deal. Where atmo 997 was producing consistently 16/17 even 18 litres per 100 the 997tt was 15/16 at max in the same conditions/route. The 991tts does appear on the econo meter to drink more than the 997tt but I cant help but notice I am filling the same amount of fuel between fills for the same mileage traveled. This indicates to me econo-meter is either incorrect or, is more accurate than the 997tt's was. Anyway drive the 991TT. I'm really surprised you haven't already tbh as it would save you asking what you are. For any 997 owner to say the 997 turbo is the better car simply hasn't driven the new one, is lying that they have, or doesn't have the coin to change up.

I have consistently been getting 20 MPG and that is incredible to me because I am working this car to perform. Hard to believe and gas now here in FL (93 oct) is $2.47 a gallon. Great time to own a Porsche.

Yes gas prices have also fallen here to record lows too, which is an added bonus, but the economy and performance is sensational. The car is such a well sorted package....I look forward to every time i get behind the wheel.

Upgraded my C2 cab after lease was up to a 15TT cab- my dream car finally. Only thing I miss is the sound. Even the base 991 with PSE sounds so great. If there was only a way to get that great sound on my TT it would best of both worlds!

While I loved my GTS, I haven't missed it since going with my TT. I did modify the exhaust on the TT to try and match the sound of the PSE on the GTS.

Don't drive one unless you are ready to do it.

Most importantly make sure the TT has chrono. If not, I wouldn't bother.
