No it's not. But if you have it, it's a great way to spend it. My favorite 911 ever.

6-8% is pretty good for a custom order. Not too long ago you could get 10-13% or more off a Turbo S if it had been on the lot for a while.

Is any high performance car like the TTS really worth it, regardless of the Marque? Really just a matter of opinion. If you buy one, apparently, the answer for you is "yes."

The beautiful stance (wide body, the wing, side air scope, etc) alone worth the price of admission.
Try to park them side by side, even the wider back on carreras 4 will still look narrow.

Definately yes, go to another s makes no sense.

No, the turbo (tts in my experience) is a bit firmer than both of my previous 991 C2 and 991_50th.
Both car has pasm, no pdcc, and both equipped with pccb.
TTS has pasm, pccb, and pdcc but still a bit firmer (say 5-10%), all cars were within their recommended comfort tire pressure.
One more thing to note as I never seen it mentioned by other Turbo/s owners, all 4 tires on turbo/s are warmed by hot air which I believe coming from engine's heat. The tires get hotter (=firmer ride) faster than carreras.
I did not notice them on my previous carreras, or at least never felt the strong warm air blows.
