Default 991 Turbos, which spec would you pick

Hi All,

I'm currently looking at 2 2015 turbos, very similarly equipped. Both are Agate Greys. The difference is that one has agate grey interior (a bit plain perhaps?) and LED headlights (which I love.) The other has dual tone Black/Red which I like, but no LED headlights.

I will TechArt bodykit the car later, so there will be headlight rings covering around the headlight, therefore not sure if the full benefit and cool factor of the LED would be realized.

Would like to hear your opinion. Thanks in advance!

I think the red black looks better and will probably hold up better resale wise than the grey trim, which looks a bit bland against the Agate imo.

Resale wise black is more popular and easier to sell.

100% True. I actually have the black on my agate but I wouldn't knock back a two tone in the red/black as it still works quite well on the Agate. But if the choice was limited to the two OP has shown I would take the red/black over the grey any day of the week. I will never understand why Porsche does a grey car with grey trim. The grey is great in say a blue car but grey on grey is a wash out to my eyes.

Take red/ black with no question. I've got that color combo in an Agate TT and it really works.

I'd keep looking and get the car with everything you want. The LED lights are really fantastic!! I don't care much about the interior anyway. I ordered with simple black interior, but definitely jumped on the LEDs. Can you keep shopping around? There are plenty around the country for sale.

Question. I had a 2015 TTS Cab. It had a drone noise at 45mph. Really bothered me so I sold it and bought a Carrerra S Cab. Do any of your cars have the drone?

Sometimes, for a brief second at around 55, in 6th it drones for a second but then shifts to 7th where there is no drone for me.

It might be a resonance between the exhaust and the tire noise. But that's it.

+1 for the red/black interior, don't drive at night ALL the time, but you're inside ALL the time.
