Have you driven TTS ? Try launch mode, and tell me you can't use all the power,
Almost nothing will even be close 0 to 60mph.
On the road course, yes all the power is used.
And yes you can use all the power on the street,

I guess it depends on what you want, where your street is and how comfortable you are speeding on public roads. So you're at 60 in 3 seconds. Then what? For me, I learned I enjoyed shifting the gears myself in the GTS more than worrying about how fast I was going in the TT, because it was always faster than I thought.
That's why I'm keeping the Boxster and trading the TT for a boat. But I'm older and like the new combo better for my lifestyle. This is not at all to say the TT/TTS aren't some the very best cars available anywhere - they certainly are and a relative bargain as a realistic alternative to other supercars (and solidly reliable with a huge dealer network). I learned they just aren't for me at this point in my life.

What boat you buying

Keadog

S550 4Matic Sedan. I think they lay the keel next week.

Can't see anyone paying $145k for that car, but I am honestly really rooting for you!!

Keadog

You could be right; that's why I only traded/ordered with a guaranteed floor value for the car and a nice discount on the Benz order. I'm still getting creamed (even if it does sell at $145K), but life is short and as the weather started getting nicer, I was always picking up the Boxster keys.
Thanks.

I'm just about to put my 14 TTS on the market, and it's not looking like I can get $145k, but let's continue to hope for a shortage on these and a mad rush! I'm getting crushed right there with you, but what else are we gonna do!

Keadog

Well good luck! I may get flamed, but I believe I'm entitled to say that the Boxster is just more fun for me to drive having owned both side by side.

My DD is a Mercedes GL63 AMG. It's also a boat, but I really love driving, too. Different weapons for different situations!

Visceral

I didn't go full-boat, just the E63 wagon as my DD. But it does run high 11's at the drag strip stock

(and sounds better than my 911TTS).

Ran across this thread so thought I would share my recent decision. Just traded my '15 TTS MSRP ~$195k. 11k miles and dealer has it CPO'd for $152k. Expel full front, OptiCoat, flawless TTS wheels with new P Zeros. Rhodium Silver, Cognac/Espresso with deviated carpet, CF illuminated sills, Burmester, etc. Awesome car. Also have OEM set of flawless TTS wheels factory mounted with Sotto Zero Winter tires with less than 2k miles and TPMS sensors (not included in dealer offering). No modifications.

Loved the car, but liked driving my Panamera GTS more every day so got a great deal on a '16 Panamera GTS to replace my '13 PGTS. Since driving a GT3 at Barber in Nov. I was thinking of trading the TTS and got on the list for a 991.2 GT3. May get a Spyder with PCCB's and full buckets for the wait. TTS is an amazing car that is faster and easier to drive fast than just about anything else made, but love the NA engines.

Visceral

I do agree with the NA appeal, but I also would like a RWD convertible manual-transmission car to go with the NA, so I'm also looking around at Boxster Spyders to supplement my current selection (and replace the Miata, which at 6'3" I don't honestly fit in.)

I DD my TTS, and I wouldnt change a f&*^ing thing. I can see it right out my office window, where it makes me very happy, and the drive to and from home, even in traffic with the ACC, is one of the best times of my day.

Keadog

I just got an email from my SA at Mercedes Benz North Olmsted that the TT next door has sold and my S550 just passed the Azores, due into Baltimore 4/8/16.
Bernie Moreno has been incredibly transparent, fair and always (and I mean always) available and responsive. I simply could not have been treated more fairly.
Anyone here buy the TT? It was a great car for me, just not a perfect fit for what I wanted.
I guess I should get around to changing my avatar.

Keadog

Picked up the S class from the detailer this AM and changed my avatar, officially closing my turbo era (unless they bring back a manual transmission option).
