My ideal color would be the non metallic grey that used to be on the older gt3RS that had the red wheels /red decals. Not sure the technical name for it. That color with black wheels/emblems ,no chrome to be found

1949Ford, I think the color is grey black, code 7A1. Of course as is rennlist, someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Used 2015 TTS in this color at Porsche Colorado Springs btw, no affiliation, but it's got the multifunction wheel, no paddles (but paddles CAN be retrofit with some mild-moderate effort). Food for thought.

Looking at the photos of the car at Colorado Springs it seems Grey Black is too dark. Perhaps the color he is looking for is Nardo Grey.

Hard to tell though with colors looking over or under exposed.

OP should check out the CPO car you suggested. Rare pre owned car could be the winner.

What surprised me most about my car wasn't the performance. Don't get me wrong, the acceleration and handling are both impressive. The amazing thing is the everyday drivability. Around town, the rise is firm but very comfortable and surprisingly the "frunk" can swallow a load of groceries from the supermarket. It is also not so low that it scrapes on every speed bump. (Although I do take care going over them) I am really impressed that a car so easily drivable can also do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds and high 10 qtr mile!

I love the look of it, particularly LT but with 650 after driving one it was left wanting in a few key areas for me. Fast though. A lot more presence than the tts.
So funny. All the Porsche owners love the 488, while pure Ferrari owners all bemoan the 488's sound and the turbos.

As for the original question, I think that the key is to get the car with the options you want for the price you want. The only thing you cannot get with a 991 TT vs TTS is the extra HP. People otherwise could option up a TT to S spec.

Congrats. You may want to consider going to the Porsche Driving School to get the most out of your Turbo.

Where are the photos of your new car?
