If anyone wishes to read why I traded my 2012 997 GTS cab, 2007 C6 ZO6, and $$ for my 2017 991.2 GTS Targa, the reasons are (somewhat) set forth in detail in the following thread:

https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ttersweet.html

This is my first post in this forum. I have previously owned, among other sports cars, three other Porsche's: a 1990 964 Targa; 2009 997S cabriolet Launch Edition; and a 2012 997 GTS cabriolet PDK. I have owned my low mileage (3,100,) highly optioned 2017 ($168k sticker,) Agate Grey GTS Targa for one whole day. The car is truly impressive. Compared to the 997, the electronics are from a different century - this could be good or bad, but I love all the bells and whistles (see option list below). The interior is amazing, and I find the Targa is the most attractive 991 produced. This seems to be a different level of "sports car" from the 997, at least in the configurations I have owned. I still need to get acquainted with my Targa which will be tough because it is close to that time to put it in hibernation for the winter. Anyway, just saying hello to this new (to me) forum! I am thrilled with this car!!

Old car and new one

 

Wow nice build. Welcome. The 2012 you traded was no slouch, however you clearly bought a wonderful 911. If you enjoy torque expect to wear out tires . Try sport plus if you have chance, it's a whole new animal compare to the 997 and the 991.1.

 

This is very beautiful and elegant car, I love it, congrats.

 

Thank you

 

Love It!

Looking for one myself and going to have this done:

Feel free to beat me to it.

Cheers!

 

Congrats, looks great!

switch out those side markers to finish

 

I know. Can't believe they were not done. First thing I did on both my 997's

 

is it just me or is the 911 on your rear badge tilting down to the right?

 

VERY nice looking Targa. Enjoy it.

 

Congrats on your new rig.
I recently purchased a new 2019 Targa 4 GTS to compliment my 488.
I see you bought yours at Ferrari of LI.....bought my 488 from them.
Enjoy your new toy.

 

Congratulations looks beautiful! - I too moved from the 997 board (2011 C4S) over here about 1.5 years ago after purchasing my new to me 2015 Targa 4S ($182K sticker, so lot's of options...).

 

 

That is a crazy sticker price. How is that options (besides pccb's and the power kit) which would have to be on the car to get to that price? Must be an amazing build
