Help! Targa 4 or Targa 4 GTS
#47
I do not have alcantara or CLs on my GTS, and I love the Black Targa bar, with the Miami Blue emblem...giddy-up!

Just changed my order to add PDLS+. I have to stop reading this forum or I will end up with PCCBs as well!
Imagine if the Porsche configurator had an "order now" button and these changes could be made online? Drunk Porsche building would be very expensive.

So I have changed my config again. https://www.porsche.com/microsite/po...px?c=/PK7E7HZ0 Went GT Silver. I thought I wanted the basic 4 way seats but now I am trying to understand what the 18 way memory seats get me. I know there are the basic seat settings, mirrors and then the comfort access seat movement but what are the individual settings with the PCM I will be missing out on? I will be the only driver (my wife will drive it rarely). And input from those that only have the 4 way and those with the 18 way would be greatly appreciated!

To me the 4 ways are comfortable and suportive. I never find myself wishing I had anything else. I dont feel like I am shorted in any way. I get in and my seat is where I left it in a comfortable settting. What more could I want?

At at the end of the day, if the budget required me to choose, I wouldn’t hesitate go with the 4 ways in order to allow other options to be included in the build.

I keep going over the configurator and can't seem to find anything I want or need to add to the car. I like the simplicity of my build. Leather is the only possibility but I have two dogs that will be travelling with me (crazy, I know) and while they are very well behaved I worry that one wayward paw would scratch the leather on a door or dash. And with a black interior full leather has the least impact.
Here are the ladies that will be riding with me.
As an asside, It may only be a big city issue but its really annoying visiting these dealers to find that they all have very few 911s on the lot, most of them are stored off site and appointments are needed to see them. Lots of Cayennes and Macans though.

By the way, cute pups !

Yes. Also, it will probably be less expensive to dealer install the X51 PowerKit later, for less money, especially if you catch one on sale. I found the lowest sale price in the country and my dealer matched it. That's what I did, selling my S Turbo takeoffs with 1400 miles for $3200. So my net dealer installed cost was $3800 + tax. Last time I looked in the online PCNA Configurator, the X51 PowerKit is $7000 plus court $7000 in required penance options. Just be sure to order and all the other performance stuff on an S, so nothing else needs to be added for the X51 PowerKit install. And a dealer-installed X51 carries full Porsche new car warranty, not just the 2 year Porsche
parts warranty.
parts warranty.

I do not think so. I was under same situation last november and finally ordered the 4S due to the extra HP and rear axle steering. Just receive the car rhia weekend and still on learning process...
I need a little guidance. I am in Canada and looking for a new Targa. They are limited here and most of the builds are loaded and crazy expensive (and have PDK).
I have found a new Guards Red Targa 4 with limited options and a build I like (I think I would only have added sport chrono) build code http://www.porsche-code.com/PKILMW73 I am concerned I would like more performance and had hoped to find a similar 4S.
So I did an ideal build on a 4S (again, limiting the options and cost) and there is nothing available. My dealer came back and pointed out that for an extra $4000 I could get a Targa 4 GTS (they have an allocation being built mid May). So, this is the stripper build for the GTS I came up with http://www.porsche-code.com/PK3ZLDN1
Dealers here are really annoying with their lack of discounts. I have “negotiated” a $5000 CAD discount on both cars. This really is a case of creeping commitment. I'm good with the $159k for the 4 and was willing to stretch to $178k for the 4S but the GTS is $183
To my questions - Is the Targa GTS “worth” $24,000 more than the Targa 4? Am I missing anything on the stripped down GTS build that should make me rethink this? What is the $24,000 getting me on the GTS that the 4 doesn’t have other than bigger brakes, sport chrono and 80 hp? Do I really need the extra performance?
Sorry for throwing this out on my first post. I have been hanging around here for a while soaking up everyone’s knowledge, unfortunately I don’t feel any smarter! 😊
Thanks,

Only you can answer that question and if you are able to drive them all, look at the options, etc. it would be an easier decision. Personally, I thought it was worth the money to get the GTS but money is relative so that may or may not apply to you. I figured that if I am going to spend as much as I was on a car why not get exactly what I want. And I still wound up spending about $20k after buying it
