I agree it needs to be spec-d correctly but I have driven pretty much all of the carrera variants and there is some pixie dust there. Whether its just the right combo of stuff, software, etc I cant say.

Do you think it could be attributed to the shorter gear ratios of the T? I’d imagine it’s a bit quicker off the line compared to the base

Honestly, if you dont care about carbon bucket seats then buy a carrera or carrera s and just add a tune. Unless you are tracking your car you won't notice the fluff of a carrera t on the street.

In this case I agree with most of the others that AWD is the way to go, specifically because of your power mod plans. If we put OEM options aside, would you agree that the most economical way forward is the most inexpensive C4 (not even an S model) in transmission of your choice? If you're upgrading all the bolt ons anyway, why pay for the S or GTS models? I understand if you want RAS or other unique OEM options, but if it's about purity of power and all wheel drive, I would think even a high mileage 991.2 C4 is the way to go?

And I like what someone said about the baby Turbo S idea - you could have Turbo S power and 7MT!!!! That would be fun.

Thats the exact reason I bought my manual 2017 GTS. I wanted a "manual baby turbo s". Unfortunately, after dumping all the money into it the results didnt yield the experience a NA Porsche does. Again this is for me and I track my cars.

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that your modded GTS doesn't have the appeal of a GT3? Or are you referring to some other NA Porsche?

p.s. Hi Driv200. We miss you in the EvoM Motorsports forum. I'm in the market for a 911 too, but my Evo RS isn't going anywhere. I'm EVO8LTW on EvoM, BTW.

The 991.2 lacks the sound and the power delivery takes away from the driving experience. Specifically, all the torque coming in so low means you don't have to rev it out like you do in the NA car.

RichJ_cars

I see, but if you are talking about modifying a car with an aftermarket tune, you can actually shape the torque curve to act like an NA car. You are limited in how much torque you can add throughout the rev range, but you can always take away torque down low by dropping boost, timing or both.

ofcourse, but even with all the exhaust mods in the world i couldn't live with the vacuum cleaner sounds

Kind of funny a funny comment for "supraguy" screenname, but as a GT350 owner looking to pick up a 911 this spring, I understand what you are saying. If you were doing it again, what would you buy?

flsupraguy

Owned a MKIV supra back in the day before they were the fad. I LOVE the GT350. If I were more of an "average Joe" in financial terms and all my limit was 70kish for a car it would be GT350 all day. Anyhow, when ot comes to a 911 nothing replaced a GT3. If you don't plan to track your car a 991.1 GTS or 4s (widebody) is the best. Just my .02

Love the feedback. My eyes are blurry from all my online Porsche shopping. I love every .2 I come across. Each has its special thing. The T keeps making the short list, but one with correct options is near GTS territory. Thought about the base C4 non S versions, then learned they don’t have correct differential. Someone mentioned above about the T not having something…??? Anyway, I’m close. Think I’m leaning C4S for the love affair I have with a great ***. If the right T falls in my lap with LWBS & RAS, then so be it. All my saved cars are in free fall(price) at the moment due to slow sales. First thing Biden has done that helps me. 😂 But, slowing down my private C8 listing too.
I like all the tune talk on here, but can’t believe so few videos that actually exist on YouTube. The same 3 or 4 are all there is. Keep searching for more. And most are Brits. Where are all the American guys??? Don’t send me any. I have seen all of them. And nothing against the Brits. I love when you all say “Its just mental this thing”LOL.
Have a great week guys! Send me your Pcar pics and your favorite mod. I need a reason to check this thread everyday. Thanks all. Be safe.

Check out Instagram. 911atx is good one. Alex documents his build and has tons of good content. He has a modded 991.2 C4S.

Driv200

Fantastic. Thank you! Sub'd.

I read conflicting ideas. On one hand you want all this power. On the other, you mention track days, autocross and drives with PCA. If you want to be competitive in Autocross, you need to first figure out what category you want to run under before you start modding. I'm also not sure bigger turbos with more lag are going to help you there. If you want to track your car, and I presume road course and not 1/4 mi., you ought to think about reliability issues. And lastly, going out for drives with PCA won't enable you explore the kind of power you're aiming for. Have you actually gone out and driven some of these cars so you can get a feel for what you're dealing with? Sometimes numbers on a piece of paper are meaningless and it's always a good idea to be clear about your intended use.
