I have a 997.2 Turbo S PTS Azzuro Blue Metallic I have decide to trade in on a Targa GTS Carmine Red. I loved my Turbo S except it sounds nothing like it runs. Most boring Rocketship I have ever driven. Considered putting a Europipe on the car till I saw the Targa GTS can't wait for this fall to get here.

I had a similar dilemma recently, the first-est of first-world problems! . Short story: wanted a GTS, ended up deciding on an MT Targa GTS, dealer I’d been working with couldn’t get one soon, offered me a great deal on a new turbo, close in price to the Targa GTS.
I ended up going with the Targa. I looked at several turbos, test drove a couple but realized that even if the really, really nice turbo s that was perfectly optioned was the same price as the Targa GTS, I’d pick the Targa GTS.
The manual transmission, Targa design and possible last-of-breed engine were the things that did it for me. The turbo was great but not enough of a change to justify switching from my current 991 C2. (Somehow, I’ve justified that the Targa GTS *is* enough of a difference!)
The Targa is the car I admired as a ten-year-old and, thirty years later, it’s time to get one. According to the build schedule, mine (http://www.porsche-code.com/PGLTDP15) should be exiting the factory today!

in which I cannot even APPROACH the capabilities of on a public road and stay out of jail.
I enjoy the features of the NA engine described in this thread. The 997 chassis and handling cannot compare to the 991. However, I miss the massive torque shove of the Turbo. Boost is addictive. That is why I am returning to the TT fold later this year. (991TTS)
