I posted this on the Turbo site and got the predicted response. What do you guys think?

I am deciding between buying a used low mileage 2015 TTS when they get down to $150K in the next few months or ordering a new 2016 or 2017 C2S or C4S to get the manual. It won't be my DD. I currently have a 2013 M6 which has plenty of power, but is too big to have fun. Previously I owned a 2006 C4S Cab and a 1995 C4S Coupe

Not sure the .2 C4s will be out this year but I may be wrong.

TTS all day every day. Unless of course you want the upgraded infotainment in the 991.2.

2nd on the TTS, much better value and it will probably holds its resale value much better over the years. Plus it's a TTS!

Also I would point out this is basically an apple to orange comparison and unfair to the C4S which is an amazing car. TTS is in a different league and packs in all of Porsche's Motorsport know-how.

The only reason I didn't get another Turbo last year (would have been a 991TT, not TTS) was because I fell in love again with normally aspirated flat sixes. Since that is off the table and you're considering two different turbo motors...

Are you effing kidding us? A sub-10,000-mile $200,000+ Turbo or a new C4S? Even I, who love my GTS dearly (even more than I did my last Turbo) would buy a Turbo over a 991S if I was ordering right now.

Only thing that concerns me -- if you're looking for substantially lighter than your M6, Turbo is coming in about 3500#, iirc. Not sure you're going to feel that much difference there. But then the last BMW I drove was a raggedy '76 530i I had in college. I'm not really up on their feel lately.

MY 991.2 C4S is due 4/1.

The TT and C4S are different cars. Mine is a daily year round driver with no fixed wing.
I wouldn't drive a TT in the winter snows!-Richard

with the all wheel drive and snow tires, the TTS is excellent in the snow especially since it has the automatic mode which tones down the rpms and allows smooth driving...

Did you mean to bump a 2016 thread? lol

Hope all's well brother! Hope to see you at a P&C or event soon.

This thread from the Porsche Club GB 992 forum is worth read for prospective 992 owners:

Whilst my car wasn't as bad as the one in question, I did experience:

- alarm continually going off, complete with tracker company phone calls (at least the tracker worked)
- ACC errors
- Night Vision errors
- various rattles and squeaks
- a paint job that had been repaired at the factory before delivery but not very well - my detailer found poor finish and overspray at the rear of the car and I accepted £1,000 in compensation
