These comparisons really hammer home the point that the choice between the 992 generations of the TTS and GT3 should not come down to lap times (as if it ever did or should have), but more about how one wants to experience those lap times.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, a TTS makes you feel like a better driver than you are, while a GT3 makes you want to be a better driver than you are.

Both are great, and there's really no wrong choice. It just a matter of pure personal preference.

.5 of a second I think could certainly be made up by the Turbo S if you gave it Cup 2's!!

Not taking anything away from the GT3... I just love the Turbo platform and how good it is at Everything!!

I bet for most mere mortals (i.e., non-professional drivers), they would actually put down on a faster lap time with the TTS, even with inferior tires.

If I could get a new 992 GT3 Touring as well as a 992 Turbo S, after seeing this video... dang, I would. But I can only afford 1 new car. This video just blows me away, from one of my favorite reviewers. Dear g*d. Just... wow, what a cool car.

Get both.

Keep both.

When you sell both the Touring may cover some of the loss of the Turbo.
