Default Upgraded to Turbo S from Targa 4S

Ok just my second day with my Turbo S and this car literally scares the begeezuz out of me. I say that tongue in cheek but I can't believe some people want to Mod a Turbo S to go faster. Crazy! It's really an amazing car, loved the Targa, I'm obsessed with the Turbo S. Glad I chose Ice Grey it's just such a nice color and really different thatn most every other color. My Targa was Chalk and my 991.2 GTS Coupe was GT Silver, all great colors. I really checked a lot of upgrade boxes because this will most likely be my last 911 and I may hang on to it a while.

So after a couple weeks owning my Turbo S a couple notes.
1.) The power is amazing. I haven't really let loose as I'm attempting to break the car in. But it's scary fast and the torque is eye opening.
2.) I am really thrilled with the appearance. The Ice Grey Metallic with the carbon fiber roof and gloss black. highlights of the Sport Pkg really stand out. I'm biased but have had several people ask me about the color and telling me how great it looks.
3.) I think my favorite upgrades are the interior upgrades, specifically the stitching package (pebble grey on black). I also checked just about every leather upgrade and the fit and finish feel of the interior is 1st rate. I especially like the extended leather on doors and dash and the threshold leather.
4.) Braking with the PCCB brakes feels so different. I've heard you need to be a little aggressive braking to seat the brakes. The car stops on a dime.
5.) Front axle lift. Never thought much about this on previous cars but I checked the box on this one. The GPS function and automatic use from memory is great. I have a couple viscious speed bumps at my office and the car never forgets about them.
6.) Burmeister-big upgrade from Bose. Again my previous 911's never gave it a second thought but the Turbo S has much less road noise and the Burmeister is really nice,probably not necessary but I'm glad I have it.
7.) Sport Pkg wheels are one of the reasons I opted for the sport package. Love the look of these wheels.

Overall this is an amazing car. Probably the best choice I could of made and close to perfect for my wants and needs. I'm a huge fan of Porsche products and they knocked the cover off the ball with the Turbo S.
After owning several 911's in the past. I've determined nobody really needs a Turbo S. I'm not going to track it, my previous 992 Targa 4S and 991.2 GTS coupe had plenty of power and panache. But the Turbo S is in a class by itself and I'm happy to experience owning one.

You’ll eventually get used to speed, but do be careful!

Barely,the Transport truck broke down in Texas for 7 days. It was a long trip but both the dealer and Transport company handled everything great.

Awesome specs! Congrats!

I'd love to see a Turbo Targa! Rumors were a Porsche family member had a 991.1 made after the 991 Targa was released....

I never get tired of just looking at it in the garage. We are all spoiled a bit.
