Interesting. I've always (where "always" means over the past 6 or 7 months I've been shopping) thought the non-sport looked better too. I like the square pipes. Just wondering if I'm missing out on the sound, or missing out on something else. Or perhaps compromising what future buyers might expect.
Hard to say. Turbos usually sound like crap.
I actually like the dual oval exhausts - it's what's on my 993, so it matches.
over MSRP for GT cars yeah! but for Turbo S I never ever heard ...price will drop within two years just wait for pre owned.
this is just an artifact of the very first allocations dribbling in. Squeeze a little more out of folks who just have to be first. Once they get to the full production a quarter or so later, these will disappear. I expect 992 carrera style discounts within a year. eg a couple % below MSRP
So do we think regular 992 turbo will match last gen Turbo S performance-wise? These cars are bonkers.
there were rumors about that, which nailed the 640hp here so yeah I’d give them credence. The 992 doesn’t have or need overboost, so actually it’s probably going to end up a smidge faster.
I will need to drive it to decide. On paper, the difference from 991.2 is rather small - no fundamentally new tech or big improvements. I know power jump is large, and there is one extra gear, but it's almost never relevant in real life. If it feels better, more like GT cars, I'll get one for sure. One thing I like about the 992 is that some of the mods that were almost essential on 991.2 (exhaust, DSC and/or springs) are now available as factory options and they addressed intercooler deficiencies, it seems. But I addressed it via mods very easily on 991.2, so it's not a strong argument.
In all honesty I don't get the Burmeister "must have" in a low riding, significant road noise sports car. Especially if you add sport exhaust or after market one.
Do the tweeter upgrade to the Bose system it is worth it.
Can you please elaborate on the tweeter upgrade? Im not familiar with it but definitely interested.

I miss the Burmester. I have a GT3 and honestly, I also miss AWD...maybe it's time to get a Turbo S.
My build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PMLI38C6 Im hearing the Aerokit (similar to the 991.2's) will be available in a few months.. So I will def add that on as well in High Gloss Black..
So, wrt some of the builds posted, are folks pretty much in agreement that the sport exhaust is pretty much a must-have?
IMHO yes. I liked my 991.1 TTS a lot but I found the car wasn’t visceral enough - so I had it lowered with Eibach springs and almost put an exhaust on it before trading it for a 993 TT and ordering a PTS Targa 4S (with pse) to cover all bases....but now this car appears to have it all.

There is a Musicar tweeter upgrade for 991 cars for Bose systems that enhances the sound significantly. I can only believe there will be one for the 992 eventually. Also if you spec Sport exhaust spending on Burmeister seems a waste.

I'm willing to bet there's quite a discrepancy in performance between the 991.2 and the 992.1 Turbo S cars.
"Quite a discrepancy" meaning .1-.2 gain 0-60 and .2-.3 gain in the 1/4 mile...that's certainly a difference when we're already talking 2.6-2.7 and mid 10's on the 991.2, respectively... i.e. 60hp gain, that's car lengths in any type of race
