Keep in mind that this vehicle is a Euro-spec, so it has the particulate filter that alters the exhaust note.

I thought i was having some kind of disconnect with reality ... it was a Porsche Turbo.. but it was not.......
Long story short, it was the one and only 992 Turbo S in USA and touring the reviewers circle. Talked to the journalist/test-driver a bit and then he launched off promising me to show off its prowess.....
The thing flew off ...... ! And the thing is Beautiful! sculpted to perfection....
BUT Sound? Ummm .....😳 maybe he did not have the sport exhaust button on? .. .. .... 😳😳😳




I thought Gov. MoonBeam had you all on 'lock down', 'stay at home', police state mode???!!!

Beautiful TTS and love what you've done to your car - no slouch either!

Stay healthy.

No slouch at all ... Wild car when above 5k RPM...even more so above 6500 to 9k!!! .. but IMO the TTS has its own Brilliance and Wildness ...Probably for more people(!!!), everyday conditions and canyon roads (safer).
Do not underestimate the AWD ..neither from safety or performance standpoints !!!
It is brilliant (I personally loved it)
and im comparing the RS on wider
Cup 2s vs the TTS on SS or 4S .. which, imo, indicates even more of the TTS’s prowess!

And the sheer joy of the blast off the line, the low end torque and relentless acceleration..( experience from renting a 991.2 TTS Cab)
Add on top ( for me) the cabriolet experience.... and it is a total blast ...

Sound,Rawness and RPM range ...!!!!!!
(and breaking and aero, in extreme track conditions).........To me, that is where the big dividing lines are.


Porsche , Grrrrrrrr... two brilliant cars .. same look almost.. yet so different...
Teeter tottering.. .. ..
I already have my build for a 992 TTS . .. If i ever go in that direction... Black and Cab it will be for sure..
Without the Cab experience I would not even consider it !

( ps.. for some reference point...... on my RS i have 11500 miles in one year, 4 sets of Tires. 75% canyons and 7 track events and some city/everyday driving )

You all take care.. this shall pass too
