Hi everyone!
First I want to say I absolutely happy with my C4S 992. It's well equipped in spite it was bought from dealers inventory. Almost 8k km together for 4 months (absolute record for me and my wife), few track days and long trips - 911 always made me happy.
Now summer season is over and my car is ready for hibernation.
But my AD offered me allocation for heritage Targa. Only 7 cars for all Russian AD, its a good opportunity. I'm not sure I need targa, because it's heavier and targa has less space for rear passengers. Good match for my Speedster.
A very close price alternative to Targa is to buy Turbo. The advantages of Turbo are clear to everyone, but for me there is one significant drawback - I planned to leave space for maneuver after the release of 992.2
So, keep C4S and make next upgrade on 992.2 or try another 992.1?

Personally, I have found that once I get to the point of talking to dealers it is pointless to resist the temptation of getting a new car.
You cannot totally predict the future. You may find yourself not wanting a 992.2 in the future for a variety of reasons.
So in that context, I'd get something now. Between those two cars, I'd get the Turbo. By far and not even close. I just like it better.

I tend to hold onto cars for a while and love my C4S. That said, if I was going to replace it, I would go with a Turbo S.

You've got a great C4S on your hands, but if it comes down to Targa Heritage vs Turbo...Turbo, no question.

The Targa is way over the top - more of a museum piece for me. I think the Turbo is the better choice and given the rare allocations, you could probably switch it out easily if something else attracts you down the road.
You are a lucky guy!

I have a 2015 991.1 turbo cabriolet and my plan was to trade it in for a 992 turbo S cabriolet. Then I brought the car in for service last winter and saw a Chalk 992 4S on the showroom floor and fell in love. I waited a couple of months and went back and bought it this spring. And I decided to keep my turbo cabriolet for another year. The two cars are very different in feel, but almost equal in performance (turbo is just a bit quicker) so I really enjoy having both of them. I'm about to park the turbo cab for the winter and put winter tires on the 4S and keep driving it every day. Next spring I may look into the idea of getting a 992 turbo cab again.

Hi again
summer is comming, so it’s a good time for round 2!
While I was thinking, the targa heritage allocations ran out.
But good news I can get Turbo coupe with estimate production date 04.23.21
My turbo pre-configuration looks like this (us spec)
http://www.porsche-code.com/PMM94I16
my current C4S (us spec)
http://www.porsche-code.com/PMKZECS3
The amount of the surcharge under the optimistic plan is equal to the cost of the basе Taycan.
