I like the front (and maybe rear) aeromods. Can you share where you got those from?

You could always recoup any power losses (and then some) due to altitude with an M-Tune for $2500 too.

He's trying to say that tunes only work at lower elevations where the air density is higher because that gives the tuner a greater range of adjustment to make more power, but I would suggest talking to an actual expert like Mitch McKee.

I have a base...I don't ever think I need an S.
Basically you are set no matter which 911 you pick.

M-engineering literally run their tuned cars on Pikes Peak with winning results lol.

Except the engines are identical mechanically for the Carrera/S/GTS. So if one gets a pair of S/GTS turbos and a tune then one has a GTS motor.

There's a track battle on youtube between a 992 Base and a 996TT. Despite the higher HP of the TT, the Base won by 4 seconds on a short course with the same driver. I haven't driven a 992, base or otherwise, but fail to understand the need for more power than the base on a road car. Most people can't handle 4000HP at the limit. If you can and you want a track car, neither the Base nor the S are ideal anyway.
