2022 Allocation
#406
In two years we will probably be able to buy below msrp again, so I don't think msrp is such a good thing in this case.
I'd rather over pay now and enjoy the car, than wait and still over pay
#407
If you are really going to drive in the winter, I would get the 4s and put proper winter tires on it. In an area with light snowfall and very moderate winters the 2s may be ok....but in Western PA I would go 4S.
#408
That was my mindset as well and why my current car is a WRX with winter tires. I don’t even think twice about driving in light snow accumulation, even though the past few years we’ve only had 1 to 2 days a year of unplowed conditions. My guess is that’s why others are saying AWD isn’t that important.

For me, it's not about top speed. I'm more about stomping on it from a standing start. How fast can I get to 60 mph?
Maybe I am thinking about this incorrectly?

My mindset is that AWD is great in all weather. Snow yeah.....rain YES.... when I step on the gas, I want the car to go straight. Traction control aside, I don't think anything beats the AWD.

All-wheel drive is far better than two-wheel drive when it comes to driving on slick surfaces where you need serious traction to get going, such as a snowy uphill driveway. But all-wheel drive by itself won’t help if you’re heading too fast toward a sudden sharp curve on a snowy night.
Using proper tires (i.e., winter or snow tires) provides the best grip and assurance for going, stopping, and cornering no matter what you drive: all-wheel drive, front-drive, or rear-drive. And buying winter tires for a rear-drive car (like the 911) will cost far less than the several-thousand-dollar premium for the all-wheel drive 911 C4/S.

Car will be shod with full snows as it will be my DD and the deal with the boss is that I cannot use weather as an excuse to not pick up kids (she did catch on with last 911 that we have 4 kids and I only 3 open seats but shhh)

All-wheel drive is about getting your car moving from a dead stop—not about braking or steering—and one should be aware of its limitations.

Is it better to get the Porsche winter wheel set or go 3rd party?

I was at South Bay Porsche (L.A. suburb) today to get my 2nd key fob programmed on my 22 Targa 4. I walked through the showroom, and saw the following:
- GT3 Touring, Agate Grey, 150k ADM (buyer coming in this weekend)
- Turbo S, PTS, 175k ADM
- 2021 TTS Demo, sold for 110k over original MSRP
- All Macan's and Cayenne's are 8 - 12k over window
- They can't get any 718 allocations, so those will be even more pricey
- They have not seen any Targa allocation in months, and asking (and claimed they are getting) 50k ADM on any Targa.
- The SA really wanted to buy my Targa 4 (which I got for 1k under MSRP), but I said no. I didn't wait my whole life to get this car to just sell it!
