The TTS is an odd duck, though, I will say.

Power delivery is very much turbocharged. There is definitely a boost threshold and surge of power, so it's unmistakably an FI engine.

That said, the engine doesn't really come alive until 4k RPM. It also sounds surprisingly good at that range - pretty loud and aggressive. So in some ways, it provides that NA character.

Both are great. With NA (particularly those with lightened flywheels) you get whip crack engine response with highly granular modulation of power and the awesome sound.

On the other hand, a proper FI motor will provide a dramatic surge of crushing power and, if designed to do so, deliver it in a way that's not diesel like where it's all in the very low part of the RPM range.

It's good to have both.

I personally like the power delivery down low for around town driving, but I’ve lived my whole life preferring muscle cars before this purchase. The driving experience isn’t bad, it’s just different. If someone is new to the brand as I am, my guess is that they would be thrilled with the 992 dynamics. Someone in their 9th 911 starting back in the 80’s or 90’s may miss the old timey feel. To each their own. Sound not that great, agreed

Default Black targa bar stain

Hello to all targa 992 owners!
I have a cloud paint differentiation on my 2022 targa bar paint, black bar.
Does any one knows how to clean the black bar without a damaging the black paint color?
I think it’s tire shin or car wash guys did something.

Dude, learn when to stop typing. This goes for now and future interactions as well.

gloss black paint/plastic is terrible. Have a shop polish it just like normal paint correction and then put ppf on it. I’m not sure if the targa bar is gloss black plastic, or painted aluminum, but the process will work either way. Had it done to the gloss black bits on my S.
