Default Which 911 gets more looks?

My wife doesn't love attention when driving or parked. So we have a bet between Targa 4 GTS vs Turbo S. Please choose between these 2 not any others.

Probably depends on the colors but the targa bar does stand out especially if you get it in silver.

It's a 911, she will get attention no matter what she drives the Targa GTS or Turbo S.

However the Targa will maybe a slight more attention if the top is down.

To most people, 911s all look the same. I showed my car to a coworker and he was like what's that, a Lambo?

I don’t think Porsches get much, if any, attention regardless. She’ll be fine. Only a CGT or 918 gets attention. At least here in S FL that’s true.

Most people don't have a clue what a 911 is and will easily confuse it with any other small sports car. A Lamborghini decked out with a boy racer park bench spoiler and overdone ground effects with an ear splitting exhaust is the type of vehicle that gets significant attention not a far more conservative 911.

I agree 911 all look the same unless your are all in for Porsche and haters going to hate…. That lambo sounds a lot like my RS…

I probably speak for many here when I say that the 911 line is preferable vs something garish like a Lamborghini.

I love how this is split 50%-50% !!

I can’t vote, because I have experienced neither car.

With my Gentian Blue 4S, I barely get attention.

I think color makes a bigger difference. Guards Red, Yellow, Lizard Green for attention. GT Silver, shades of Gray for less attention.

I’m going to agree here. I don’t know that either will get more looks than the other from the casual onlooker, but I do agree that color will make more of a difference than anything else.

Neither. It depends on where you live, honestly, but I a few thumbs-up from enthusiasts is the most you can expect. It's not "exotic."

That's true. Especially from me (sitting in my 911) when I'm wondering how they screwed up that design.
