Turbo comments
Yes I know this is not the turbo form. I currently have a '09 C2S that I am very happy with BUT as part of my "bucketlist' I have always thought of driving (translated as owning) a turbo, if only because it is the most powerful 911. Have owned a GT3 and unfortunately it had a sad ending of sorts. So the question: has anyone gone from a C2S to a turbo or the other way and if so why. Also the pros and cons generally of the turbo. I will answer the most obvious question up front, do I need one? NO. Can I fully exploit the power of the turbo? NO. Then why.... because I'm 67 have an eye problem that will only get worse and think I want one . That is certainly not a logical or practical answer .. so back to your comments. Thanks Jack

Me neither. Me neither. Me neither.
I'm 42 and could afford one. Don't know if I'll be able to afford one when I'm 52 or 62 or 72. I got a tip because I have shoulder problems. I love the turbo and the tip. Absolutely no regrets. The power is awesome and its very much a daily driver.
I didn't go from C2S and haven't driven a 997.2 C2S, so can't make comparison personally.

By the fact that you posted this question, you clearly should buy one to find out. I've never wanted a Turbo, don't like AWD in a sports car, don't need the boost for 0-60 or 1/4 mile (I don't street race). The C2S has all I need and want, for both street and track. It's understated (no badge on my C2S). I've had a 997S, 997GT3, and went back to 997.2S because it fit my wants and needs better than the GT3. I didn't even consider the Turbo - just not my thing.

I did the same thing, went from a C4S to a TT. It's a thrill ride, I doubt you will say it has too much power. It's there when you want it but will also drive like a 997s. It's the only car I've owned that will definitely put a grin on your face when you hit the go pedal. Buy it while you're capable of enjoying it.
I think you already made up your mind...Good luck

Just like they used to always say that you should own a convertible at least once in your life, you should also have had the opportunity to own and drive a turbo. Of course, unfortunately, the 997TT is not the most powerful Porsche 911 out there, but it's close enough perhaps for you. (Go check out a GT2). They're somewhat fun but then you also know all the negatives.

The turbo is still a player though, just got to find the right one
