2010. Loaded, but early enough that it has no DEM (which I think I can cope with). 250 miles. $115k. Would be a daily driver.

I have a 996 Turbo S now. It's sublime. Love the torque.

Talk me out of it.

Joe S.

Do it!

I'm afraid that you won't find many nay-sayers here.

Torque is good, but nothing feels like GT3.
You won't regret is. Just get it.

tcsracing1

sooner or later you own a GT3......... you cant hide forever

DD GT3 RD

Have fun!!! Nothing like a GT3. But buy mine 2010 Meteor Grey with 5k miles and D.E.M!

Would never talk you out of it (I had a 6 TT also). Nothing like a NA engine at high revs, lightness, and feel of GT cars. Just be aware that you can get a used RS for a few thou more if you're patient.

If u already committed we don't need to convince u : ). Enjoy the ride exponentially : ). Mike

I have not done it yet myself, but I'm pretty certain you can retrofit the DEM. The plug dongles are zip tied on the L/R side of the fenders near the factory mounts. This is on the "to do" list for me.

Oh yeah - DOOOO IT!!!!!

get a 997.1 manual turbo
last chance : )

ELMEL

Hey guys, thanks for the nudges. It's a really tough decision. I love my Turbo S.

Yeah, I know I can get an RS, but I'm finding it very challenging to find sensible all-around tires for year-round use that fit the standard rims. And no, I don't want to be messing with changing the rims or tires just to accommodate rain. I want tires that work ok in the rain, like Corsas.

mooty

u will have same tire issues with non RS.

what year turbo S you got?
if it's pre 2005, it doesnt feel more torquey then 2010 gt3.

You'll love the GT3. I personally dont find it a suitable DD (but to eaches own). If you're in a 996TTS as a DD now, you'll probably be fine. I prefer a big quiet tank (GL550) on the commute

ELMEL

Why would I have tire issues? I can get PS2s for it. Easy, no?

My TTS is a 2005, and it's chipped. Quite torquey. I've driven a 2010 GT3, and while I love it, definitely not as torquey. I know I'll miss it.

axhoaxho

Sure, why not?

They won't make those Mezger engines forever, you know. Wink!
