Default Thoughts adding tt to a base Panny

As stated in the title I am wondering if adding TT to a base Panny is worthwhile. Any thoughts??

That depends on whether you are planning to be buried with the car or not. Once you do it you will likely never (trust me on this I know) be able to sell it unless you give it away.

That's a fair point. While I'm not in the market for a base Panamera, and never will be, if I were, I'd assume that an aftermarket turbocharger had done terrible things to the reliability of the car. I'd never buy one. If I wanted more than the base 310 HP, and I were buying used, I'd only consider cars which were designed with the higher HP in mind.

It's different if you're looking at a car where there are no higher power trims available. If I wanted a Cayman with 400+ HP, my only choice is a car that's been modified with a 3.8L engine or a turbocharger. Factory cars don't come with that level of power.
