Isn't the weight savings 10 pounds? Plus it's more expensive? I guess I don't see the point.

There was a Jalop thread yesterday(?) This thing seems dumb. Why is a "stripper" the Touring model? And really, only 10 lbs.? Sounds like something an autox'er would develop. :/

yeah it is 10k over a base 911 but you get additional performance options as standard. so not so much weight savings but better optioned (for me).

How does it compare to the GTS? I can't keep up with all of the variations.

GTS is more power with sporty options(plus weight). Also the T has narrowbody version GTS has the hips.

yeah naming seems dumb but I guess the original 68 T was touring too? Stripper 911 is not really a stripper
