Someone at the dealership asked me if I’d do track work. Yes. But not with a 991.2 Turbo S. I just don’t like turbocharging on the track. So the PCCBs are totally lost on me —correct. But if I want to swap into the C8 Z06 or C8 ZR1 in the near future, life is easier to keep a car bone stock. I’ll be the first person to say that I hate the weight of cars these days. But I concede the point that suspension tuning and power to weight can mask most of the pork. For me, what it came down to was a 2018 GT3 6speed or a 991.2 TT-S. And I think I’d use the powerband of the TT-S more for what I do. Sad to say so, but I am not the kind of person who runs a car at 4000 rpms everywhere in non-track driving and it’s a crime to drive a GT3 at 2500-3000rpms.

http://t-design9.com/memory_module_porsche.html Unless you're cool with auto start stop being on every time you start up. One of the best thing I did to mine. I totally understand your sentiment about the way the turbo delivers low end power on the street. Obviously mine is a fraction of yours, but the low revs torque was a major reason I went with a . 2 car over the N/A . 1 cars

Makes sense—I imagine the TTS will be a lot more usable. The number of really good GT3 miles would be a fraction of the small number of miles you put on the car.

It looks really sharp from that angle. I still think they could have done better with the front bumper. Too much black plastic.
