More pertanently, maybe grab a DSC module w/ the GT3 suspension software (or something even more aggressive) and see if that brings the turbo to life? he great thing about it is you can keep the normal setting as your current and make the sport setting as aggressive as you'd like. They'll custom tune both the sport and normal to your preference and its easy to re-write different profiles at home. Gives you lots of flexibility.

Looks like I’m keeping the TTS and this will be an addition and not a swap.

It’s already sounding like the 992.2TTS will be a hybrid with 800hp.

Ick.

So I’m going to sit on this car that I own and then see about this GT3.

sweet. Manual I assume? Any build specs? The GTS cars seem to really be the sweet spot of the 911 range.

Well…..I don’t have a build config yet. I asked my buddy to build the car for me.

My only requests were: GTS, RWD, 7speed and a PTS shade of blue.

By and large it’s going to be a price that many would frown at? And it won’t show up until 2023.

When I have the build sheet I will share for sure.

Please do. I thought you bought all your cars in white. So intrigued by blue…

I think this build will be slightly above that, best I could tell.

170-180 perhaps.

My original GTS build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNB91FP3


My latest GTS build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNPY6SF3

I was just messing around and was truly curious how much more a GTS would be over a manual C2S per my specs. Approx $10k more which would be well worth it.

The main variable is the PCCB option which swings grand total significantly. But this is probably what it looks like.
