After a run of BMW's, including 2 M5's, I am off to the dark side for a while. Turbo S!

Awesome! I actually thought about the Turbo S before I leased the M6 coupe (after I couldn't get the crystal white frost CTS-V), but decided against it since I am only in Cali about one month out of the year, it's too much money to be sitting there.

Hah, why would you tune a Turbo S. People who can afford one does not have the street racer mentality and it already can spank (2.6s) just about anything out there south of $200k.

because stock is not an option
if you can easily tune it to 700bhp and if you really want you can go 900+, why not?

people tune 650s to crazy hp numbers also, and add 2 turbos to aventadors, just because they want and can, so they are all street racer boys in your opinion?

how is anyone tuning m5/4/6, e63, rs7, different then?

Gorgeous! The Porsche dealer here has at least two Turbos, heavily discounted since they can't move inventory. I believe I saw one of them for about $25k off.

I disagree with you there buddy. Just because someone can afford a 200k car doesn't put them in a different category. We have plenty of guys on these forums that can pick up a 200k tomorrow and I guarantee you they will start throwing parts on there to push it further. As the saying goes, there is always someone faster than you.

It all comes down to personality and goals. Some people will be more than satisfied with their cars others will not be.

I'm 6'4 and 300. I was very surprised how comfy the 911 Turbo S was. Fell in love after my buddy let me track his GT3. I was converted.

This whole time I thought it was too small.

Might be a stupid question, but does it fit kids in the back (or the option to)? I might have to sell my kid hauler for one.

I sold my M5 this week and went to the dark side. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is very different from the M5.
