Well... even with MT's he will still take me off the line, but I am hoping for 185+ traps so who knows

Either way will be fun.

I have got a 1.57 @ the drag-strip... 1.70 at an air-strip is challenging!

Previous M5 vs. a 170mph trap 997.2... it can hold its own

Air Strip is just a top-end horsepower play... although the 911 Turbo's just kick ass since most cars can't catch up in time!

Pls feel free to share any objective facts or even emotional reasons.

Thanks for your responses in advance ?
I have an allocation number on f90 and I am starting have second thoughts. I absolutely love my f10, but scared of the first model year of any new car. Second, after finally taking the time to get some proper seat time with some competitive vehicles, I feel like the f90 is only going to be a more refined extension of my f10 ownership. That being said, the 991.2 is muchhh different, but a great option and it really is such an incredible car. T or TT, you really cant go wrong if you do not need the space. Interior and sound system in the 991.2 has finally been improved, driver position is perfect, and like others have mentioned, with a couple of mods just like the f-series they can be very very quick. Just my opinion.

You need one of each.

I have the 991TTS and the AMG E63S. The latter is a much better highway car, but the 991 is the car you want to drive around town and in the mountains.

With the E63S in the barn and the RS7 leaving; I picked this up for some fun. Who would have thought a cab with 450 OEM hp would move like it does but there is something to be said about power to weight ratios and grip. A tune will have this baby running like a Non S Turbo and perfect summer daily cruiser for me in So Cal traffic.

The GTS is the perfect segway from the normal S models and the Turbos with a different pricepoint. The key for me was the deal from PCNA and the ease of mods: tune, drop, high flow cats, all will be done in a few days to make it just right:
