Upgraded lights, and NAV ......the performance numbers 0 to appear to be the same? It has done 0 to 60 in 2.6 which is insanely fast. I've been launched in one when Coldist has his, and honestly it made me sick they damn thing puts all the power to ground. Its a great DD very comfortable if you only need 2 plus one kid in the back.

Not a big fan of Mac's they have a lot of reliability issues small in nature but bothersome. However a 650S on a deal is not bad. Dealer network is very small for servicing ......prefer to have a NA motor is why I like Porsche's GT's revving to 9k is unreal.

Also, only plan on getting rid of the GT3 for a 458, if you plan on straightpiping the 458. Then again, you should have straightpiped the GT3 by now.

I understand that only the TT 'S' version gets new bigger turbos, not the standard TT...? or maybe that's just the way its written...
wonder how quick the tuners will be able to hack the ecu and boost power even more!

All in all, I really like this new "LCI" Turbo and Turbo S much better than the first design. Not for the added performance, but for the change in exterior styling. The first 991 Turbo S, just didn't do anything for me, I really didn't like the design, but what they've done now is made some small design changes here and there, and I think it has transformed the car.
I'm digging the new vent design on the rear engine bonnet, the revised tail light shapes, the changed exhaust tips, splitter and diffuser. These changes now work very well together and I think the car looks fantastic. One of the biggest eye sores for me personally on most 911's is the shape of the rear "ducktail" spoiler. That shape has never made me think "that looks pretty cool", but now they've revised that too, and it looks SO much better than the first Turbo/Turbo S. It actually looks "cool" to me now. It just looks sharper. On the Performance side, Porsche seems to have taken a clear turn in the right direction. A myriad of changes now produce a much better performing car overall it seems, not just in one area or two. I also found it interesting how they increased the fuel efficiency just by tweaking the DCT software code. I think we are in store for some very good looking shots of this new Turbo and Turbo S. Finally, a Porsche Turbo I actually like!

I'm in a different boat- I'm gonna get a 2016 Turbo S (non lci) for about 20k off msrp and then mod it with Cobb and catless exhaust for another 100 hp; drive the shit out of her. Then Ill get a LCI Turbo S. Its only money.
I have realized more than ever, for me, that I want a driver that's all purpose. The GT3 was amazing but it didn't fit my needs as time went on but the AMG GTS is definitely that car that I love. Its all subjective though and others' opinions will vary. The GTS clearly has won over the mag testers and has done well in many challenges. Tune it and sit back and feel your back carve the seat.

You must have one hell of a connection to get 20k off msrp on a S, with all the changes they just made.

20k off is on NON LCI (as I mentioned)... the changes will make the LCI prices less flexible.
