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.

The 2015 model were claimed (by factory) 0-60 in 2.9 second however was measured 2.6 second by car magazines. This one is claimed 0-62 in 2.9 second. Maybe 0-60 will be measured 2.5 second???

200k for a turbo that depreciates badly ......I would just hold out for an RS of spending 200k, plan B a low mileage 458.

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.

Like that one. The M4 just passing time .........it's a fun car actually I like it a lot. Will replace with a Panni GTS. The GT3 will have to go for a 458 or RS ......I have time on that one will only move it for a deal no rush.

Dude you have a 991 GT3, you could own a Toyota Prius along with the GT3 and still be cool.

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.

It actually has new bigger turbos , upgraded fuel system , a new ported head , and a new anti lag system and a revised exhaust ( hopefully louder ) . Top speed increase from 198-205mph indicates it will be a shit ton faster from a roll ( takes more than 20 hp to do this so aero changes or AUC power must be significant ). they made a ton of changes to the motor for 20 hp which is very cool . Tuning potential should be much better as well .

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 hear you trust me ....I drove a turbo S on the track and honesty it needs no more power. HP is a game the manufactures are playing to sale cars plan and simple. How many people actually buy these cars for the true top line performance? I got my GT3 up to 185 on a 12000 ft airfield, and 200 plus is just crazy fast. End the end it's still a depreciating turbo unless the goal is to keep it long term. At the price point for any P car if you can nab a RS it's the way to go. Not knocking the turbo it's really fast if that's the way you want to go, but it's the same car based on the numbers too hard to get better than the current.

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.

What do you love so much about the AMG?
You must have one hell of a connection to get 20k off msrp on a S, with all the changes they just made.

You can find my thread here about the car--- or just do youtube search for some of the test vids. While the testers are more involved (like Pobst)- my feelings echo theirs when it comes to balance, handling, steering, power, and even looks.

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

This is why Vic loves the AMG



Also watch this. Motor trend Driver's car of the year. One of the guys said that driving this car is like a religious experience.
