Gj325 is an unknown quantity at this point
Go for it The Ferrari is a awesome car from the front but nothing beats the sex appeal of Turbo S from rear. That is where most other drivers will be seeing your car

Welcome.

I totally agree with you on the 4s tips!! Plus, the S could benefit from a more aggressive exhaust note.

Having never owned an F car, I cannot compare. But, I can say that my 997.2 Turbo S is the most amazing Porsche I have ever owned...and that's only puttering around during the break-in. My 1st "track" day isn't until 9/15.

BTW, meteor gray is an awesome color. And, I love the basalt black Turbo 2 wheels.

Welcome to the forum. IMHO the TTS is the way to go. Particularly as a DD.

^^ as I said in a few other threads I drove a 996 TT a few years ago and it's still all I think about. I love forced induction and hearing those turbos spool gave me chills. I haven't driven the California or the TurboS but from reviews I've read and videos I watched IMO I wouldn't think twice and go with the TurboS. I would even choose a regular 997.2 turbo over a California.

man I loved driving the california. Fast and Classic that blends into anywhere and most don't think it's a Ferrari. Also the 4th fastest Ferrari made. Yep the turbo s is fast but too 99.999% of American's it's just another 911. Remember Jon I love Porsches. I'm just sayin

Turbo S is amazing car.Faster than a California..Evo test drives the Turbo S and It did 0-60mph in 2.9sec..

But Ferrari is a Ferrari...

H2O I respect your opinion a lot because you have gotten to drive and experience the California where I have only sat, see, and heard a California. But the California is one Ferrari that doesn't get me excited.

I know some might think the TurboS is "just another 911" but that 911 one quick SOB.
