TT....the 4s is almost a copy of the turbo and in the turbo you have the power to go to the moon..lol allways the turbo will be a iconic car so..

TT by a mile.

They share roughly the same price in Europe, why I can't for the world of me figure out, but the TT is so much more car and will be the car to have come resale time. And it has way more smiles per hour.

On the 4S, you just buy a gorgeous red stripe for the same money you buy two turbochargers. Although If they had been 50% cheaper, which they should be, I would have gone with a 4S.

Besides the 4S costing less. The Turbo wins. In roughly the same price range of the Turbo is the 996 GT3. That might be a little impractical though.

TT, no doubt. The price difference here in Europe is not that big(€5k-€7k).

The only pro's for the C4S are the beautiful back, the sound(TT doesn't sound nice, even with aftermarket exhaust) and throttle respone. The TT's acceleration is realy sick.

Whatever you do, don't buy a tiptronic.

C4S more satisfying to drive with much nicer exhaust note. TT is much faster, but the clutch and shifter and really clunky. I had 5 996tt's and didn't really like 'em.

^^ I'm going with Jamie. For the $$ the C4S is more pleasurable.

If you're going to spend the coin for the TT; forget it and go get a 997 C2S. Much more refined, fun, better fit and finish, better controls, classic '911' look etc etc.

So, walk us through the decision process that led you, after having four of the same car and not liking any of them, to buy yet another one.
