Congrats guys!

I'm not feeling the engine cover but I love the new steering wheel. I very, very jealous of that.

Congrats! Yes, the engine needs to go back to horizontal slats or if vertical, body paint color. Overall, looking very sharp, beautiful interior. Having looked at the GT3s lately, I was wondering why the wing is so small haha.

It's actually my first P car ! Compared to my CP M6 it's a whole different world . Great precise direct steering , good weight and feel for EPS . The motor is what surprised me the most , it has less lag the S63 Tu at low rpms . From any speed , stock vs stock it's faster . Only thing that isn't perfect is the quiet exhaust .

Beautiful car you have there.

I took a 2014 911 TTS for a test drive today. Phenomenal car. I was totally smitten. Blows away the AMG GTS in my opinion. Am going to get one as soon as I sell this Jag.

The TT-S (14) is a great car, the power and handling is intense as I owned one but I like the GTS better: better feel for a road car with rwd and rear weight bias, steering on point, sound, immediate power delivery (the TT-S has a mush throttle), and I like the interior. Of course I only had my TT-S for 9 months and now have had the GTS for about 10 so that may define my preference. And I am only talking about the 991.1 TT-S as the .2 has made some marked improvements.

There are a lot of 14 deals out there too no doubt. You can't go wrong with either car. I am considering a .2 soon

Maybe I should drive the GTS again. But when I drove the TTS yesterday I got a much stronger sense of control, whereas I found the GTS I felt I had to be much more on top of it.

Try it again and make sure you are in sport plus or race--- push it in the turns at higher speeds and you will find that there is zero understeer. I do agree that the AWD and PDCC make the Turbo S feel incredible.

Will do. BTW What is the valuation on the 2014 Turbo S Coupe these days? And did you figure out when the 17 GTS arrives?
