I’ve got an allocation for a GT55…looking forward to giving Mercedes a try! Always loved the GT series but needed those backseats. Can’t wait to get back in a V8!

 

Thinking about both as my daily driver. 911 will hold its value better, but the AMG has the V8, sounds better and has more luggage space. Waiting for my dealership to get their first deliveries in April so I can drive one first, and make up my mind if I want to pursue either. Waiting on a allocation for a 992 Turbo S, if that doesn’t come through the AMG will also be more available.

 

That would be nice! I don't have that much garage space...I use my F250 as my other daily driver. Yes, depreciation is one of my biggest concerns. While the money isn't that big of a deal, it just drives me crazy knowing I'm losing money. That hasn't happened in awhile since I've had 911s and they seem to only appreciate in value. But I'm hoping the fun/joy of the V8 will be a nice counter to the loss in value. Guess we will see....Was going to get a 63 but my dealer only had a 55 available. The more I look at it, I'm pretty happy with the 55. Same engine and drivetrain...I'm hoping down the road, a tune will bump it up to the level of the 63. But, as I found in 911s...there's only so much power you can actually use in a daily driver. So I'm sure the 55 will be plenty.

 

Will drive a 55 later this month, the dealers inbound 63 is pre sold. My current daily is a GT 4 door but I’ve found I hardly ever need the back seat anymore, so looking for something more engaging to daily drive and am considering 992/AMG Coupe. We’ll see, good luck with yours and let us know what ya think. Post your spec and of course pics when you get it.

 

yes, I think there are quite a few in that same boat? Yes I’ll definitely post my thoughts!

 

I have a 991.1 GT3 and just got a 2018 GTR. Totally different but both exciting cars. I track my cars often so I cant wait to take the GTR out and test it.

 

Drove pretty much all the AMG cars (no Black series) during the first 2 courses at the AMG experience Sonoma raceway, and was very impressed with the GT-R. Not a track rat or I would have pursued a GT-R or GT-R Pro

 

Hey, just wondering which car you ended up with?

Anyone else trying to decide between 911 and amg gt? Way back when I started this thread, I went to go pick up the gt55 they were holding for me but it didn't have back seats. And so I picked up an X5M. And while it is a lot of fun and very practical...I miss having a more engaging experience. so I'm back to 911 vs amg. 911 will retain value better regarding msrp. But you can find a used amg gt63 with below 1k miles for like $40k off of msrp. So i'm wondering if they will continue to decrease...I really think they will level out and be a pretty good value at that $140-150k range. A comporable 911 would be at the least a GTS and then you are looking at $185k at least. So just trying to weigh everything out.

 

I had a 997 Turbo S. Hands down it was the best car I have ever owned. Between the AMG and the 911....for me, no brainer. I drove my 911 all winter as it seriously handled the Chicago snow far better than my (former) Audi S4 with Quattro and Blizzaks. Sure, next to no back seat...but, the AMG cars I have owned and driven have never been a 911. This opinion leaves out any dollar figures or resale theory. But....car for car, dollars aside...911....all....day.....long.....

Second best was a 2005 C240 4Matic Wagon that lasted 280,000mi.

 

Thanks! Do you have an GT63 now?

 

I do not. I have many miles in a GT63 with an M157. I currently own two E63's and a few other cars. For me, even driving 100 miles in the 911 as compared to 100 in the GT...as you can tell, no brainer. There is a reason the 911 is always an icon car.

Another customer at the shop I go to for mechanical work was doing the 911 comparison and ended up in a Vantage. He regrets it....I seriously think that the main reason we opt out of a 911 is because we want something different, special. 90% of the population can not tell a 911(base) from a GT2 from a Boxter....but, when they see a "James Bond Car'....well, THAT is a special car. But, behind the wheel? Nope, not a 911.

Sometimes I hate going to the mechanics.....(image from outside)

 

very nice cars! Have you driven the new GT55 or GT63?

 

Got an allocation @ MSRP for a 992 TTS, so ended up keeping my GT 63 S 4 door and adding the Turbo S.

 

Wow! That is a GORGEOUS 911! Congrats on the purchase!

 

Thanks!

 

What was the MSRP on that bad boy...if you don't mind me asking?

 

 

I currently have a 2022 911 TT. My lease is up in May and I was thinking about purchasing it after the lease as the buyback is only $100,000. Unfortunately, my son got into a bad accident with it and the whole passenger side rear quarter panel had to be replaced and now it will have a bad Carfax so buying it back is not an option now. Now I’m looking at a GT 55 which I think overall will be a better daily due to ride quality and more luggage space. I loved the 911 TT and it is the best car I’ve ever owned however prices at Porsche have gotten so high now that it’s just out of my price point to buy a new one. I’ve seen a bunch of barely used 55s and 63s that are $30 to 40,000 off of list with only a few thousand miles. This is probably the way I’m gonna go.

 

Perfect spec DiceCal!! Love that interior color! Pairs so well with the Agate Gray....have fun with it!

 

Thanks! I wanted to do a subdued spec for a daily driver, I was very happy with the way it turned out.

 

Curious to know how your 911 TTS rides...compared to an AMG GT (if you've driven the AMG)? In comfort mode...is it supple? Or stiff "sports car" ride? Thx

 

I have the Sport PASM suspension which is also lowered 10mm, and in the normal mode it is much more compliant and comfortable than my GT 4 door in comfort mode. I find the GT comfort mode to be too “bouncy”. The TTS is very comfortable, while still feeling like a responsive sports car. My only complaint with the TTS is the exhaust note, which I may swap the exhaust. However sometimes it’s nice to hear the “whoosh” and other turbo noises with being obnoxious.

 

I’m having the same debate. Thinking of selling my current 991 911 and buying a GT 55. Drove a 2024 CS4 and it was a bit of a snooze. The dealer also wanted more than original msrp on a used one and wouldn’t order me a new one unless I bought one of the used ones first. Screw that nonsense.

In contrast my Mercedes guy went out of his way to figure out how to help and find an allocation. The test drive was also much more exciting. Not sure I’ll make it back to Porsche unless they change their ways. They’re starting to feel way to much like Ferrari.

 

I totally agree! Disappointing

 

The V8 alone is worth it, so much emotion.
