911 is great but as much as I hate it, all of those always lead to value topic. I myself is in a huge debate on G8X or 992, things just don't make sense as you keep looking and speccing up.

This is true for all 911, not only the turbo. All variants get a meaningful update every ~3 years. If you want the latest an greatest, you'll be in a constant chase. At some point you need to settle and enjoy the one you buy and avoid the envy. Further, this is not a rational purchase, it is an emotional one. I've always loved the 911 but found the M3/4 offered a better overall compromise. Now I dislike the G8X enough to finally make the jump. It's going to cost whatever it's going to cost. After 3-4 years I'll decide if it was worth it or not; continue with a 911 or go to something else, but at least I will have experienced having an "everyday supercar"
