I think if you find a quality installer (or de-installer, if you will), covering the headlights is not a big deal. I think with the proper precautions (taking time and using adequate heat/steam) delamination is not a huge issue.

but there’s nothing close to it in its price range. Best all around road car I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned several GT cars. Not sure there’s much else one could reasonably expect from Porsche for 115-120K OTD.

The T may not feel overly exciting after stepping out of your Veyron

For me though; I do not think it is the deal of the century because it is not that Cheap.

I own both the Carrera T and .2 GT3. I prefer my T for road driving, GT3 for the track. Sometimes you have to actually drive a car to get it. I remember some guys here poo-poo'd the GT4 at first, too -- they they drove one and were immediate converts. Just saying. But yeah, for the road, I do actually find the T more fun.

Diasgree. Unless I am going to the track or C&C, the T is a more enjoyable, more usable and more engaging car. If I am going to the mountains I‘d take the T 75% of the time.
I love GT cars dearly, they are amazing and I hope to always have one available. I find my .2 RS to be an absolute beast. But, the relative anonymity, significantly better torque around town, tossability, and lack of drama and theater makes the T more enjoyable (for me) in most situations.
The T would leave me wanting much more on the track. I’ve decided I will never track it because I think there its weaknesses - lack of grip, less HP, base carrera brakes, lack of downforce - would be glaring and it may change my perspective on the car.
Plus, it makes childish backfire sounds upon throttle lift in sport mode.

I ordered the car (for the wife) with side decal delete as I wanted a longer and thicker stripe. Then I put the stripes on the first weekend I got the car. Car has good pickup and rides better than my 991.1 C2S Cab, but not as good as my .2 GT3. Maybe the P Zeros just aren't as smooth as the Cup2's.

I have a Manual GT3 and test drove a Manual T. If I needed back seats I would get a T, but otherwise the GT3 is more fun for me...even on the street. They are at different price points though.

I enjoy them. They are great for cars and coffee. Make you feel cool.
