911 Carrera T
#32
I like it. Not every car can be, or needs to be, a GT. What's not to like?
manual gear box
sport pasm, -20mm
mechanical locking diff
short shifter
lightweight glass
reduced sound deadening
shorter rear axle ratio
rear stearing
The only negative might be the turbo engine but Porsche has been making turbo cars for a long time. It's also likely $50k+ less expensive than a GT3. It's not a GT3.
Every car including the GT2RS on down is a marketing exercise. What does that mean?
Everyone is crying for more driver's cars? What should they build?

A true drivers car is three things. Manual, NA, lightweight.
They only really accomplished one of those, and then made a feeble stab at reducing a dozen pounds of weight.

Why wouldn’t they offer this in the GTS or S models??

I'm sure this isn't Porsche's attempt to make an ultimate cost no option drivers car. I think they've made a drivers oriented narrow bodied 911.
Put some snow tires on this and it would be a great year round driver.
I would have to delete those decals though.

Look at the GT2RS marketing. You'd think they were having a hard time selling those things.
