It's interesting but like you are looking for, I built mine (literally the LAST 991.2 build allocation in Western Canada) with 4WSS+, PCCB, no sunroof, and... RAS. I went back and forth so many times on the LWBS vs. 4WSS+ and RAS or no RAS that it made my head spin, all in search of the ultimate build. In the end I think I've got a GREAT drivers build that I am sure I'll enjoy. The black one listed here is VERY nice. Good luck on your hunt!

Thanks for posting this I found it useful. FYI I have the LWBs on my GT3T and you made the right decision going for sofas. LWBs are great at the beginning then grow old very quickly every time you get in or out or try to go on a long journey. Also on the T they mean no back seats which is a big reason why im going for a T. Having a 911 AND being able to drive it when I have to take the kids to pre-school or the grocery store is something special, and imho part of the original 911 ethos.

WW is anyone's guess until PAG spills the beans. Given the marketing and focus, I am with those that believe a majority of these came to our shores... Time tells.

I've got the previous gen LWBS in my 987.2 Spyder and love them... once I'm in them. The ingress and egress does get tiring, with the top off in my case making it somewhat easier. But I too wanted access to the rear area, if not just to be able to toss a bag of groceries on the floor or a soft luggage piece on the seat-back down platform. But with all this being said, the LWBS are just so darn sexy!

No, I believe they are not. Mine was an April 2 completion. I suppose there may be a few more trickling out but for placing an order, that's all a wrap.

Im going to keep both for a little while and then sell the one I don't use. I really don't want to be a collector. I know deep down i'll likely be selling the GT3T. It will be very hard if/when the time comes, but the best car is the one you drive.

Makes sense. Any mods planned for the T or are you going 100% stock?

I just find the GT3 to not really be a lot of fun until you're running it over 5K rpms, and at that point you're going way way way too fast for public roads. So the choice is between a car you can drive at 7 or maybe 8/10ths vs a car you're lucky to do 4/10ths in. Even on the track I don't feel comfortable running it on the ragged edge with no cage and just OEM 3-point seat belts.

my gt3 was pdk but I had a similar feeling and why I eventually sold mine. I absolutely loved that car, but it just felt like another 911 for the most part until north of 5k RPM then everything comes to life. Which pushed me to drive faster on regular roads to get that taste, and felt frustrated when driving around town and not able to get the engine there. Partly the reason I like FI engines as much as NA, with FI just press loud pedal and you are off, nearly any RPM any gear

If you have both the GT3T with LWB and T with sofas, that would be a great comparison as both seem to be touring/driver's cars. My money would be on the T being more comfortable and versatile than the GT3 or GT3T

GIMME SOME IDEAS!!! :P Honestly though right now im just focusing on trying to get hold of the right one. There's one in LA that has Sofas, RAS and Guards Red but no PCCBs - I might go for that. A ducktail would look awesome on the narrow body.

488 replacing my gt3 as my "fun car"
Congrats! that indeed can be described as a "fun car"

lol thanks I am excited. didn't want to take this off topic or anything as its a different post-GT3 car than what you might be considering, but I totally get your rationale and felt a similar way. Porsche South Bay has 1 or 2 Ts in stock from when I popped in last week for a service visit if its helpful

The turbo engine of the 488 is suppose to feel like a big NA V8. Pair of twin-scroll and ball bearing turbos really making a very responsive package.
