It's kind of funny too that we all seem to automatically call white and silver "classic" . In saying this we incorrectly recall the true history of Porsche colors.



1971 911T

 

 

If I could have had Tangerine on my Carrera T PTS I would have...my father's first 1973.5 T was a Tangerine Dream!

cheers!

 

 

I all honesty if they had some steel blue colors to choose from then I wouldn't be getting GT Silver. Cant get white as my wife's Macan is white, as well as my daughter's A3. Had two Guards Red 911's as well.

 

It's interesting that most of the YouTube vids I've watched show the Carrera T's all driven and dirty like. Is this for the image of a "drivers car"? Anyone wash theirs?

Also, anyone's thoughts after your months of ownership? Happy? On the hunt again?

Thanks in advance.

Carrera T stalker...

 

I think the videos show the car dirty to project the image that this is a car you drive, not a garage queen.

Although my daily commute is just 6 miles, I just put over 2,600 miles in the first two months.

Thoughts on the "T"? A fantastic car, where the sum of small changes makes a big difference.

Extremely fun to drive, And beautifully appointed, inside and out.

I would definitely buy it again if I had to do it all over.

 

 

 

Mine locks any day now, Guards Red and I really loaded it - gonna be a super fun car to have in the stable.

 

Any one know just how the T allocations are set up per dealer? I was lucky enough to get one of the only 2 T allocations from are dealer here in Bend Oregon just 4 weeks ago. Seems I was too late for the last 2018's so I will get the 2019 T in December of this year. That seems like a long wait to me.

 

I have had mine for less than a month. And yes I have washed it.....
It will not compare to your 987 Spyder in terms of pure driving enjoyment IF you like the sensory experience on the Spyder.
Is it a great car? Yes!
If I had to pick one and needed a daily driver it would be the T.
I have the T, 987 Spyder, and an '17 M3 with competition package. The M3 is the best daily for MY purposes. But the 911 is surely better to drive!
The Spyder is such a sweet spot for pure driving enjoyment though. Don't sell your Spyder to get a T unless you need a more civilized car for daily use.
But if you want a new car and realize you will give up some of the pure driving experience to get it, then get a T for sure. Its still probably more enjoyable as a drivers car than many other options.

 

The car just keeps getting better and better - Just passed 1700 miles today - I don't drive it every day but I wish I could. The manual box is delightful, RAS makes it feel like a go-kart, and the 3.0T continues to blow me away. I don't generally get "car itch" (had my last Porsche for 17 years) - and I think this one will probably stay a long time. One thing really stands out recently though - the Carrera T is a *much* better car than my 993 in the Texas heat (now that it's warmed up here). The A/C works really well, and the Carrera T Sport-Tex interior stays comfortable even in the direct sun.

 

We feel the same about ours. Over 6,100 kms in 6 weeks of ownership. 3.0L in the T mated to a 7MT is awesome. I especially enjoy driving around with the side windows partially down. Car gets a lot of attention from both non-Porsche and Porsche folks. Something that we're not used to. The T is very rare around here.
