Good catch, thanks for sharing. Both Ts look and sound fantastic. Can't wait to see more reviews, etc. Stout/000 should be providing some content to us shortly I hope.

Some vids & news of pre-testing in non-yellow colours (skip forward for the T content):

So, now that the reviews are pouring in and Pete/000 was kind enough to provide us with his real-time perspective, how are we all still feeling about the T?
I’m personally still very excited about it and believe it will be quite the fun ride to be in. Thoughts?

If I were ordering new, it would still be my choice. You should be very excited

Is anyone planning on tracking their T?

@k997 - I think you're doing the right thing. I have 991.2 C2 incoming (currently close to the Panama Canal), so I'm not switching. However, if I had to do it again, I would go with the T. And don't let the nay sayers discourage you.
Cheers, -Peter

Thanks for the reviews!
As far as tracking my T, this definitely is in the plan. The LWB provide a track-street capability on par with GT4 and GT3. Available torque on corner exit will offset any theoretical power disadvantage. I’ll be upgrading the brake rotors to slightly larger girodisc floating rotors plus track pads and brake fluid. Eventually get some lightweight 19” wheels, harness bar and Belts. Good to go.

So, with a 981 Spyder in the garage, would the 911T be redundant? With a true 6speed, and open air capabilities, I wonder if the 911T will sit. I'm thinking of it more as a DD than the Spyder, except for long trips or truly cruddy weather.
