One of my preferred builds w/ <5k in options is this: manual white 911T
Rear Axle Steering is that good... that you'd add it for a spec this lean?

The front lip is different. Hard to see in the pic but it’s there.

Does anyone know if any dealers have an allocation for one of these without a markup? I have decided I would really love one, and I went to my local dealer. I was basically told NO WAY, NO HOW ![crying](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigcry.gif)
If anyones is aware of an allocation, please feel free to PM me

I walked into my dealer today and ordered one. $3,000 off MSRP. We have a good relationship as I've bought my last 3 (new) porsches from him, but I'm certainly not a super high dollar customer.

sphynxdude, I've always tried to build relationships with the small guy. In this case there are several large powerhouse dealers in my area who don't have to work so hard for customers, and there are a few who are small and just seem to value their customer's business more. I would rather have a pleasant transaction with someone who just says "this is what I can do on the car" then to get all aggravated with some guy who requires going back to his manager 6 times to get a deal done.
I'm sure there is a little guy outside of Vegas who would love to have your business!

When i saw the initial videos from Porsche for the 991.2 - the active front flaps and the rear axle steering were the most exciting parts of the new car to me.... i was bummed to know the RAS was only on the S model. also that the GTS looses the active flaps. (honestly never a fan of sport bumper)
Now both are on the T! I think Porsche product team must be eavesdropping on my brain ...

Has anyone else noticed the power-to-weight ratio specs of the T vs the S and C2? The T is quite close to the S. I'm no mechanical engineer, but could an 11lb difference really impact the power-to-weight ratio by this much? That's a > 8.5% improvement, isn't it?
T: 8.5 lb/hp
S: 8.3 lb/hp
C2: 9.3 lb/hp
T: 8.5 lb/hp
S: 8.3 lb/hp
C2: 9.3 lb/hp

I actually added it onto my now-ex 991.2 Carrera before... in fact I still have it since I put the original splitter back on when I traded in my C2. Here it was installed on my previous Guards Red... fairly simple to attach & remove. This GR C2 was spec'd somewhat like a 911T with items only available on the C2 before... it was my 911T- wannabe way before the 911T was actually revealed. However the new 911T has better standard components now which is also why I like the car alot.

And here's a 991.2 Carrera S in Miami Blue equipped with the optional SPASM... same front splitter:

I believe the lip on the T IS the same as the one on the S if you get the SPASM. The base lip and the SPASM lip are the only variations. It’d be surprising if they introduced another variation this late in the 991.2 lifecycle.
