Yeah, gotta watch out for that. It proved slippery and steep with my 914—but no regrets.
Key with the Carrera has been subtle mods. It's a daily, it's under warranty, and my favorite kind of cars and mods are "more from less." I might be convinced to do springs (either the TechArts or a switch to H&Rs), DSC (done, and I do like it quite a lot), ARBs (maybe sharpen things up a bit), and a bump-steer correction (suspect this would be good after the lowering). Possibly a set of wheels, if the right ones come up, or I decide to have a set of Forgelines made. Maybe the right cat-back exhaust for a bit more bellow and bark. Possibly a T shifter. Maybe a bit less sound deadening. Ah yes...did you mention something about a slippery slope? Nice thing about all of the above is it's a day or two days of work and easily reversible.

A friend has been scouring North American inventory for a Carrera/S/GTS/T with 4WSS+ or adaptive sport seats but no sunroof and a few desired options (he would like RAS, but isn't picky about transmission, liking both 7MT and PDK) and says that non-moonroof/"enthusiast optioned" 3.0-liter cars are vaporware. My gut says they've got to be out there in small qty, but maybe only with people who ordered them and who aren't likely to give them up. He was particularly surprised by the number of Ts with glass roofs and no RAS, as though the dealers all ordered them. Says the only exceptions are Ts with LWB and not much else (and he needs rear seats).
As to suspension, the only reason (imo, anyway) to change anything on a Carrera is aesthetics. For me, it's worth the minor compromises—but it's really too bad SPASM wasn't an option on the 991.2 as it was on the 991.1. There isn't much to complain about with these cars, however...they are both underrated and brilliant.

Can't remember if you got a sunroof or not, Tom?

Not to turn this into a collectability thread or comment but this is exactly what we see in Canada as well. Oddly spec'd Carrera T's that go against the ethos of the car, particularly by dealers.
If I see any on resale they are either not RAS equipped or are PDK or bloated with a ton of options.
For example...a white T has sat at a local dealer for months as it has buckets, glass sunroof, lightweight glass delete and no RAS! Dealer spec'd!
