Yeah I don't know about that. I put Recaro Pole Positions in my 993 C4S. Back then I used the car as a DD. Wearing business clothes etc I'd say having shells in a car for daily use wasn't the best.

I can't go the LWB route, I have kids and have to at least pretend this is a family car.

I test drove one with 4 way and one with 18 and I couldn't tell the difference but then again I was in the car for a short period of time. Thanks in advance for your help!
If you couldn't tell the difference then I envy you - just get the cheaper 4-ways.

To me, a correctly adjusted 18-way is far more comfortable especially with a 2 hour daily commute. The 4-way is excellent. The 18-way is better. YMMV.

Edited to say: If you have kids constantly getting in and out, then the manual sliding 4-ways may be the more suitable option.

Newcomers to the T.

Don't forget to add your car to the 911T Survey here https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1062...ry-survey.html

GT Silver is still out ahead. Given recent pictures... maybe Racing Yellow is catching?

In the UK, mine also came with Pirelli P Zeroes. I think it's luck of the draw as to which tyres Porsche have in stock at the factory when your car is built...

Surely the Carrera S comes in 'narrow body' for the C2S and still has the S brakes with the red calipers?

Everybody's anatomy is different, so go with what's most comfortable to you. DO NOT get the LWB's without trying them first, especially if you plan to daily the car. I sat in a Boxster Spyder with them and I'm 5'10" & only 128lbs, but they would be intolerable for me for anything other than dedicated track driving.

The 18 ways were nice but the 4 ways were good enough for me that the 18 ways weren't worth the premium.

I'd go red interior package and black gauges. The gauge color thing is a bit much. And I don't think the yellow links to the PCCB very well. I've seen lots of Guards red cars with black interiors and yellow calipers. Looks fine.

...or go for the Racing Yellow exterior.
