Are you saying that the dealer is selling the warranty and has put in writing that the warranty will not be voided? If so that would be an amazing accomplishment and a no brainer for $3K.

What options are there to get just a small bump of 25 or so hp - around 400 hp?

Owners of two dealers told me allocations are and will be plentiful. Those being told that they don’t have many T allocations are being fed a line of BS.

There could certainly be many allocations coming down from Porsche but as of a couple weeks ago most dealers had none yet for 2019, some had 1.

We can all speculate. My Premier dealer got 2 '19s. One Sept delivery, 1 November delivery, both '19s, no '18s. There are lots of sales people that claim to have the inside scope but time irons all this out.

I believe my dealer only has two '19 T allocations as well.

It is my understanding that the (few) Carrera T allocations will continue to be mixed in with the base 991.2 Carrera allocations for as long as the 991.2 Carreras are being produced. Does that sound right to others here? I've discussed this with Porsche Marketing people as well as several dealers.

Anyone have an informed take on how many 991.2 Carrera Ts will be produced in total?

Not sure if this has been posted already but it's an entertaining video

Is it just me or can you hear the PSE valves rattle when they open over 3.5 k rpm or so when the vacuum lines depressurize (all modes)! Its pretty loud

The T in Canada is about $125000, close to the S in price, I paid $117000 for mine so this is no base car!
Looks like I will have a good 7 months to decide.
As a lot of you daily drive the T how is the ride and ground clearance with the 10 mm further drop, and with the manual are you shifting more?
I have lots of city driving to think about.
thanks for your input
No offence, but this is crazy. Also, I live in Canada and you don’t wait any longer for a 911 than you do in the USA. You can get a factory order in a few months, especially for a normal model like a C2, S, and even a T. Not sure what your dealer is telling you, perhaps it’s time to switch.

Huh? Don’t agree. The T is a great daily driver in Ontario.

Except that it adds weight, where you don’t want it, and that’s contrary to the whole ethos of the T.

It’s not a GT2 seat, it’s the non-folding carbon seat that is available in the US
