It finally happened. After researching, searching, more researching, and negotiating I have secured an allocation for a T. I want to thank everyone for their feedback on the RWS question I had a couple posts ago, along with a lot of your great reviews on the options and feel of the T.

I kept mine very, very basic. I my first build was overloaded with options and I realized that this car isn't about the options, it is about the lack of them to really give it a purist sense. I got the RWS after my aforementioned researching and decided since it is an option the base C2 cannot get, it would make the T special.

Once again, I thank everyone for their help and honesty with their own experiences. Now the waiting game happens... (end of December delivery)

Nice choice! I would've gone for the non metallic black if our X5 wasn't black.

Mine will be the same, but with PCCBs and the yellow T interior (unless I chicken out and go back to silver stitching)

Sport Design package looks great! Tell us more about the rest of your build. Looks great!

bugger, I wanted PCCB but missed the opp to build a car. I do have RAS, manual, rear seat delete, sexy headlights and lots of leather with silver contrast stitch.

im also doing this to the hood to match the wheel centers, will contrast better with Black imo.

Finally contacted a few dealers with my build. I think I will have something locked in the next two weeks.

The only options selected were painting wheels black $690 (I think it will still look ok with mirrors, sticker, markings with a little more contrast) and roof cross bars $430.

The two things I struggled with
White vs GT silver... I want the car to be subtle as a daily driver, otherwise GR or RY would be my choice.
RAS was the other option I struggled with, but I wanted to keep it simple.

FWIW...There are allocations out there, but I am getting resistance on European Delivery and nothing concrete on production timelines. I am hoping for a winter build with Spring Euro Delivery, not sure if it will work, yet.

This would be my first Porsche.

Very cool. Yes allocations are there but going fast and porsche can switch 992 any time.
you cant get an S allocation any more. 4S,GTS and T still available for till March/February delivery.
after that only 992 will be coming in.

Thanks for info.

Question on RAS. Wouldn’t it make it very difficult to slide around the backend in a playful way?
