While driving the Stelvio Pass we saw a guy taking pics so we looked it up online later that night and downloaded a few!

However, ive noticed its really hard to hit 13psi even with the akra exhaust. It gets to 11-12 almost instantly in sport/sport+, but 13 is a bit*h. The turbos must be undertuned in the T, it might have different air/fuel ratios.

Wouldn't that be due to the change to the drive / gear ratios, etc?

Many thanks to BO, Matty, Stacy, Ukkid, Pete (p life), Cams for your thoughts. Very helpful. Color wise I’m now down to White vs MB.

I don't understand this?? I have a GTS coupe manual with a wider body, bigger turbos and Porsche quotes MPG at 18/26 avg 21. I actually get ~22 on average with mixed driving (less if I really get on it) and can easily hit 28 on the highway in 7th. I did notice mph improve as car broke in though.

Hey fellow owners....can we confirm that the 19" winter wheel packages won't work on the 911T equipped with RAS? I'm presently expecting my 2019 to arrive in October November here in Canada and want to shop around for a winter wheel set.

Thanks!

Hi. My Porsche Winter wheels & tyres catalogue states that the 19” winter wheel/tyre set (that I’ve bought) is not suitable for a 991.2 with RAS and/or PCCBs.

Does your avatar hint that you’re leaning towards Miami Blue?

i believe so, you go in to the menu and assign the left hot key to next track but it doesn’t work, the next key under the PCM screen works fine though. Few other threads on it.

Go bold!

I went for Racing Yellow and love it. MB would also brighten up any dull/wet day! It’s a stunning colour.
