Have u guys realized how bad the fuel econony is on the manual T? Lol.
Porsche states 16/26 avg 19mpg vs. 20/29 avg 23 on the base! Im averaging 19 mpg mostly hwy driving. How can there be such a big difference just from the final drive, but no difference in power, torque acceleration? Im not buying it.
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.

Noise level on long rides (with and without light weight rear glass)
Anyone experienced the difference or can share the noise level with your own T on long rides?

I have put only 175 miles on our T and I can't tell any difference in noise level from my previous cars. Of course, it is much quieter than our '88 coupe, but I sold an 08 Boxster S and I think the T is quieter or at least
very close. I also have a 2012 VW Golf R and I think the T is louder most of the time. As others have observed, the noise in the T is mostly influenced by the pavement. Rough/worn pavement is very noticeable, on smoother
pavement it's dang quiet.

On Sunday I did a drive of 163.5 miles, mostly motorway/highway. 28.8 MPG (UK) and 59 MPH average on that journey.
My car is now on 7,348 miles since April 6th. Over that time, it’s 29.7 MPG (UK) and 48 MPH on average.
I’m happy with that for a 370hp Porsche 911.

Thanks to the enablers in this thread, and BlackOptic for starting this - I have officially locked my build for my 2019 T. Delivery should be end of December and I can't be happier. Attached is the build and after going back and forth on colors, I picked the GT Silver. I'll keep you updated as it develops.

Agree. Thanks BO and everyone else who’s shared time and .02’s. It was really helpful in finalizing my build. And tagave for the survey. Took last T allocation from my dealer. Glad to be done with contemplating on options!
Usually a lot of circular conversations and bickerings go on these forums but so far so good in this T club.
