I tried to google "back-to-black" realized I needed to turn the safety filter back on for google and then only found Amy Winehouse sound lyrics...What is it?

It was a great ride! Thanks again for helping me scratch the itch a bit!

Nothing is a ‘must have’, but I would add RAS.

I think you have the must haves IMO
Manual
LWBS - opens many doors to fun color and style points😀 just plain cool.

The noticible nice to haves would be the leather dash with corresponding contrast stitching (crowd pleaser), it is clearly subjective as to need.

Front axle lift, depends on your driveway😀

all wheel steering is probably accessory overkill if you are looking to forfeit as much as possible, even though it is a new an unique option for a near base model.

Many other exterior options you can find and add later if you really wanted them (spoilers, wheels, badges).

I suspected that one, having driven my share of GT cars the RAS 'feels' weird to me...

I'm sort of, seriously sort of, dabbling in a T.

I like low option cars, and I actually prefer the 18 ways to the buckets (keep in mind I like buckets, I have pole positions in 2 of my cars, I just find the LWB uncomfortable, had them in my GT4). Lift I don't need, the car isn't that low. Full leather is pretty to look at. I'd prefer leather steering wheel/shifter, but I don't have gorilla hands LOL.

If you can live with the buckets and rear seat delete, that's a near perfect build, in my opinion. I'm in the simpler is better camp on the T, thus no RAS. But I certainly wouldn't let its presence (or absence) sway me from a good build.

I used to feel the same about simplicity and RAS, until I learned how simple RAS actually is. And it makes the car that much closer to a GT3 touring. Personally, I don't think I would get buckets unless I was tracking a lot, and then I'd probably get PDK as well. That's just purely my opinion. For me, the T is a touring car, so 18ways for long distance comfort and backseat for my daughter. I get the manual and LWBs only thing, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Or should I say, for me.

RAS is missing. PCCBs are also an absolute must for me but I think there is general consensus on RAS, 7MT, and no sunroof.

No more buckets for me either, had my fill with GT4 and GT3...and I love the 2+2 platform. I agree with you, on the T, less is more. RAS and PCCBs only real musts for me.

None. Great spec. Jump on it before they are gone and you won't regret it. The cool thing about the T is you can pretty much make it (or accept it as) anything you want it to be. It's the Carrera Swiss Army Knife...

I skipped the buckets. In friends cars I have spent some time with I just think they are a waste for me on the street. They make getting in and out of the car more of an event.

Will have to see what they offer me on a trade... I sort of need to get rid of a car or 2, but if i could do a lowish $ swap on a T i'd give it a go. I really don't need another sports car at the moment.
