Probably only for typos, etc. Doubt I removed any content—but there's always going to be more in the magazine.

The scale of and space in 000, with 30-90 page feature stories, allows me to post here with more freedom/less concern about undermining the print piece than I ever had at Exc or Pano. It's just a different experience—so you can consider those Rennlist threads as notes from the road. I do go back to reference them, the difference is they no longer live and die in a notebook that ends up in the back of a drawer.

Based on RL posts looks like less Carrera T's built than GT3 Touring. Not the same car but interesting.

Okay, perhaps I remembered your thread wrong. I thought your first post in the thread had a long, detailed description. It would be great to see you revive the thread with your current thoughts/impressions as I believe you've had more seat time in the Carrera T since your last post there. And I think some of your early impressions have changed/evolved, correct?

Looks that way. And way fewer T's than total GT3's; to me this is the comparison since the GT3 touring is a GT3 with the touring package/wing-delete option and not a separate model. PAG really cranked out the 991.2 GT cars.

Went back and looked. First post with detailed info is on the first page, a few posts down. First post was a "heads up" for what was to come. Quite a lot of detail flowed from there, and I think all of those first impressions there stand up as such.

Yes my impressions/thoughts have evolved, as even driving my Carrera 7MT to the US press event in Napa and spending a day in the T on roads I know failed to help me truly nail down its dynamic differences. That required having a Carrera handy for back to back driving and more seat time on the right roads than nearly any other test I can think of over 20 years—which required quite an investment on 000's part: 2-3 days and 600-800 miles on the loop, more days in for research, and still more days for writing and editing—plus hiring Larry Chen for top-shelf photography. It wasn't a cheap production. So while I've shared a great deal here on Rennlist freely, I should probably retain some value in 000, too. It is, after all, the day job that allows me to post (hopefully useful) information on RL as freely as I do. There's no other magazine I've worked for (or can think of, for that matter) that would allow me to share as much info as I have on Rennlist of late…as 000 is largely its own thing. All that said, if people revive threads and I can add to them, I probably will.

^ Ah, that's the other thing: Don't want to rob that experience from those who step up to buy 000. Could see where it becomes a spoiler. Have thought about that from time to time, and this is a reminder to be careful there.

Anyone with a Carrera T should spend the measly $75 to get issue 006. It's easily worth it.

^ Thanks, you two! I sometimes wonder if I should have ordered a T, after all. It was thaaaaat close. Love Brewster Green, but the T is an undeniably attractive package…

Had we done the 000 test before I made my order, it just might've been a T!

Nope.
