Thanks! I get nearly as much joy looking at it as I do driving it.

Very neat! Great looking DIY. Do you know if any vendor sells something similar for those who may not be as handy as you?

Beautiful color combo and Big Sur highway 1 is a wonderful drive.

Just curios, but the T does not have navigation, right, or is that an option that can be added back in? Realize one of the goals for T is to save weight.

As I am exceedingly lazy, sadly could not find one. Could be an entrepreneurial opportunity for someone.

Your Guards Red T looks amazing! Loving the Carrera T Interior Package too! Congrats, and enjoy!

I'm not typically a red car guy but I've had two Guards Red 911's. Just love the color. Pics above almost make me feel like a made a mistake in getting GT Silver.

Originally, I was only going to do some of it an at a relaxed pace (set by a 991.2 GT3RS) since I was only at ~750 miles and trying to be good during break-in, but I succumbed and just let her rip. I still did short shift just a bit, but did see 6k RPM a couple of times. This car is totally amazing! You could brake for days with the PCCBs (not that I needed too), and when the RAS kicked in you literally felt like you were being pulled in the direction of your turn by an external force. The only way to describe this is with a track analogy - Turn 1 at Road Atlanta used to (since changed ) have this little lip inside turn 1. If you could hook your wheels into it, it would help slingshot you through the turn. This is what RAS felt like to me. Totally impressed!

The motor felt great even though I didn't get to max RPM and the turbos kept power on everywhere. I never felt lacking in power or wishing I had more. I'll save my final decision until after a proper track day, but it's got me wondering if a tune is even worth it (for me). I bought this car specifically for "usable performance" and am not chasing the stat wars any longer, and bottom line I am impressed!

The 7 speed manual is just a dream and the gearing is perfect. Heck, I even used 7th gear on the long ride home just to check it out . Rev matching is just icing on the cake.

I was in Sport mode, but without PASM Sport until I remembered and turned it on about 3/4 of the way through the day. it kept the car flatter and wasn't that much harsher. It's so good that it does make me wonder how the DSC Sport v3 might improve it all.

Anyway, very fun day chasing 2 GT cars and followed by a Turbo S. We even had another T in the mix. Fun times!
Great post and sounds like a fun drive out! I too am now reconsidering my urge to upgrade the exhaust and get the engine tuned. The T just feels like such a complete package. I am still getting Litchfield to carry out their handling modifications next week though!

GT Silver does look super-classy though!

Luckily the T looks great in every colour; you just pick your favourite ‘flavour’ of T!

Congratulations on joining the T Club! I now have 2,400 miles on mine and it is also my first Porsche. You will LOVE it!!

What part of red and yellow don't go together. Many international companies use those exact colors in their logo/company colors. In addition Porsche chose a caliper color years ago that they thought would go with their color palette

I knew I definitely wanted a Guards Red 911T, and used the Unity plug-in from the Porsche custom configurator to view my build thoroughly. (BTW, I’m very disappointed that this no longer exists)

when I showed my circle of people the images from my spec, they we reminded of various food chains...

The black satin wheels with the black brake calipers looks bad *** IMO. Brakes even work well, for not being carbon. My gallery shows some close ups.
