The world doesn't need a lot of things that Porsche has given it. And I'm sure there will be more in the future. Having said that, I don't mind the Cayman T. I like the Cayman, so the T is not a bad thing to me.

I agree - I think they may have stretched the 718 moniker too far with the T. Especially with the Spyder / GT4 just around the corner. I'm placing my bets that they will not sell many, espcially now that the word has leaked about the flat-6 returning to the 982.

A base 718, 718T, or 718S are in a completely different price category than a GT4 or Spyder. The NA 6 is only going in the latter two.

The 718 T is not on the site yet.

Funny!
My family rolled their eyes when I ordered a set of original floor mats to replace the ones that came with my car (being that they are highly available and inexpensive right now). I simply put them on a shelf in my garage, forecasting many years of enjoying the car and someday wanting the ability to swap for that fresh like new look. I did not consider the second car option to vacuum seal a replacement ... ;-)
I too am super glad that I pursued the Carrera T option in my desire to get a 911 (again - I had in the past a guards red 1988 G series Carrera). I'm so happy with the fortunate timing on being able to swing it last summer with $$ and a build slot, euro deliver window in august 2018, how the 991.2 style looks, the T feature set offered, and how cool it is to be able to find ways to individualize my factory and aftermarket options. When I look through by 50 years of Porsche 911 book, I find that I gravitate to the 1970s 911T, 80s G series, and the 991.2 family body stylings. Super sexy lines on each of these particular generations IMO. My Carrera T sort of tries to melt all of these into a "best of" blend.
I do have a personal promised that I made to myself, after having deep regrets in trading in that former 911 a few years ago. Keep all my current cars and resist the temptation to part with any of them. Each is unique and has a nostalgic or special reason I use to justify my stable mentality. Certain cars (usually German) are able to remain wonderful, no matter how old.
My post college 2nd hand VW beetle (1967 - same year as me). I restored it over a few years in the late 90s. Been with it 26 years now.
I had a 2015 Golf R with an awesome rally graphics wrap, but this got totaled a few weeks ago - very sad to see it go. Insurance replacement has yielded me the new cornflower blue VW Golf Rabbit Edition GTI. My new daily driver for city traffic to work. The Clark plaid tartan seats, amazing blue color, and the red accents are hard to say no to.
Then I have my two super models... PTSEHE and 911T, each are just downright amazing.
I can safely say that all my automotive itches are scratched with this collection. For those thinking 2 Carrera Ts, I get it ;-)

its a bit of a compromise . I wanted 19 inch wheels but couldn’t bear to scratch my new pccb calipers. So had to stick with 20 inch. I’m running Street class with ScCA so stock widths. So went cheaper 20x11.5 and 20x8.5 OZ Hyper GT HLT wheels in Star Graphite. Pretty color that matches look of Gray T trim. Picked up some cheap eBay Porsche center caps to give it more of OEM look.
Tires are RE71 R. Not much to choose from in 20 inch sizes. 245/35/20 front and 295/30/20. Tire rack won’t mount the smaller 295 on 11.5 .....unless you tell them wheels are for off-road only. 295 isn’t overly stretched and contact patch isn’t too much smaller than 305 PS4s on my stock wheels.

Carrera T tune
So far I did high flow air filter, Akrapovic exhaust and Cobb tune Car runs unbelievably smooth and fast. T model got exelent foundation ( suspension , rear wheel steering, MT , and other little detail not available on base model) and with little tune you getting in to close to 500 hp all for low 100k . It is low production and Unix model.
