I picked up this cool hardback marketing book from my dealer. They said they only had one and since production is done they didn't mind me taking it. Pretty cool since I have a yellow car that matches the press material. I'll keep the book along with all the other material on the car. Might be worth asking your dealer if they have one of the books.

Interesting...

I do love the rear-pendulum feel of this car in the corners, it is amazing. It is my favorite part of ownership. The differential on this car is sublime.

this is a great write up and ALL the reason I wanted the T. I’ll end up selling at the bottom and kick myself 15 years later but doesnt matter - really loving my T.

I think for pretty much all of us, selling high will/would be icing on the cake. If or when that day ever comes.

Default Using all the gears

Is it just me or does anyone else find they never make it beyond 3rd gear?

Im driving mostly twisty back roads (not on the highway) so its 35-70 mph - hardly ever find myself in 4th and pretty much never 5th.

Im starting to see why some say the 7 speed doesnt make sense.

awesome transmission- dont get me wrong, but how fast would I need to be going to use 7th gear?

I actually like having 7 gears. I see it more of a 6+1 configuration. The 7th gear to me is a cruising gear. I don't go much above 5th gear in daily driving with the occasional 6th gear, but that's just the way my commute is. Yes, on windy backroads I'm usually 3rd or 4th. But, I can see going on longer tours with lots of hwy driving that I would use the 7th gear quite a bit. I think having 7 gears also helps getting the ratio closer, which is nice. My 2 cents.

Just highway cruising for fuel economy.

Half of my commute is highway and in 7th I can cruise at 80mph at just over 2000 RPM. It really is a 6 plus one.

Not sure how I missed this. That is insane and gorgeous!

Also very pretty. PCCBs would have been a perfect fit.

I built my T, GR, PCCB, Yellow T interior package, yellow wart and IMO it looks great. And i have thought of replacing the Agate T side strip with speed yellow but have not yet. As more than a few have said this is their favorite Porsche and I am fortunate to have an RS.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset and having a blast getting to know the T. I love this car! Great fun on the country roads!

The cushion on the LWB seats is a North American thing (presumably to meet federal headrest regulations) which European and other market cars do not have.

First start with T after 6 months of winter storage.

well, surprise surprise, dead battery. asked about this with dealers last autumn, he told that battery should last, well it did not. Anyone had similar issues?

Have to admit, that it was some strugle to jump start T. Had to open the door from the lock with small key. Second problem, cant get to the battery, because front compartment cannot open without battery. Yes, the battery is there. From the fuse box, had to connect it to bmw’s battery with cables to open the front comparment. Then easily jump started T with cables. So if anyone have to experience this, not too easy.

okay, so guys do you think it is normal that battery dries in six months? Everything was shut down prior, but still the battery dried. Stored in warm place. Maybe next winter have to use porches charger for a while.
