you are wellcome, did 150km/h, which is about 90miles /h. I could easily have a chat with dealer. Of course there is noise, but not too bad. If you go slower the tyre noises etc. are ofcourse less. So very practical car for daily usage. I dont know why there are some reviews about excess noise with this car. That is not true. I have pirelli tyres. Would prefer michelins, but this is how porsche delivered the car.

If you drive on good roads (asphalt, not concrete) the car is quiet enough. But if you drive fast thru concrete it is a bit noisier. Now, if you drive on ridged concrete, it sounds like a jet taking off...

+1. But it was the same in my Macan, 991.1 C2 and even the Panamera. I would say the T is a little noisier than my 991.1 C2, but not much. And this is to be expected due to the reduced sound deadening material, even with lightweight glass deleted.

I do sometimes actually regret deleting the lightweight rear glass, but hey ho...

Burmester cuts through all road noise as well as the extra wind noise from hauling a bike on the roof

Going today to finalize my build that is it, I am all over the place on the rear wiper and glass as I expect to drive it in the winter on certain days.. hmmm!!! I just think the rear lightweight glass is such a cool feature even if I have to clean it LOL!

Agreed about lightweight glass being a cool feature.

Mine's a sole car and daily driver, so will be driven throughout the winter, so got standard glass with heated rear screen. No wiper though.

Ha Nice, I can't wait for mine, order is in today! Unfortunately I did not stay true to the T concept but honestly with traffic here and the weather the way it is I just need to get something I will enjoy even if it gives up a bit of that stripper concept. I did however get some really cool unique features, the sales person mentioned it may really be a special one.. can't wait to peg that redline

Here are a few pictures of our T. 1400 kms so far. Still in 'keep-under-4000-kms' break in mode. Ours would be considered by some as a stripper - PDLS lights, sports chrono clock, auto dimming rear mirrors plus few other small details. Love the noise. Base radio is totally adequate for our listening needs. Drive mainly in Sport mode. Will wait for break in to complete before driving in Sport+. We’re heading on a 2000+ km road trip to east coast US and Canada in a few weeks - east from Toronto to Eastern Townships, Quebec. From Brome, Quebec to Vermont through Maine and then up east coast to New Brunswick. Return trip through Quebec City and Montreal and then back to Toronto.

Which dealer are you working w/? What are the special features you got? I think the lightweight rear glass is a must, but not getting it is excusable due to the unique rear wiper you're getting.

Yes

Don’t know if all local dealers switch out orange side markers but Pfaff delivers all 911’s with clear markers.
