Hello all,

I am part of the "T owners club" too since about two weeks now. Love my GT Silver one ;-) Did a swap from a 2017 base Carrera white color with some options.

Only issue is that rear window with a "wave" inside. See: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1150...dow-issue.html

Seems also that it is a low production car: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1111...-stats-17.html

So far, like it very very much !

Congrats on your new toy!

How do you find the T vs the base Carrera? Curious what differences you notice between the two?

@_fletch thank you and great question indeed. I got it pre-built from the parking lot so I could not really select my options but the included ones were ok.

I definitively find it more tight and with better handling. That 10mm lower ride and the "tighter rear constant transaxle with a mechanical limited-slip differential and torque vectoring" makes a lot of difference. Very noticeable for me. I could test that in a mountain road near home.

Also the T exhaust sound is great : I did not have the sport exhaust option on my previous car, so now I can really appreciate to get some good exhaust notes. Guess what ... I am no more listening to the radio and just open a bit the windows and enjoy that exhaust.

The only thing I miss is the LCA option. It really saved me a couple of time with the previous car.

This is a PDK by the way as I am using it as a daily driver and there is a lot of traffic in the SF Bay and it would just wear down the manual gear box.

One difference is the glass roof compared to the tilting roof. Both are great and have their advantages and drawbacks. I like it because it gives a great look to the car.

Feel free to ask more questions :-)

Fabrice

I don't think you will find them on the minicamps site. They were done as a limited run for a model store in Stuttgart. I don't have one near me, but the boxes are marked with the stores logo. When you go directly to the store's site you will find they made several variations beyond just the standard colors. I recall T's with gold wheels and I think a few other variations.

So is 991 T production over? No more T models until the 992?

I have the same "wave" in the back window of my 2019 Carrera T. It is almost impossible to see other than looking through the rearview mirror. My wave is only about 1" in length and not too noticeable. I brought it to the attention of my service advisor but told him to only note it in the event that it leads to an issue in the future. For now, I will leave the original window in place.

Thank you for that feedback. Yes I was thinking to do the same thing but my dealer ordered and already received the rear window so I am going to swap it next week.

I will report back how it goes. Keep your finger crossed for me.

I've counted a few including a guy I saw on IG.

Btw, heading up to Alice tomorrow morning at around 8am. If you are around, hope to see you there!

Ahhh that will be very cool, breakfast ? Sorry I won't be able to make it as I have other plans for tomorrow and want to keep the car in the garage until it gets wrapped next week. I have been to Alice's the first week I got the car and the mountain road was fun. but we got a few scary moments with some big trucks...

We should definitively regroup all of us and do something like that in the near future.

I cleaned my T yesterday after buying it Friday of last week. Washed then polished with p21s paintwork cleaner and sealed with optimum opti-seal.

@737gdog she looks super great ! I have the same color ... so I am super biased ;-)

Are you planning any protection film ? If yes, which one. If not, please tell us why.
