I will have this car for the rest of my life. Sitting at Sharkwerks now waiting for the exhaust and tune to be installed

Also, some pictures from Marin last weekend.

I plan on keeping mine until I die! I want to be that old man with a high mileage Porsche that he bought new. I'm a little over 35k miles so I have a ways to go. At least they will be fun filled miles!!!!

That is EXACTLY how I feel!

My T will be five years old next week and is a little over 45k miles/smiles!

Have done a few mods with Litchfield Motors and the T is going back there next month for a brake upgrade!

Waiting for warmth to arrive so I can drive mine again, winter has lingered on too long.

Sharkwerks says I should get a new battery soon. Is the Antigravity battery the way to go? Anyone have suggestions on if to go 30, 40 or 60 Ah?

The base price for a 992 T on the configurator jumped to $125k now. Prices are ridiculous. MSRP for my car was $116k and that included LWBS. The 992 is a lot less of a bargain proposition for sure, but if you want a new one spec’d to your liking, it may be the only option to have a manual and some decent performance options (no PCCB though!). Certainly not a strong enough argument for me to jump out of the 991 T.

What are you using the car for? If it is just street driving then get a standard battery, why pay 3-4x the cost to save a couple of pounds that you’ll never notice driving on the street? Even if you’re doing occasional track days, what does shaving 30-40lbs really gain you? The Li batteries still have to be replaced every few years, now you are buying batteries that are $1000 instead of $250. Mostly this is an exercise in ego racing.

Love your car, Flasch! And the Marin pics. I went with the 60 Ah antigravity battery to support my sound system. Working great so far, and lost 35lbs. You may be able to use smaller if nothing extra to support.






Hope to have my T for quite a while!!

I will be using the car for competition, but I really just want to weight savings to make up for my cars FAL. Good points though. I found that FCP Euro carries Antigravity batteries, so they will replace them for free. Just a one time extra ~$500.

Thanks for the photos. I have found a Carrera T with 43,000 miles for sale. and a Speed Yellow with 13,000 miles. They are about 7,000 dollars difference.

If you can plunk the extra 7k down that basically the difference between a new and used car, IMO. Plus the Yellow T's look great!

Your wheels have inspired me!

Are they the Apex VS-5RS Forged Sprint Line wheels?

I have a 2018 991.2 Carrera T.

May I ask what you ordered on your Apex wheels in terms of widths, offsets and PCDs?

I’m looking at 20” wheels in clear finish.

Thanks!
