911 T owners club

Thinking (because I got nothing better to do while waiting) of deleting the lightweight glass and Wiper.
Do I still get the defroster with the regular glass (minus wiper)? I know the button is always there regardless of the option you select.
That way still have the clean look and get the useful defroster. But of course you lose the light weight glass and talking point that it is the same option as in the GT2

I understand your position. The worst thing about ordering a car is the wait. I have to remind myself everyday not to second guess myself. I pretraded my 981 Cayman the dealer sold it in less than a week. (I loved that car) I would keep the light weight glass. It is those little differences that make the T special.

Went with Manual just because T

Yeah I went back and forth over my color choice for a long time. The last couple weeks I have been beating myself up over buying a new 911 over buying and old school one. I think My problem is I want all of them. I haven’t met a 911 I didn’t like. Since I pretraded my Cayman I currently don’t have any Porsche product in the garage. ☹️. To add salt to the wound a service tech at the dealer bought my Cayman and immediately called me to talk to me about it. Fortunately we have the rennlist support network to talk us down. Until our cars are delivered. Lol

Just hang in there, use this enabling network to your advantage, and stay the course! Totally worth it in the end!

I vote stay with the light weight glass. Even in the northern climes you are in, do you really need a wiper or a defroster? Squigee that bad boy off, drive faster so the H20 can't touch ya, and crack that window if it gets a bit heated!

your definetly rite about the cayman. I was attached to it. But one drive in the T and I was like WOW. I know I am gonna forget all about the cayman once I get my T . The poke in the eye is every time I go out to the garage and see a big open bare spot where my Porsche is supposed to be sitting.

It will be interesting to see how bad the rear window is for defrosting here in Canada. I may just need to let the car warm up longer whenever she's parked outdoors at work (she'll be in the garage at night)

wish they don’t do it. But at least its considered the best and I prefer 991.2 styling over 992

August is going to continue the T when the 992 comes along.....https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...carrera-t-992/

I don’t think we see T in the future, or if it appears again, would be late of 992 cycle. It is part of porsches heritage models, like R was. I bet we are seeing E when hybrid comes.
Interesting to see how speedster is affecting gt3 touring pricing. Lots of gt3 based cars looking for new owners. But the T, very few manufactured and soon coming to end.

Received a call back from my dealer today, unfortunately I've missed out. No more allocations in Australia or New Zealand (we get the same car, so the dealers can swap allocations.) I was a week too late apparently. Last allocation being spoken for late last week.
They have offered two CT's already built and in stock.
Of the two, the black car is more appealing. I'd rather the fixed buckets, but the sports buckets and back seat use are probably a good thing, as is the PCM and sports chrono being there.
The wheels aren't my first choice either, but its the sunroof that is the one option that really irks me. Just goes against the "T ness". Well, most of the spec does.

Thank you for your time earlier – whilst it might not be the outcome we hoped for, all is not lost.
As discussed, we have both our black CT and another white CT available in NZ, which completes our allocation. See below:

Not sure f this is helpful considering we are on two different continents. But hopefully it might be. Here in the states there are allready several T’s with under 1000 miles for sale used. I was checking them out while waiting on my order to come in. I was able to find a couple that had proper T options. Maybe you can find one in you neck of the woods that is similar. Opposed to buying one that is not close enough to what you want.
Also I would definitely not take the dealers word with out checking other dealerships. Here in the states dealers play that same game all the time. ( sorry we couldn’t get an allocation but if you buy this one we have here we will hook you up with a GT WHATEVER next year) I can’t tell you how many people I have heard from that got hosed by dealers here in the states over that same promise. I have also seen guys go to another dealer after getting that song and dance and get an allocation an order exactly what they wanted.

Recieved word that that my car should be delivered week befor Xmas! Perfect present! I’m so excited!
Curious us does anyone know where manual gear ratios for T are published? Can’t seem to find them in tech specs.
