911 T owners club

I went with the Carrera T because it was a little more special than the base and allowed me a few options the base did not allow (RAS & LWB). I viewed the modern Carrera T as a driver's car and not as a more utilitarian/economical 911. Paying up for the Lava Orange and the LWB seats was never a hesitation. That being said, I toyed between a complete "base" Carrera T in white and no options and my current model, so I can see the value in both!

My SA was Kevan Chughtai and he was great to work with.
They currently have 4 more Ts in stock.

I wanted a more unique color badly...but was warned not to buy lava without seeing it first..I had to go to California to see one and I do understand why...it throws odd hues in certain light..but that was not my issue...I just really wanted the "matchy matchy interior" In my case Guards Red with Red T Interior. Had there been another option to compliment it...
I doubt many people will want to fork over the extra money for lava on the T. It's a polarizing color, to say the least (visit the GT3 forum for endless threads on it). And part of what makes the T appealing is that it's a financially smart package, so nonessential cost options such as the "special" colors will likely be a quick pass for most. For these reasons, I don't expect to ever see one in person.

Show of hands........ who's actually driven a T without RAS??
Not questioning the value of RAS at all, but curious to know who among those who have cars with RAS have also driven a T without it? Any concrete, like for like comparisons that can be drawn?

Same way with the lightweight buckets. There are posters that say they are a must have in a T. I would hate my car using then daily.

Can anyone tell me if the base sound system has a sub-woofer unit? And where it’s located?
i think mine has too much base. Was able to turn base down - my more than in other cars.
ideally would like to remove it

Sound Package Plus
Sound Package Plus, with eight loudspeakers and a total output of 150 watts, delivers excellent sound. The amplifier integrated into PCM optimally adapts the acoustic pattern in the vehicle interior to the driver and front passenger." .. So, no subwoofer... If there were one, I'm sure porsche would have specifically called it out as they did in their bose and burmester audio system upgrades.

You really have to do this yourself. I don't have it, test drove an S with it. Can tell the difference but not enough to matter for me to deal with potential reliability issues down the road (unfounded fear but I plan on keeping the car as long as I can) I find this forum to be similar to the audio forums I frequent. There are those with very strong opinions and then others take it as gospel. I mean there are many who spend thousands on interconnects and power cables and say it's a quantum leap in perforamce. I spent a few hundred just because and I can't tell a lick of difference.

What should I name my Carrera T?
Quick poll of my fellow Carrera T owners:
What should I name my new T? My outgoing Audi A6 was Axel. I’m thinking the Carrera T is either Hans or Klaus. Thoughts?
