Does it breath well in the heat? I live in the desert, so that is very important here.

Thanks!
IMO SportTex fabirc breathes well... but Im in Chicago not in a desert ....

I noticed the difference when I got back into a car with leather seats that my back was getting damp... never happened in the T.

At the moment from what I have learned the tunes available for the T or Base can only re-map the ECU for a 20% gain. Adding headers, cats and exhaust will help add to that 20% gain. The X51 kit includes the GTS turbos and as far as I know after talking to COBB they are still working on the ECU for a custom tune which you will need to make the GTS turbos work on a Base or T ECU.
This is my plan, adding the GTS turbos to my T down the road after the tuners get a re-mapping done and tested.

Thanks for that observation. It seems almost everyone is happy with the SportTex.

We are in SoCal, just did a 120 mile drive yesterday and the seats were great, much cooler than full leather or Alcantara in our other cars, Looks great too in The Carrera T interior pkg.

On rear steer. Anyone stationed at tight autocross corner watching GT3 will understand why you want this option. Turn in on slower turns is magic. Tighter turning circle than a 718.

Interesting stats! Thanks for putting together and sharing! Pleased to see that only around 10% of the above Ts are yellow.

Anyone have any idea on likely total worldwide production numbers for 991.2 Carrera Ts?
