In rough terms, half way between base and GT3, and same as GTS or S with PASM. My dealer said no as the nose/front bumper on the T is not as far forward as the GT3 splitter. Just be careful in the steepest inclines.

Truck delivered 911T today. Having owned a 2002 996 base, and a 2012 997 C4S, I have the following initial impressions after 50 miles

1. The level of refinement in the cabin is far better than previous generations
2. You can hear every bit of sand and road debris in the wheel wells
3. The engine.....personally, I love the response, feel, sound of this engine. It may be heresy, but I feel it is more "911ish" than previous iterations. There is just something that just seems to click when driving this car
4. The clutch.... it takes getting used to... but that's me, not the car
5. It cruises very, very nicely. A lot smoother than I expected
6. The Sportex seats are excellent. I love the "T" interior package

In summary, it has exceeded my expectations, and while before I may have longed for a GT3, this car may fit the bill for a few years to come.

Regards,

-Steve

Ladies and gents, overall, this car is in my opinion a bona-fide model offering, and not (as some say) some sort of marketing thing

Many congrats! Your new car looks great! White is my second favourite colour for the T!

Good to hear of your positive initial impressions. And I agree, the T is a model in its own right and will, I think, be a sought after version of the 991.2 in the future. My expectations have also been exceeded and I'm looking forward to putting another 400+ miles on mine this weekend.

My dad doesn't know how to work "forums" therefore I (son #1) will be documenting his T on his behalf. Car arrived at dealer yesterday and it will be collected on Saturday, April 14th, 2018. Pics to come. The build is as follows:

Miami Blue
Standard Interior in Black
PDK (His other track car is a manual and he wanted something different)
Rear Axle Steering (fell in love with this feature when driving a 991.2 S at the Porsche Experience center in Carson, CA)
Fire Extinguisher
PDLS
Deletion of '911 Carrera T' side logo
GT Sport Steering wheel in Alacantara
Full Lightweight Bucket Seats
Chrono Package with Porsche Track Precision App
Instrument Dials in White
Sport Chrono Clock Dial in White
Miami Blue Seat Belts

The car will be modified with:
GMG GT3 Replica Rollbar in Miami Blue
Bilstein Damptronic Coilovers
DSC Controller
Rotor/pad upgrade
Schroth 6-points
Exhaust TBD
