ADD POWER GO STRAIGHT FAST. ADD LIGHTNESS GO EVERYWHERE FAST- quote by Colin Chapman founder of Lotus Cars.
The T technical sheet from Porsche says it weighs 3,142 pounds
replace exhaust with Kline iconel, replace wheels with Carbon revolution, replace battery with antigravity RS30- reduce weight of car to 3000 pounds.
The tech sheet on the RSR cup car says it weighs 2740 pounds. So three simple mods to your T (if speced lightly when purchased) and you are potentially 260 pounds shy of race car weight while still maintaining daily driving street ability. I think this makes the T an amazingly good platform.

Lunch. Ate. These cars are more than just pure numbers and percentages. They're feelings. If statistics is what drives your love of a street car, then have at it. Not for me to say.
We know you love your CJC Option w/X51 kit car, mano. Happy for you. You post about it loud and often; even in threads that have nothing to do with it, you know, like this one... Good for you. But between this post and then your trolling on the PSP follow-on one... To each their own. Ultimately, as was pointed out to you fairly nicely in a response given your questioning someone's manhood based on a fricken build option, that is what matters in the end. Thanks!

The manual tranny 400 Hp 991.1 C2S Coupe thati recently traded was fun to drive, and 111 lbs lighter than the manual T. And it had a more responsive engine. That doesn't mean i think it was better than these 991.2s.
Nuff said. I rest my case and will move on.

I don’t know, you can’t get LWB on an S or GTS. If it was like the rest of the world and North America could get folding buckets that would be a non-issue. Sure an S with X51 is faster (and a lot more money, apples to apples), but with that thinking you should be buying a GT2RS. 
But you can get PTS and LTS on an S. Porsche slices things real thin, but at the same time makes it so you can’t quite get it your way. Lol.
If I we’re specing a T it would be LWB, model designation delete, stickers delete, autodim, fire extinguisher, free leather dash/console trim, multifunction wheel (so I could swap in a wood MF wheel for the mandatory alcantara wheel that you have to get to get LWB). With the LWB you don’t get the sporttex seats so T interior package is a lot of money for not much stitching, plus I dislike deviated stitching.. If I was looking to spend more money on the interior I’d get leather interior and leather vents and vent slats.
