The issue I have is, to me, the base 911 is PHENOMENAL. Of course the S, GTS, and all the others are great too. But to me their reason for being "better" than a base Carrera is options, not power. And the T solves that.
The Boxster/Cayman are a slightly different story. The upgrade from the Base 2.0 to the 2.5 in the S/GTS is significant. It truly distinguishes it as a better car and experience. The Boxster/Cayman T? Not so much.
The perfect weekend 911 for me would be a manual Carrera T. The perfect weekend 718 Boxster/Cayman remains the GTS (but I'm not trading my 981 for one).

They'll get my money when they release the 718 Spyder. Or whatever the heck that wailing 718 Boxster mule was caught going around the Ring recently.

That's a "From my cold, dead hands" kind of car. Everything after that is just marketing and Sino-European engineering.

SS,
While you count down the minutes to your T arriving, there are some pretty good shots and videos posted in Stout's original T review - see first link below. There's some other reading here on T's too.
That list will keep you busy and away from opening another controversial "T" thread any time before your car arrives.
Starting with the professional reviews.. (Stout's required reading ...including 911T and GTS in the South of France)

I was set on ordering a 718 GTS, drove 718 and 911 back to back. On public roads 911 felt so much better but I am getting old.

Don't get me wrong. I like the Carrera T. ( I was actually comparing the 981 to 718). I was close to buying one myself. The car is great, it's the self-absorbed owners that are the problem. But then again , that can apply to almost any Porsche model, even the SUVs. I guess that is just what happens when you buy into a lifestyle brand.
Enjoy your T.
