Help me decide 911T spec
Hey Guys,
Starting a new project. I have a few options that the dealer is sending me.
What spec would you pick?

Any thoughts would be appropriated
Best,

Option 2.

Easy. Option 3. It is the only one with RAS.

In a world where the Boxster/Cayman did not exist my fun Porsche would be a manual 911 T with RAS.
I can't say based on my own experience whether RAS is worth it. My 911 does not have it. But given the differences between my Boxster and 911 I'd spec RAS were I to go the T route. In the reviews I've read and videos I've watched RAS has been given almost universal praise. If it can take the already superb 911 and make it feel a little smaller/more nimble all the better.

I should have put this in the original post. I have a Black GT4 in the garage with red contrasting stitching. Not that that should dictate anything here but just calling it out if it simply came down to GT Silver or Black.

Ideally, you want RAS and MT. And you do not want a sunroof. But the most critical of all is getting the 7MT and NOT PDK. I don’t get speccing PDK on the Carrera T at all.

It’s like some others here have pointed out, the cars available now are dealer specs and most dealers are not that bright and obviously didn’t understand the Carrera T at all. It’s a shame that more enthusiasts didn’t get to spec these cars.

My 991.2 has RAS and it does make a huge difference in the way the car tracks through sweeping corners. Gives it that superior mid engine feeling

Just goes to show most T owners don't understand their own car, but perhaps additionally that Porsche compromised the car for the sake of sales. This is the first T in 50 years. They market it as a purist's 911. Well if you add PDK and a sunroof you break mold from the concept, which makes no sense. To me you make the car as light as possible as it's only 50 pounds lighter than the base car (although does have a mechanical diff). So you spec light weight buckets and PCCB (also for superior braking power) as a must in that regard, and RAS just because it makes the car corner. Then you have a far better option over a 718 Cayman GTS, other than fuel economy which is surprisingly terrible in the T. That you give up for increased acceleration due to the shorter final gear.

I like option 1, probably the best spec possible, with the “less is more” mantra.
