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

Option 2.

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

RAS that big of a deal?

That's the way I see it. Plus no sunroof (or PDK), which is blasphemy on a T. No offense to all those who opted for those

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.

I'm in no rush but thats likely what I'll be looking for.
Its hard to believe the number of used T's that have sunroofs

These are all dealer stock vehicles

If not mistaken when spec'd with light weight buckets it removes the rear seats. In that configuration you're got a nice 2 seater with some interior volume.

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.
