Really interesting feedback. Thanks for sharing. Out of interest, have you driven a 991.2 Carrera T? Have covered over 16k miles in mine in its first 13 months. Would be interested in the view on the T of an experienced Porsche enthusiast. (Getting mine enhanced to 480hp soon.)
Sadly no but those who have seem to highly rate them.
What a beautiful collection of cars. Not envious at all...(!)
Interesting how you find the GTS - I just came home in mine on a 40 mile drive with motorway, fast A-roads and country lanes and it excelled on all of them. Even went shopping for the week along the way. I can’t think of a car that displays so many characters but feels like it was honed for all of them; also, it feels connected and mechanical, even though a lot of the work is being done by computers. Sunroof open, windows down, Sports mode, carving up a twisty, hilly road - it doesn’t get any better than that...

Oh how exciting, what option are you doing for the "enhancement"?

This. I have had multiple GT cars and currently have 997 RS and 991l2 RS. I wanted a manual daily to replace my F80 M3 and was set on a GTS. Drove a buddies T and fell for the car. Recently bought one with RAS, stick, and Carrera T interior, and no sunroof. Did 200cell cats and tune mentioned about. Car now puts out over 500/500 and sounds amazing. Absoutely walks my buddies GTS and is even with a 991.1 turbo (non-S) and is more enjoyable than ANY daily 911 I have driven. The gearbox is awesome and over 485 wheel TQ from 2k RPM is awesome. The tune just enhanced an already killer experience. Rumors is the 992 touring will allow backseats when u order non LWB which would be the ONLY thing I'd consider instead.

Work to be done by Litchfield Motors here in the UK. ECU remap, new manifolds, sports CATS and a Remus exhaust.
If you Google Litchfield Carrera T, you’ll see reviews on Iain Litchfield’s GT Silver Carrera T. Mine will be basically the same, but with a Remus exhaust instead of the Akrapovic. I’ve driven Iain’s car. It’s awesome.

Will you upgrade the brakes or not?
I have brand new GTS Big Red Brakes if you are interested.

I still don’t really get how the T is so much more enjoyable than a GTS.
is it the gearbox and or the smaller turbos with better response?
In my mind the T is just a little bit overhyped by the owners ;-)

Coming from only GT cars I thought the EXACT same. It only came across my radar after a buddy "made" me drive his. The turbos spool very fast with almost zero lag in Sport plus. The gearbox is sublime and seems the exact same as my brothers GT3 Touring albeit with one extra gear. The car feels super light on its feet that I didn't find on the GTS. Its kinda hard to describe as a package but it works so well!
I drove a T, Cab, Targa, GTS Coupe and a couple other variants and while they were all nice the Targa GTS was my favorite and the T just seemed nice, but not anything that special to me compared to the GTS.
I spent approximately 5 seconds deciding to buy my 991.2 GTS4 over a 911 T in a back to back drive. I honestly haven’t a clue what the hype is about. It almost seems militaristic in its fervor.
We know what we like and are willing to defend it. I would hope that you (insert your model here) guys would defend yours the same if you had all the folks lining up to bash it. Oh wait... You are... And no one has. Yet again we see guys getting in line to talk their smack about a T. Drink that Haterade, fellas. Drink deep. Time will tell where the sweet spot of the 991.2 really falls.
Either you get it or you don't, You guys obviously didn't. At least you drove one, unlike a lot of the jack wagons in here. But why then take it the next step and bash?
Anyway, Valar Dohaeris, go drive your car and pipe/type down.

If money is no object, total agreement the GTS4 is hands down the better car, it is a monster. We are talking about $40k more for the GTS4 over the T. There is a healthy buzz around the T, and that's a good thing. Kind of shows how good the base Carrera really is, which is what is sitting in my garage.
