I had to put in things that defeat the whole point of the T like Rear wheel steering etc. I just don't know that I am doing the right thing here. Seems super strange to me. I would hate to not like the first one! Not to mention the dealer is also making me buy a watch which is likely 90% profit to them so they dont have to markup. The whole process thus far has been horrible, unfriendly, sketchy and really upsetting! Happy to share my build spec. I just feel dirty!
Have you made a deposit yet? May want to reconsider, or put the negotiating hat on.

Find another dealer. You're not getting the car you want. Any dealer that says a minimum of $150k for a 911T (and you have to buy a watch - seriously, they are "forcing" you to buy a watch????) needs to go take a hike. At its core, it's a car. A nice car, to be sure, but it's a car. When I hear words like "the dealer made me option out the car" and "making me buy a watch" I instead hear "they need to be reported to the BBB for being a bunch of jerks". Walk. Find another dealer. Better still, search for a good used one that more matches what you want.

If you go PDK,
reminder that only the S gets an electronic diff…
ao you want to go manual with the T..
go PDK with the S if you are going to track it…
