Pete, come stop by and grab my 992 base so you can feature it in your 000 magazine. You can keep it for a few months if you'd like.

BTW, love the 006 mag T meets base article
A tempting offer, as PCNA has yet to notify 000 of a base Carrera in the fleet…

And glad you dug 006's story on the base & T—it was a lot of fun to put together!

992 GT3 and GT3RS mules has been spotted out on the track.

Perhaps look at a trade-up?

This is would be interesting if the T has this. Can anyone confirm it? This alone would set apart the 991.2 base vs. T

That is something I have considered, and it may be the most prevalent idea yet. I think I may track my 992 C2. See how it goes and I'll report back. I need a car that can provide me double duty on the weekends (be it track or vacation trips). Maybe the 992 will scratch that itch.. we will see.

Any thoughts from anyone else with considering waiting for the 992 GT3 and having it as a primary double duty car?

Again, for me it's the centerlocks that make a 3 harder to daily. I'm a screw magnet. In the T I can be operational in 5-10 mins. Even a rear puncture I can deal with, it just involves a double change. Getting stuck with no spare is not cool. If there were a centerlock spacesaver spare it would be a game changer.

Rumors 992 GT3 touring with sofas will have backseat option. This would be the ONLY way to get me out of my T!!!

Rear seats aren't a deal breaker. We have plenty of cars for the job.. my question specifically if I sold the 992 & decided to keep the 991.2 T; could it pull double duty with weekend getaways & also track duty? I know the 992 can be great for weekends, but I am unsure of it's capabilities for track duty.

-Don't let anyone here tell you what the "right spec" is for your 911 either.
-The PDK is awesome for track work...thinking about getting another P-car for track and I'm absolutely getting PDK, hopefully PDK-S in the GT4 RS
-I love my T...absolutely love it. Maybe I'm weird but I think its one of the best 911s out there. Some will argue that saying its a "parts bin" special. Maybe so...I like what I like and I think the car is special!

DM me if you want any more info on anything T...I'm sure some other owners will weigh in. Hopefully I wasn't giving you black pearls with the PDK stuff.
Can anyone confirm that?

I believe that's not the case. No E dif on a pdk T. We need to reconcile this once and for all. A Porsche tech or foremen should know.

I agree. I had hoped this subject was put to bed, but I guess not. Even Nick Murray's Carrera T review with PDK mentioned there is still shorter gearing, and LSD/PTV on the Carrera T he was driving.

AND, to make matters even more confusing. I was told the base 992 does indeed come with a eDiff, which subsequently was confirmed on the window sticker.


^^^^^

So if this is true, and the T does not have an LSD. Then I may be better off tracking my 992.

I will look for it but it was confirmed that the PDK version has an eLSD and the manual gets a mechanical LSD. There should not be any guessing anymore.....

I will look as well. I'm having no luck so far.

that's true for certain models, like .2 GT3's. It was my understanding that was not confirmed for the T. In fact to the contrary.

I can confirm that the manual has a mechanical LSD. It was confirmed by my mechanic who is a former race engineer with Porsche and does all my upgrades. NO ONE has confirmed that the PDK has a mechanical LSD in the Carrera T. All press and info I have seen from both Porsche and the general media tout the mechanical LSD in the manual but never mention it when discussing the PDK. There are many mentions of the eDiff in conjunction with the PDK discussion. You can even browse this thread PDK LSD Discussion to see what I mean. Here is an article from Porsche talking about the mechanical LSD. PCNA Mechanical LSD Now the GT3 may have a mechanical LSD with the PDK but I cant speak to that as I do not own one... yet. For me, it's safe to say that the Carrera T has a mechanical LSD when paired with the 7 speed manual and an eDiff LSD when paired with the PDK.

Yes, we not questioning the manual car has a mechanical LSD. Nor saying any PDK car has a mechanical dif. They don't. They have E difs, including GT3's. I use the .2 example as a GT3 with both difs offered. That's not the case on the T. It's likely that the PDK T is driving one wheel as the base 991.2 is.
