Porsche did not submit an application to CARB for 2025 manual cars for the 992.1
Makes sense. Had a feeling their regs were the kink in the chain. On the other note are the Cats on the manuals higher flowing than PDKs? Or just tuned hotter?

If this holds true, this is a precursor to the removal of the 4.0l from the lineup. Meaning 2024 is the last 4.0l Manual cars that will exist.... for now

Or that the 992.2 GT3's begin as MY26 cars, starting production 2nd half of next year

There was an article that was once on internet then scrubbed off that stated they'd make 1500 final 4.0ls then ALL models whether the GTS/TurboS/GT3 would receive some iteration of the new 3.6l.

All of the media outlets ran with that then all seemed to be wrong. That wouldn't make any logical sense for Porsche to do that as it would make a 992.1, 992.2 and 992.3 GT3. Would be a even bigger ****show at the factory than they already dealing with now. But who knows

I don't disagree. I do think the ST may just be the 4.0l Manual grand finale of sorts and that's cool for yall.
Seemingly with how things have been it appears their production tooling doesn't forecast vary far.
Picked up S/T in Leipzig, made it down to Austria, so 2/3rds break in completed in a little over 24 hours.
Some thoughts: my god what a machine. Of course I bought it so would think that right? But Porsche fixed the things that irked me on my 992 GT3. Gone is darty front end that went anywhere on a whim based upon pavement imperfections. Gone is the overly stiff suspension that beat you up if you dared drive it on anything but perfect pavement or race tracks, this thing just swallows pavement imperfections without upsetting the car. But despite these improvements, they cranked up the mechanical noises and sensations so you end up with a better ride but a more alive experience. Win win for a street car.
And best of all, the steering. It’s so good, best EPAS I have experienced in my opinion, almost feels hydraulic. GT cars steering has become lighter and lighter over the years, while still accurate. ST loads pressure through the steering wheel during turns unlike any other GT products, the sensation of feeling front tires/road through steering wheel stunning.
Not sure why reviewers were so freaked out by the LWFW, it’s easy to modulate. Never once did I think it was more challenging to manage, but maybe it’s due to time spent on racetrack. The extra noise in the car is present, but quieter than i expected.
it’s not as loud as I expected inside the car. My 4RS is much louder, last summer during ED with my 4RS we had to wear ear plugs on the Autobahns, when that car reaches 5k rpms it’s just too loud to handle for more than short bursts. S/T cruising on the Autobahns at 130 mph was not overly loud, and even then it was more tire noise, I didn’t reach for the ear plugs.
wonderful car, absolutely worth the premium over a touring for the changes made, it’s not just the LWFW, In the usual Porche fashion they have massaged and tweaked things to improve so many aspects of the car to make it truly unique. anyone getting this thing is going to be pleasantly surprised.
ering wheel stunning.

Congrats! Car looks great. More pics please!
What is the clutch pedal feel like? Is the pedal much firmer vs Touring and is the biting point as progressive or sharper, more On/Off?
