I optioned it because it was basically free. And I'm still traumatized from my DD that has a 13 gallon tank.
992 carries 16.9 gallons which ain't too shabby. If the mileage on the hwy. is close to my 991.2, that would give over 400 miles in range. My bladder doesn't want any more than that. Still, having the extra capacity is never a bad thing so long as there is no rattle.
T interior with leather, 4-way seats, lizard accents and lizard tach and chrono
$128k build.
It was fun spec'ing a cool (to me) car that I believe reflects the ethos while also keeping it cheap. For example, I don't like the standard bumpers so rather than spec'ing Sport Design, I chose black to blend the black plastic bits and also play tribute to a stunning black/black 993 C4S I owned 15 years ago and regret selling. Interiors are important to me so I went full tilt with leather, deviated stitching, extended leather bits and race tex headliner and then dialed it back to the T package with leather and added the matching tach and chrono. I traded materials for color and ended up with something that I think will look cool. RAS and extended tank are no brainers but everything else seemed unnecessary in a car that is about less-is-more.
I'm not sure, perhaps others will weigh in. My view is unless you feel you really need it, don't. If you are taking long trips, the 992 is actually quite good on gas and has long legs on the highway. For in town use there are stations everywhere so I also thought the extended gas tank was a solution in search of a problem.
You don't have to fill up the extended fuel tank all the way....if you don't it's just like the regular fuel tank. If you do it gives you extra range . Very little downside there.
What a day it was.... My first day with this sublime machine.... one of humanity’s greatest achievements.... I am in awe.... The wait was not just worth it, but perhaps, made finally getting it that much sweeter....
You can't get that "911" logo in the seat headrest on the non-T cars, correct? I don't see it in the configurator, only the option for the crest. I like the numbering better.
Finally an end date...I was denied the aerokit ...current stop order states aerokit delay up to 64 weeks which I still find hard to believe.
I now need some type of configurator detox program
What is your build and lock date? I have aerokit and according to my SA, Porsche said it's good to go. Build date, 1/7. Lock date is tomorrow, 2/27. Delivery of 5/3.

Did anybody else get a shipping delay overnight? I moved from leaving Emden on 2/27 to leaving Emden on 3/20 and getting to the dealer on 4/22.
My delivery date just got pushed back 5 days, no biggie. Hope I have it by Opening Weekend at the Glen so I can buzz the track behind the pace car for some laps. https://www.theglen.com/events/opening-weekend-2023/
Dong-A Glaucos just moored in Emden, for those on the US West Coast with a car in Emden this could be your ride. Will be onloading cars for a couple days and then headed to San Diego and Benecia via the Panama canal. I've been sitting in Emden for 32 days now, I missed the last west coast boat, really hoping to be on this one.
