Interesting that you may be offered a second T. Could the dealer say approx delivery and would it still be a 992?
When they switch to the 992.2 will they still keep a line open for some models of 992’s?
If not then surely the 992.2 T will only arrive in 3 years, as happened with the current gen??

There's a customer with an allocation who may take a pass and if so, it's going to be offered to me first. It would be a 2024 992. Still a .1. .2s are rumored to be MY25 not MY24 so probably won't be announced until spring 2024 for fall 2024 deliveries. I don't think anyone knows yet if a .2 T will be available.

- the same feeling again, the CS is the butcher's cleaver, the 911 is a surgeon's scalpel. Just brute force vs delicate handling.
- immediately I missed the manual gearbox and it was the confirmation that beside the "daily", I will only want to have manuals in my fun cars. As long as possible.
Sunday I will be back into the 911, I might drive up to Nürburgring, but only to have some fun on the routes outside the track. At under 1000 km it's not ready for the track.
These are the stories I love reading here!

Can’t wait to read your full review! And as much as I love all the T decals and stuff, I think your explanation not wanting it in your case and car is spot on. It does look like a GT3T so it’s clear which direction you are going. The T is not a GT3T. But it may well doesn’t have to be. Can’t wait to read all your thoughts.

I had this conversation with a friend after driving a GT3 back to back with my T. Between the NA engine and the incredible front suspension, plus of course the exclusivity and better resale value of the GT3, I could see the argument for a GT3 if the cost doesn't affect you

Wow, it looks incredible, love the silver wheels on the black, and the thin double 5 spokes are a perfect look for the car. Nicely done.

Looking forward to some more pics!

Default Carrera T Shirt Order Link

https://roachtshirts.com/products/99...8ab77158&_ss=r

Above is the link to order T shirts. Try to get your orders in this weekend and Brian will order up the shirts we need on Monday. For now only US orders. I will try to investigate shipping overseas and if at all possible i can have him allow you to order and we will come up with a general shipping price and I can have my staff ship from my business since we have an account with Shopify.

Doing the work before I ordered them paid off. I'm very happy with the stance. Aggressive on the conservative side. OEM+
Love the look!!

If everyone drove a Porsche, yours would feel a heck of a lot less special.

I'm aware this isn't a T or even a 911, but for those on the fence about Guards Red versus Carmine Red, this Carmine Taycan GTS I stumbled across last night a few blocks from me was showing some phenomenal depth in indirect sunlight.

How do these generally fit? Do we need to upsize if we prefer a little loose? TIA
