992 Carrera T Club
We really need to put pressure on Porsche to resolve these windscreen issues rather than our insurance companies.
After all we on this forum are only a small percentage of the total 992 T ownership.
How many other T owners have had this occur?
If Porsche are made to fork out for the replacements perhaps they’ll get it right on the 992.2

I think it’s pretty clear that the lightweight glass is more fragile than the regular stuff. But, I think the only way that Porsche stops using it is if folks who have a choice don’t option it on their builds. Hell, if I had a choice, I wouldn’t have selected it.

Greetings everyone. This is my first post on the 911 Carrera T forum. I placed a demand order for a Carrera T last week. My SA says that I am next in line for an allocation, and I am thrilled. Let the waiting begin.

After a one week COVID related delay…I finally picked up my GT Silver T yesterday. It’s a bit dirty on exterior is it was off to detailer last night but had time to put on 100 miles yesterday.
Full review and more photos (after it’s cleaned up) to come but my initial impression is this will be forever car just as I hoped. After 15 years of not driving a MT yesterday was spent mostly getting used to rowing gears again…a lot of practice to go but that’s what driving is for!
Any other T owners in Sierra Nevada region (Lake Tahoe) here on RL interested in meetup. I’m 2nd T at my dealership so there is at least one more of us out there.

How were you able to tolerate looking at the windshield crack for 2.5 hours? I think that'd drive me crazy. Between the lithium battery and lightweight glass issues ppl are having with the T, I feel like I should get back on the S wait list.

I noticed it when I got in the car and then forgot about it. My drives are not really leisurely unless I hit traffic. Today I hit 292km/h or 181MPH on a straight and around 200km/h or 124MPH on some fast sweepers. Needless to say, my mind was elsewhere. As for the S, the T is the only Carrera I would ever own. There is no perfect car, and I'm ok with the glass issue as unfortunate as it is. It is what it is. Just gotta get it fixed.

Have any of us done exhaust and valve controller, or exhaust and tune w/open valves? Just curious. I had the valve controller on my S which was nice, but thinking I may take that a step further with the T and add an Akro or perhaps the new BBI exhaust.

Attention 9/9 T Meet participants:
I have below as 100% for sure showing up for it. I’m going to be ordering T-shirts soon using T-meet graphics provided by Tourenwagen.

They’re going to be simple shirts (nothing fancy) but hopefully a momentous item with 9/9/23 date on it, etc. For those listed, please respond with desired T-shirt size. Likely cotton shirts so recommend ordering one size up.

Carrera T is an enthusiast, run-out derivative. So, if Porsche sticks to the winning formula, we are circa 4-years away from 992.2 T.
