As promised here are some better pics of my White T. CF roof. Extended leather painted hard back seats. My first time driving a non air cooled T and all I can say is Wow! This car is phenomenal. So tight! Cornering is so much better than my 964 or 993. I’m keeping the RPMs down for now for a proper break in. The cabin noise is not bad at all and stereo sound is tolerable. Be careful using auto blip or you will exceed the break in RPMs while downshifting. Engine sound is nice especially in sports plus mode. It’s got some gurgles on deceleration. Exceeds all expectations!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Probably my favorite T,

Thanks, it’s my first day as it’s owner. I built it for me and couldn’t be happier. I always wanted a car with a racing stripe and not a fan of the side decal. The white to me is the iconic GT Carerra. I just turned 60 and life is too short to settle. Now the below 4000 rpm’s thing is really hard!
The stripes came out GREAT! Are you going to do any graphics on the side of the car?
No, I think I’m done with any outside graphics. I know I’m going against the T ethos of side graphics but I’m not a fan. I’m going to put a lizard on the back of my wifes seat though, on the painted hardback. 🦎 know one will ever see it but you guys.

Hello;
Appreciate some input since I got the call that my T allocation is here.. I need to finalize my config.
1 - I know color choice is personal... I am torn between Gentian Blue and Chalk... I have seen way too may other Porsches lately on the road in my area in Chalk. It was my first choice but now I am wondering.....
2- Interior Trim same color as exterior color?? I am thinking with Chalk it will look OK but with Gentian Blue maybe cheesy?
3 - Sunroof? get it or not? if get it get the glass one or same color as exterior... ? With Chalk and Glass sunroof the contrast in body color and glass sunroof I dont like but I guess with Blue and glass top it blends in better?

Gentian looks amazing with the T's Agate accents. One of my fave colors on the T.
Interior trim in exterior color in Gentian would look great because the contrast would be subtle.
I'd skip the sunroof.

is there a story behind this?

I also feel chalk is played, however I have two friends who both recently got chalk 911's, one is a GT3 and one is a T. Both look really good in chalk, especially the T because the Agate accents work really well with the chalk. If that's what you want, don't let the popularity stop you. Besides, Gentian Blue is very popular too.
I am an IT exec…and not in the auto industry. Cars kind of keep me out of trouble and every penny I spend is visible. It isn’t like I blow money playing round after round of golf…like she does lol.
My SA worked in the casino industry in Vegas for over 20 years. He calmly explained to my wife that guys spend money in far more ruinous ways than Porsche sports cars! 😉

My sentiments as well. I had chalk on my spec until the last minute when I saw a few Macan and Cayenne in chalk on the same day. Went to IGM and hopefully get it this weekend. Much rarer color in the Porsche world.
So I signed a contract for a Carrera T in December and am not even next in line. My country, Switzerland, is weird in Porsche terms. Dealers get a ton of GT3 RS and GT4 RS but even the biggest dealers only received 2 Carrera T, while the smaller ones received 0. But then, my dealer is quite annoyed that he received a Turbo allocation, which he'll not be able to sell. Only Turbo S sell around here, he claims.
It's also weird that people despise manuals where I live. Tried to sell or trade-in my 2022 718 Spyder, had to give it for a sum so small, that every driven km almost cost me 9 USD. Market is flooded with manuals. Only PDK do sell. Quite worried that this might apply to a Carrera T as well (which I intend to keep but you never know).
In the meantime I've ordered another Macan GTS, need a family car. Used to have one until three years ago, great car. Not as cool as a Carrera T though, which I'll probably not get.

1. Gentian blue
2. Do the painted interior
3. Get the glass sunroof. I was not going to get one, but my SA convinced me to option it. I’m glad I did, I use it almost every time I drive the car. I also really enjoy the look.
Here is my take on a sunroof and I formerly would not even consider owning a vehicle without one. To add light into the interior a glass roof is the perfect solution for the simple fact that you are not forced to open it. If you are OCD about keeping your vehicle interiors nearly spotless then fully opening a glass or steel sunroof and letting airborne contaminants into the vehicle will not work well for you. I am speaking from experience as I fall into that category. Currently all my vehicles are equipped with a sunroof and I never open them for that reason alone. For me the significance of the T is the lighter weight and the manual transmission with the base engine. When adding a sunroof it only defeats the point of the weight reduction.
Edit: If I really had to have a sunroof I would go the steel route.

If I were you I would consider emigrating to a country where MT is appreciated for the additional skill required to pedal it!
I'll put you up in London while you are looking around.
