992 Carrera T Club
I have only one issue with scraping even with the lift extended, but I do not know how large the drop-offs and driveways and everything you have where you are living, but honesty get it so you don't regret it and in 10 years be annoyed you have to avoid driveways and entrences and exits because you scrape and take off the front splitter, especially if you get it lowered
My lock date is approaching, and I wanted to get some thoughts on a few remaining options for my 2024 T.
- ER tank – are folks still having some issues with the tank rattles on cars built after 2023 MY? It looks like there might have been a TSB campaign on 2020-2022 models? I can go either way on this option.
- Power steering plus – my SA is strongly recommending. Is it true you can option and then turn off later if you don’t want it? I prefer heavy steering.
- Still considering FAL – does this require any periodic / yearly maintenance? Never had a car with it before. Just seems like it could be a big issue down the road if it goes out.
Thanks! This will be a big upgrade from my 997s.

power steering plus – – personally, I don’t like it and I don’t want the extra nanny.
front axle lift – – this really depends on where you live, but most will not need this. Even for most steep driveways, if you approach slowly, at the right angle, you will be fine.
Does anyone else notices that every time they start the car, it idles at 1.5k for like 3 minuets then it goes to 800 and the engine is at operating temp? Does that mean it is warmed up? even when its 100 degrees out and the engine is at say 140 F, it will idle at 1.5k rpm till it gets to 194 degrees F, then go down to 800, If your engine is at 194 but your oil temp is at like 120, what temp do you need to wait till to rev at 4k rpm or higher?
Just for clarification, I am not against front axle lift. Depending on where you live, it can be quite helpful and perhaps even necessary. I just don’t think it is needed in most instances.

Thank you very much, I will do that then! It is strange that its only on the driver's side and was not caught during quality control, I also have not told many I have a piece of something in the base coat of my car, it's like a small dot about the same diameter as a regular twist pen hole, but its still there, then I had a malformed piece in the back of my car behind the seats, only the malformed thing is being taken care of by Porsche
I see, but what is strange I had an 02 boxster that had a high idle for a little but not as long. But honestly its nicer that it warms up so quick, not gonna like, it was a pain waiting like 20 minuets for the car engine temp to be high enough that you could actually drive the speed limit in your car and not have to short shift and then drive 10 over the speed limit to be at 3k rpm
I am curious if anyone has ordered the bespoke center armrest with the 911 Carrera T script? Since we were unable to acquire PTS I am looking for something subtle to differentiate myself from the other local Shark Blue T.

I think these are new options. Pretty cool!
The picture doesn’t work. Need more pics of your car anyhow. So keep them coming.
You have answered your own question. Leave it. I had it on my 992 4S. I don’t have it on my T. And I don’t miss it. I did hear it was a software feature so you should be able to turn it on and off again. But I don’t think Porsche offers it. When doubting and you want heavier steering: don’t chose it. More analogue driving character. And you can play with the camber for a lighter steering feel if need be.
I would suggest finding a local 992 (either PCA member or dealership) to test your driveway. It'll take <5 minutes to decide whether or not to splash out $1500 for FAL since it can't be retrofitted AFAIK.

Working myself on a new 992 T. Had contact with my dealer today and he already had an allocation I could get. So production week 2 of November already. Now we just need to work on a nice deal. The new T is €10k more expensive so I will not lose much on mine. So I will leave some options on the new one saving that money difference. But I also need to add some options like the exterior color. Could opt for white though. No more sunroof as explained before since I will skip all the alcantara options. No more 18 ways. But adding the LED+ and the Bose. So all in all it would be more expensive. But I am willing to pay something of course.
Any suggestions and advice? Although speccing a car is really my thing already, but wondering what you think or maybe I forgot something:

Don’t want to add the other leather options. Want to keep it clean. Just like my current T. But it’s hard for a leather and deviated stitching lover. But the T ethos remains less luxury to me and so I tend to leave out the extra leather options. Back seat leather with blue inlay however will probably be the only food for thought. Also thinking about the sport design. But I don’t like the SD front on a T and €4650 is not exactly very cheap. My point was to safe money and not lose any money on my current one. So left this option out.

Does the other T in town have: a Motorsport stripe, Exclusive Design wheels, or Sport Design package?
