How did you get green stitching on your shift boot?

From everything in the car, I believe it was around this price, and this is as close as I could get it from the pictures, I think it was close to 140k

That's 2024 pricing that is ~10K higher. The car definitely doesn't have Bose and not sure we can tell if it has power steering plus. Based on your build I see ~137K in 2024 pricing, or ~127K before the price increase.

The fact that she spelled it wrong makes it all the more infuriating

I don't see any green. I see yellow. Maybe it's contrasting weirdly with the different shade of yellow on the shift ****

thanks so much!! Will follow up with details on the spec, relatively bare bones, but have been lurking in waiting for months so was very happy to have the shot on goal. I figure I will have the opportunity to spec one to my exact liking eventually

  • It has all the power you need: like many 992, it seems underrated. But I've noticed this comment often comes from UK reviewers, whose roads do not play as favorably to higher horsepower. Do people really feel the power in the S/GTS throws off the balance so much to be considered a negative? Would that also infer that adding an eventual tune would throw off this desired balance? Or do most really mean that it has all the power you need for the street, so why pay more?
    • No. The S is balanced and fun and just like the T to me. Honestly the power of the T is good, it's more exhilarating in the S though also easier to go fast and do stupid things. Maybe the PDK is further making me think the S is so much more, but still the T is good, but the added punch of the S was also super fun.
  • The suspension is not as jarring as it is on the GTS and S, which is too stiff: assuming it is, what is the comparison point? Again, putting those UK roads aside, I'd imagine my GT4 is stiffer than the GTS, but it doesn't bother me. Are people finding it jarring in an unsettling way, or that many 992S customers these days might be seeking a more grand touring ride quality?
    • Again no. Maybe I'm not good at feedback, but I found the S and T ride quality to be nearly identical. I've run the same set of wheels and tires from the S to the T as well, so I feel like it's a good comparison.
  • To take this further, lets say I'm contemplating a 911, because it has backseats, and I now have a little one I'd like to take along for rides. The T interests me due to all the praise its receiving, but my spec would be manual, with the rear seats added back in, and the decals deleted. With some of the possible lightweight advantages of the T not as applicable, how different would a S really be? I can't see more power and better brakes really being a negative, so I'm hoping to gain some further insight as to the je ne sais quoi nature of the T.
    • There is for sure a T je ne sais quoi magic with the T but also it shouldn't preclude you from buying a S if available to you. If someone offered me a swap, my T for an identical spec S, I'd likely say yes but it would be a soft yes, I don't feel compelled to get another S, likely due to the je ne sais quoi as you put it. I'm also a prior 1966 912 owner, so I tend to end up with dialed chassis, lower powered p-cars.
I too had a 1968 912 but it’s completely different from the 911s of its day and in a different stratosphere from The 992 we’re talking about . Everyone forgets this 911 T would blow away the first of the 930s of yesteryears .
