sweet! Had I known there was a race, I would have drove up from Boerne. I enjoy the GT races more than the F1.

Last night I finally sat down and went over the car's functions in detail and found the G-meter. Pretty cool and decent numbers.

Favor request… can someone with the standard $0 interior post some photos of their interior as well as the ‘911’ stitching in the headrest from a distance? TIA

The G meter is cool but I’ve found that when pulling the most G’s you cannot look at it! 😂

Yeah, it's more of a recording device for sure. I have no idea where that happened. They're just my best numbers.

As an admittedly bias owner of a standard interior I think it looks awesome. The embroidery is plenty visible even without the deviated stitching. I was pleasantly surprised at how “dressed up” the interior feels with just colored gauges and seatbelts.

It seems the only things a leather interior gives you are the dash and the doors??

I had the same reaction. Second comment my wife (albeit not a car person) made about the car was how nice the interior is.

I agree with you about mid engine cars if we're taking under the limit. At or past the limit, my experience is that they snap quickly and it's harder if not impossible to recover. Conversely, a 911 will let a driver know when the limit has been breached in a more progressive manner and allow time for the driver to recover.
I’ve driven an old 930 and that is exactly right. Porsche had the rear end pretty stable by the mid 1990s and this 992 T is very planted even with traction control off.

I’ll go check my numbers and post. I was on a pretty spirited run last week.
edit. My best numbers aren’t as good. I blame my wife and the fact I was in break in period. 😃

there are bunch of other panels that get wrapped in leather with that package. But at that point, if you got the money to spend, go with deviated stitching to match or contrast the exterior color of the car. I didn’t have extra $7k or what ever it was for the MY 23 just laying around so I got the standard, very happy with that decision.
