I've never had car windows haze like the T does, and I've never heard of anybody who needed to clean the windows on their brand new car every three weeks because they're all hazy.

Offgassing - sure. But the car shouldn't be off gassing so much that the windows are hazing over.

Rather unencouragingly, looks like this is not just related to the T or lightweight glass. More than a couple threads on the topic

This is fantastic news for those of us who care about weight. Thanks for sharing.

@Uhu The first time I drove the Autobhan it was a bit unsettling. Going fast was fun, but I had to watch for unpredictable slow moving traffic ahead. That said, can’t wait for the next time to get on it again. In the future, take a video of u going for that 310 kph mark. I for one would like to see it! And be sure to be wearing that outfit in ur pic for good luck!
I will wear my N24h t shirt for the video. I need to find a way to fix my gopro on something, might as well go for a suction cup and stuck it on the sunroof (interior).
Always look ahead and "read" the traffic. They will have no problem swerving in front of you, even when you approach at almost 300 km/h. One of the reasons I never go fast on a two lane autobahn, too many morons looking for a crash.

Finally hit 1000 miles, so I had a chance to go past 4K RPM. 😁

This is great news indeed. Now I want to find a vehicle scale near me and weigh my T!

Most of the folks in this thread have probably seen this video already but on the off chance you don't think weight is important, watch this review of the 350hp Porsche that intimidates the hell out of Chris Harris

Me too! I'll do that the first chance I get. The 911K is absolutely wild.

Haha. Yeah, me either. Then again, I've never heard a 911 that revs to 11k either.

Thanks for the link! I may use it when I head up to Rennsport Reunion.

I've been watching the Suncoast site but it says currently in testing. I guess they are sending them out anyway then... thanks for heads-up, will order. This is the one thing I miss from my 991.2T
