My proposed T build: http://www.porschecode.com/PPQK28R5
A bit over the top and certainly not the lightest build. My rationale on some of the highlights:
Rear seats: It's just nice to be able to squeeze the kids into the back for a family drive.
18-ways: My wife will drive the car often, so the memory function is a must-have.
Burmester: Completely irrational. It makes much more sense in our Taycan, but I just like the idea of it on this build.
RAS: More for the reduced turning circle than because I believe it makes a huge difference in high performance driving.
PTS and leather / race-tex extravagances: These are all in the "only live once" bucket.
Obviously I could get a pretty nice GTS for this price, but fundamentally I buy the idea that the T is a more fun, usable toy for the street driving that is my reality.

But at that price point you should absolutely get the GTS.

Yeah, I just don't understand some of these builds posted. Just order an S, enjoy the extra power and bigger brakes. I will never understand speccing a T by removing just about everything that makes it a T.

Here's the current build I have submitted, only changes I'm really considering at this point are the seat delete and PDK.

I think if an S was available for the same or less markup as they are asking for my T, I would probably step up and go for it, but to get it with the sport package sport seat plus and everything else I want the price would still come out substantially more than my T config. Every time I have asked about S availability I dont even get to the markup question because I am always being told 1-2 year wait in line.

Are you paying an ADM on top of the $195k?
If you are, then you’re probably in the ballpark of what I paid for a loaded 991.2 GT3 Touring with buckets, PCCBs, deviated stitching/extended leather/carbon, full PPF, warranty til 2025 and low miles. And I paid on the higher side of fair market value. Just sayin - think about your options because that price point opens up a lot of possibilities in the CPO/preowned market.

my original S order was at MSRP. I think I'd wait a year and get a 992.2 build S instead of a $10-15k marked up T. Especially considering what used vehicle pricing is doing and demand for $100k+ new sports cars starting to dwindle.

Oh yes I'm certainly expecting a delay of some sort. I remember my C63 sitting at the port for 5 months back in 2019. My SA sort of implied that the lock date could be pushed up earlier without warning, but thinking about it more he probably just doesn't want to scramble to change the build last minute during the holidays.

That is my dilemma. I love the concept of the T and initial reviews confirm it is what I want. But with enough mark up, moving to an S with most/all of the mechanical bits that make the T special, plus having the ability to option some things not available on a T (carbon ceramic brakes, bose), has me at least asking about the wait list for an S.

I didn't get a specific dates from him when I asked just first week of Jan for lock and first week of Feb for build. I know these are technically just estimates so I didn't really push it. Seems like our build schedules are similar.

I get that it's irrational, but I actually prefer the idea of the T to the GTS. It's not really about the money at this point.
