I really like the Sport Tex seats in the T, but.... I have ventilated seats in my Macan and I find myself using them pretty much every time I'm in the car. So I have full leather incl vent seats in my spec. This is (planned as) a forever car, so I'm choosing temperature comfort over other considerations
Drove a 911 S at Hockenheim that had the ventilated seats. Drove there in my T. Couldn't feel any big difference in cooling. (yes, they were on). Actually, the ventilated seats were a tad "harder" and you didn't "sink" into them like in the T, with the sport tex middle sections.
Best seat ventilation I got to experience? In a GT4 race car, lol. It had a duct right into the seat's back. Despite outside temperatures of >40°C and racing suit, I felt cool and comfortable.
Having previously owned BMW's with deviated stitching I became a lifelong fan of it. IMO, you see the inside of the car a lot more than the exterior so spend the $ and be happy if the look appeals to you.
My CS interior. Despite using the same three colors (white, black, grey), it feels and looks very different, compared to my T's interior.
never heard of shark fins (and never encountered any live ones). Can you take a picture? Is there any aero benefit?
The shark fins is a tongue in cheek description of the rear wheel arches stone protectors. Standard is clear PPF, I used black matt, as seen on the pictures. No aero diff as far as I know.
All allocations are gone for this year. May/June 24 is correct based on what my dealer told me.
So waitlisted due to demand as opposed to allocation distribution?
My dealer was recently allotted T allocations,. They were also allocated T allocations at the end of July. The waitlist moves rather quickly, at least locally. Since the T launched they have had ample allocations, far more than C2 or C2S allocations.

All ready for Rennsport Reunion. Anyone from the T Club going? Anyone driving up from SoCal?
Flying to Oakland this Saturday, will drive down to Monterey (in a turbo Miata - my 911 is waiting for a ship in Emden...) early the following Thursday morning.

Cool. I'm planning on being in San Diego on the morning of the 26th and driving up on the 1 and 101 arriving on the evening of the 27th.
Beats me how you could lose the rear end that bad under braking, also, it took him ages to understand what is happening and started counter steering when it was way too late (and too little). My guess is new, cold tires.
Funny, the only car that went off the track and into the tires barriers at Zandvoort was a GT4 RS too.
It was new, cold tires. Still, that was a very abrupt break. The 4RS seem like really fun hooligan cars but I'm not sure I'd take one over a GT3.

I have ventilated seats in my Carrera T, as I did in my prior 991.
In South Florida, or as a forever car, I’d never overlook that option. It’s night and day different, especially on a longer drive.
3
- normal (drag reduction) - from 90 km/h
- performance (self explanatory) - from 170 km/h (in your picture)
- air brake (same as above) - during hard braking from high speeds.
I'd like to see how the Aero kit changes the air flow in the rear. In particular, what are the openings behind the rear tires doing if the air is now exiting in the center bumper between the tailpipes?
Mine was prety straight forward: no discount, no ADM, no min MRSP, mentioned "financing" but only once. Explained twice the plus value of "lane keep assist/traffic signs recognition" and "power steering plus", I caught his drift and added them despite not quite wanting them.
And that was it.
It seems in Europe they can't "play" with the customers, like they do in USA.
My dealer specifically put me off Lane Keep Assist said it was a real pain in real life. I am European based there seems a lot less push towards ticking all the boxes.
