Love that stripe. If you're willing, please share or PM as that's what I want on my White T when it comes in. Did you find it's close enough to coloring of the side script?
I was speaking in jest. As a non engineer, I find the manual to be essential in why you would chose the T over a base or S 992.
Totally agree on the MT7 being why you would order a T over another Carrera (my exact initial motivation) with the frustrating caveat of the way the market, availability and dealers result in the T maybe being the only allocation someone might be able to get. A real shame, but what is one to do. If I wanted a base Carrera with a PDK, but could only get a T allocation for whatever reason, I would not hesitate to spec a T with a PDK. And we all know that this is not only a hypothetical and I do not blame the buyer in these cases. They are getting the car as close to what they might be dreaming of given the limited options laid out before them.
? You can get the S with the manual and option it very close to a T. The base is PDK only.
I posted, many pages ago, a comparison test Carrera T vs S, done by a french car magazine.
T won 8 to 3.
The 3 points for S were 2 - engine power (duhuh...) and...you won't believe it, 1 - better fuel consumption.
Also, drove the my T and a S back to back, in anger too, I would choose my T over the S any time.
Have no idea what spices were put in the mix, but the T(otal) is much more than the S(um) of its ingredients.
And because someone was asking about manual/PDK and acceleration times - if you buy the T to do "pulls", you are buying the wrong car.
Wouldn't get the T without the manual gearbox. Drove enough with PDK: 991.1 GTS, 991.2 GTS and S Cabrio, 992.1 S, the gearbox is nice, but I am feeling like a spectator. For the back roads fun car, I want a manual. For a city daily or a track toy, PDK.
Did anyone get the Exclusive Design wheels for their T? If so, can you please share pictures?
Specifically I'm wondering how they might look on Jet Black Metallic. Thanks!
It will be about $12k more (roughly) similarly equipped, but also about 65 hp more. Choices choices. Having driven an S and now owning a T, neither is a wrong answer.
My preferred S build would be $20k+ over my T build. S allocations are extremely difficult to acquire locally so I am delighted that I was able to get a T allocation after waiting a few months.

Haven’t seen on black T yet. But probably look something like this…
Looks aiight. But I think the titanium grey standard rims r best style from factory choices. I decided when ordering I’m going with standard and apply option $s towards aftermarket if decide to go with something else later. In past, I typically went aftermarket to get bigger rims, but T standard at 20/21 r pretty beefy. So, not persuaded enough to change but if I see something i really love…...
U can compare. Pic from my 2 hour lunch pickup drive today.
So, my dealer called me today with a T allocation for January delivery. They want my Spyder on trade in but they sell at MSRP.
This is a hard choice. Would make the wife happy but also will **** off my six-year-old for selling her car. As previously stated, my wife refuses to ride in the Spyder and only talks about it with disdain.
Decisions, decisions.
Here is my current build in Ice Grey Metallic, Spyder wheels (in the fence between those and Sport Classic) with Lizard accents and tach. Four way seats for now in the interest of purity. No exterior packages, no FAL, no RWS, no power steering plus. Of course a manual. Rest of the options are LCA, Bose, heated steering wheel, and leather steering column.
Overall, comes to $10k over my Spyder build at $145. I don't know if I can do it though. I also want to stay on the dealer's GT3 list.
