Yes the classic response of “I made them” when asked the brand.

Let me have your wife’s tel number. I’ll sort this out, I’ve saved many marriages where 911’s have been the issue. My nickname is the ‘911 Whisperer’.
I’ll only need 10mins max.
Its my pleasure👍

You're spending a lot of time here trying to get opinions on your build. I don't think there is any build that has any value unless you have communication with the person you are investing so much time, money and effort trying to please. You're not changing shirts. You're contemplating selling a car you don't want to sell and buying one you don't really want to buy on a hope and a prayer that she may like it more and be willing to get in it. I previously suggested you take her to the dealership to see if she likes the 911 and you said she'd never do that. She has disdain for the things you love. I'm sorry but this is just bizarre to me. Listen, I'm really trying to be helpful. It will be tragic if you sell the car you and your kid love for something she'll be just as ambivalent about and lizard green accents is not a good start if she doesn't like loud colors. Maybe you guys just need to talk and make a decision together, don't you think?

If your wife dislikes the spyder she won’t like the T either. The T rides rather stiffly and is noisy inside - less sound deadening. And she will really hate a GT3.

i also owing a Targa 4 - 2021- and that is a wonderful road car- easy to drive 409 miles a day. Comfortable with the comfort seats - fun with the top down and the kids can sit in the back and have a great view.

or ask for a base Carrera / my son has a 2023 Carrera / it has softer suspension and more sound deadening than the T and is a really great car as a touring car. And your wife will enjoy driving the base carrera with the wonderful PDK. The base Targa 4 also has a PDK.

this all depends on how much you really want to make her happy and willing to travel in the car with you,

she will dislike the T as much as the Spyder.

Carrera T could end up being a 992.2 car to send off the generation like the 991

Probably so, but not until nearing EOP of the 992.2.

Is it possible that there won't be a 992.2 variation of the "T". Been checking and right now no dealer has any allocations beyond December at least in NorCal... Could they just end the T with the 992.1 and could be it December for the end? Just curious.

Ruby Star T for sale at my local dealer with only 312 miles on it. Kind of surprised at the price at $170k.
