I can’t quite believe it. I have done multiple trackdays. High speed driving on Autobahn (+300km/h) and a drift day. Feel like a loser actually. The second allocation has been ordered but not a deal yet. Don’t want to pay too much.

 

That emoji doesn't fit with your screen name.

 

Interesting that this info and the following post differ. I think we have a divergence of people here. Some are interested in the ratio from MT vs PDK(me.), but a few are interested in Carrera S vs T. And we are talking past each other instead of listening.

 

I need to move to Utah, I pad over $16k in taxes in Illinois. I agree with the seller. A driving video on a new car is ridiculous.

 

Frankly, I think these pictures might still be a decoy. It looks too disorganized, with those weird squarish vents inboard of the gills. They don't match the roundness of the rest of the car at all. Maybe they will have a better package at the real/official unveiling.

 

I think we've reached the conclusion with all this data that all the 7 speed manuals and all the 8 speed PDKs in 992s are the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

I have no experience of RWS on Porches, but I did have it on a Ferrari Lusso T.
it helped make a huge heavy car feel like it had a smaller wheel base and hence much easier to throw round a corner.
A 992 is not as big, but it isn’t small.
I am hoping the weight gain will be offset by extra agility.

 

As bummed as I was earlier in the week due to my build date being moved out, I'm equally as happy today. The later build date allowed me to finally add the aerokit. I'm beyond pumped as I wanted this as a factory option and not have to deal with adding it after the fact. Below is how my T is spec'd. Should be here in later March if there are no further delays.

 

For those who moved from the 991.2 T to the 992 T: worth it?

I currently own a 2018 T with a manual transmission, carbon bucket seats, SportDesign front and rear bumpers, 30k miles, and a four-year extended warranty now. For about $35K I can upgrade to a 2023 T with manual transmission, four-way seats, real-wheel steer, front-axle lift, and very low miles. Other options and warranty coverage will basically be the same.

 

Leather, Carbon Roof, Buckets, Aerokit, no RAS, No FAL... Really awesome build. If I didn't have kids, mine would have been the same. Great work.

 

I think the 992 has more room to depreciate in the coming months and years. That aside, what are you getting with a 992? The interior design and PCM are the biggest changes. Huge improvements IMO. The exterior on both cars is attractive, the 992 having the widebody of course if you like that. The driving experience I assume would be largely similar. I don't think I would make the jump for 35k plus the loss in equity over time, especially if you have a warranty on the old one. Unless you're tired of your 991 and you need a little refresher and excitement. If you still drive the old one and are happy with it I'd keep it for a while longer and try to make a bigger jump into a 991 GT3 with an extended warranty.

 

Extremely frivolous question here, but has anyone found a way to add color to the little strip on the center of their Racetex steering wheel? See the picture below to see what I’m talking about. On GT3s this strip is colored to match the seatbelts/gauges/stitching. I’d like mine to be yellow, but am not going to spend the cost of recovering the whole wheel just for that pop of color. Hoping there is a dye or paint that can be used.

Thanks!



The strip in question is at the top of the wheel.

 

If I recall you have a pretty nice 991 t with buckets. I would hold tight or at least custom order a new one if you have the itch.

 

Step away for the steering wheel….. it’s too early for winter boredom!

 

That strip is on a GT3 so that you don't lose track of center on a racetrack. It's a bit poser-ish on a street car.
