C'mon Porsche, I need it broken in before my trip up to VIR in late June

Great! Thanks for the information, seems like our builds will be pretty similar! So far, I am doing Shark Blue, standard wheels (they look the best, in my opinion), full leather/sport tex, glass sunroof (adds weight but really brightens up the cabin), and sport design front and rear

Make some calls, get on some lists. You’d be surprised what determination gets you.

Ruby Star is an iconic Porsche Heritage color available as PTS. The fact that Porsche has made Ruby Star Neo, which is very close to Ruby Star, available at a fraction of the PTS cost, is huge. Your car will surely look epic.

Configurator was just updated with new videos for certain features... The Adaptive Sport seats (18 way) got a very detailed and unnecessary video haha... but kind of cool

https://cc.porsche.com/icc/ccCall.do...start%2fall%2f

Think they made a super detailed 2min video on the 18 way to get people more excited about them because they plan to drop to LWBS option?? this is my initial thought haha

So the GTS lightweight package includes:
  • Full Bucket Seats incl. Rear Seat Delete
  • Lightweight and Noise Insulated Glass
  • Reduced insulation/sound deadening
  • Underbody paneling with air control blades
  • Adapted rear spoiler adjustments
  • Rear Axle Steering
  • 60Ah Lightweight LiFePO4 starter battery

Most of that sounds like what they did with the T, with an additional seat option, no mention of underbody paneling or spoiler adjustments. I think in the GTS lightweight thread I think they mentioned the suspension has some revisions for the lightweight package equipped cars.

What are the odds the underbody paneling, spoiler settings and maybe suspension are different on the T from the base/S that we don't know about yet?

Better than you think.

The demand for the T only seems high on Rennlist. For most regular Porsche buyers, the T is not something really on their radar.

I hope this is true

We need to start telling people the base motor and brakes aren't enough and the S is the minimum entry point to reduce demand

Incorrect. As long as the dealership advertises including the markup/fees, it's perfectly legal.

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6653676

Edmonton man told to pay $2,400 'market adjustment' fee on new car he'd ordered — or lose it
Kia Canada wouldn't address Go Public's questions, but in an email a spokesperson said the company "does not have control" over customer transactions as dealerships are independently owned and operated, and that dealerships are "encouraged to uphold pricing" whenever possible.

It turns out, dealerships can add fees and other markups thanks to a loophole. Like many regulators, the OMVIC, under the province's Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, only has jurisdiction over advertised, total prices; which must include any extra fees, additional products or services.

The issue is more likely to be supply than demand.

True, the demand was never all that great for the 991 T.

I think you are onto something. I mean, why would someone want a bottom-of-the-barrel trash overpriced Carrera T when they can wait 18 months for a perfect and sweet-spot GTS?
