992 Carrera T Club
Thanks for the Codes! I received an email that my car departed for Emden today (finished build yesterday). I've only located two photos so far (both were emailed to me and the F12 hack doesn't show any others). Does the third come delayed usually?
Earlier in this monster thread, there were folks with more than 3 images... did that go away and now only 3 are "usual?"
Thanks!
ps - for those searching for manual "T,"s, there are 5 new and 2 pre-owned within 500 miles of Tampa for anyone looking. (Don't know how useful the Porsche site is in displaying only truly available cars?)

I received all three photos at one time. My T has not completed production and has been delayed until December 1 even though it is technically built. It is now not expected to arrive until mid January. 😞

I really like that 911 logo... even better when it's in red to sorta match my carmine exterior when ordered with deviated stitching package

I would just add the red tacho and red chrono personally. I would skip the ventilated seats as they completely change the T specific interior and you will also lose the 911 logo on the headrest.

The sport-tex is a big part of the reason I decided to keep the rear seat. If I do a harness bar and buckets for the track it can hibernate with the 18 ways.

Hello all,
Really miss my 997.2 GT3 and decided I wanted a new 911 last week. Carrera T allocation fell on my lap, and things escalated quickly. Spec'd and placed my order for a March 2024 build, status V200, whatever that means....
Please critique my specs. I know it may seem too bloated with options for a T, but it should be an ideal replacement for my 997.2 now that I've given up track days.

My config is a bit more than yours 😀. April delivery for mine.

This seems particularly insane because I just took delivery of a 2023 BMW M2 (G87) in July and have been very tepid about it since. I preferred my 2021 M2C (F87) (manual) much more. The new M2 feels its weight and it's just...sterile. The tech/electronics are a bit much, and the materials -- though nice -- seem a little faux luxury. Objectively speaking its a very nice car, but I'm just not into it.
The only thing the 911T lacks that I would've spec'd is the FAL -- I'm sweating that a little bit. This will be my daily with a 4 y/o son (who will love it!) and getting him in and out will be a daily pain in the ***. Really just looking for someone to validate my judgment -- and assure me that my only regret will be not having snagged a 911 sooner.

Nice, congratulations! I've always wanted a 911 but have never committed - until last week. I'd been checking my local dealer's website daily for a couple weeks until I noticed an incoming 911T manual. Called them up immediately, confirmed it was available, and paid the deposit. Anticipated delivery is 12/28/23. Not exactly spec'd the way I'd have done it -- has RS Spyder wheels and 18 way seats, neither of which I particularly need or want -- but otherwise great.

Your kid is going to love it (as will you). When mine were both younger than they are today, I folded them into the back of an i8 I picked up on Swap-a-lease for nearly 1/2 what they were leasing new for... to this day, it's the car ("Spaceship!") they both still talk about the most, and it's been over 5 years since she departed. Lots of "folding" of them was required, yet never a complaint. Strangely enough, they're both excited for the 911 to arrive next month even though they're much older. When the kids are little, they don't really care about how much room there is, but about the experience. The 911 should deliver that for your son is my bet. Enjoy in health and happiness!

Thanks so much -- really what I wanted to hear. I'm very much looking forward to sharing this experience with my boy. If my dad could've have afforded to do the same with me, he would have. I wish he was around to see it.

Been following for months now whilst I waited for my T allocation (after I put a deposit down in January) - not really expecting it to materialise and thinking I'd missed the boat.
Fast forward to August this year and I got my allocation, spec locked in October, got a phone call last week saying it was in build and this week it was on a boat... which subsequently I think docked at Sheerness today!
To top it off, the pics appeared today and it appears I've lucked out with Michelins too!
Quite a simple spec... Shark Blue, manual, slate grey T interior, rear seats, folding mirrors, PDLS+, surround camera, Bose (and a couple of smaller options), it's my first new car, first 911 and first Porsche for that matter, the plan was always for it to be a long term (dare I say it - maybe permanent) keeper. The only downside is I've had to get rid of my 2015 LR Defender 90 which just wont get driven now. Bursting with excitement is an understatement.

Congrats! Looks like mine (U.S. spec), BUT you won the tire lottery! I got the P zeros and mine it still sitting idle (delayed) in Zuffenhausen.

Is there a way to reply and quote on Rennlist without showing their images again?
Anyway, Dan G above wonders if the lovely T will be a permanent addition to his garage.
I think lots of us should be asking that question, because ‘our era’ is ending.
ICE only, manual box, low weight, not an oversized smart phone ?
Soon these things will become unobtainable.
From next year in the UK the percentage of ICE cars a manufacturer can sell in the UK ticks down each year until it becomes zero in 2030.
Hug your T close.
