It was an October allocation, but since the AeroKit is a mandatory item for me, it was pushed out to December to accommodate that, and then slowly got pushed back... I know why (certain items have limited availability, or are EOL within the first 3 to 4 months of 2024)... It's a bummer, but at least I'm getting the 911-T that I want the way I want it... No compromises! 😀

Absolutely, that’s what’s most important, getting it the way you wanted it. 👍

Default 992 Carrera line; Transmission and Engine

I have had what I have suspected all along, proven. I had it confirmed by the Porsche Mechanic I know and trust, Kent Moore, who owns Premier Sports Car Service, this is why I trust his work, and word. \/

https://premiersportscarservice.com/about-kent-moore/

The engine and transmission, are the exact same throughout the 992 Carrera series. Same piston, rods, block, everything is the exact same. The transmission housing, transmission and everything is the same.

The only difference between the engines and transmissions is the software. People are paying the extra money for S or GTS when the only difference is the tune. Porsche is making a great deal of profit out of that. Kent said there might be lining differences, but he would have to check the all of the carrera line, the base, the T, the S, the GTS, to see if there is a difference on the 992 he suspects there is not based in the work he has done on 992 carrera models for the track already. But there is always a small possibility of there being slight differences.

We can nitpick the breaks, the rear helper springs/suspension, turbos, possible intercooler/radiator differences, but there is not much of a difference even between all these.

so for anyone who is and has been wondering what the difference is now you know. Not a single difference between the actual make up of all 3 engines and transmissions

so go wild with your tuning and get those T numbers up to GTS if you so desire

Yes correct - this same point has come up a number of times in this forum.

In the UK a company called Litchfield is famous for its tuning and remapping.
This is what their website currently offers….

In fact Litchfield will detune it back down to base should you want to revert it when you sell the car

I have the Porsche app on my phone, plus on email for my updates. Where are the assembly photos accessed from, are they sent by email?

Build photos - I found them in the app on my phone. 4 photos there, only 3 on the Mac. So far none by email. You need to keep looking though.

Via which app are you guys using? The “My Porsche” App?







I received an email with a link to the production pics. The screenshot below is what I see when logged into to my account via Safari and iPad OS 17.1.1

I had an August allocation that was originally scheduled to arrive Dec. 23. I added the carbon fiber roof in early October and that pushed arrival to Feb. 23. Two weeks ago, I was bumped out another month and while I wasn't happy, it allowed me to add the aerokit, which I've wanted since day one. If my arrival date had remained in late February, I probably would have missed being able to add the aerokit by THREE days! (Dealer told me that the aerokit could only be added for builds after Dec 11. My build was scheduled to start on Dec. 8!)
