Ha, haven’t heard that song in ages. But that’s right…911 is always hammer time!
I saw the Savagegeese review this AM and it was amusing. A couple of years ago, I was at the dinner table with top engineers from GM, Ford, Toyota and Honda (they not only all own a 911 but multiple Porsches…wonder y, ha). After discussing minute details of engine components and countless types of stitching (don’t mean deviated), we were talking about the LC 500. Everyone agreed it’s a beautiful design…but they would chuckle if one said they’d choose it over a 911 (including the Toyota guy). I’ve driven the LC 500. It sounds and handles great. But I can’t forget how heavy and sluggish it felt. I’m pretty sure it weighs more than 2 tons. Choosing that over a 911 wouldn’t even cross my mind. U can mod the audio and exhaust to make the 992 sound rawer/better and at under $130K. My friend with a C8 with a Borla exhaust (it’s loud) recently said he likes how my 6 cyl T sounds more than his 8 cyl C8. I hope reviews like that doesn’t confuse / dissuade anyone from getting the best sports car period….
U know I had to snap one from my drive last night. Man, life is so much good-er with my T!
That is a great question, the over all cost would be lower, my fully specked out T and then full upgraded with the mods to the specs above a GTS would cost less then the base GTS
That's a beautiful GTS in your profile picture, bro
Has anyone done ecu tune for 2023 Carrera T? I was browsing on APR website and noticed the 3.0T base engine tune is only for 2020-2022. Maybe an oversight?

You still have all the stock stuff too, so in effect 2 different setups. That means your stock parts can live longer, while the track parts can be more optimized for track (rebuildable,.. etc).
The point I was getting at with my question was the upgrades for a GTS and a T are the same parts. So if you are going to upgrade a GTS, might as well just start with a T. Unless someone knows something I don't?
Exactly! Yeah, that is a great point! That is what I will ultimately do. I would not get the GTS because I can make my T faster for less than the base price of a GTS. Like you said I will also still have my stock parts, that I can put on for any reason down the road!
These are what the roads in rural Illinois look like. Of course it's boring in anything outside of a raw racecar, and why they feel they need a GT3 or a Z06 to be excited at the expense of usability.
For those of us who have access to good roads year round, a car like the T with a manual transmission makes a ton more sense because we can actually use it and have fun all the time... And bring the kiddos or luggage along for the ride.
For roads like this, you don't need a 911, you need a muscle car! A car that goes very fast, straight. Well, I guess if you need to have a 911 on these roads, get a Turbo S and go practice your 0-150-0 runs.

I think I am about a week to 10 days behind you but cannot be sure as sales guy is on holiday. I am off to Belgium tomorrow until Tuesday and have promised to help my daughter move house on the following Saturday so picking it up will not be easy, especially as the wife has made the very reasonable request - she wants to be there!
Enjoy your car. Your spec looks great. In many ways ours are similar in “ethos” if I dare use that word 😂
But my lights were specced partly due to you woes….
Funny enough you can tune the computer to lie and say it is what ever you want. You just gotta know which ones and zeros to flip.
This isn't really the same thing as buying a Fiero and putting a Ferrari body kit on it. The difference between a 911 T and a GTS is a post-it notes worth of bolt-ons.
At long last my production photos. I only have three, trawled for the fourth but definitely not there. Amazingly the photos today also appeared on "My Porsche" app on my i-phone under progress number 4. I am still waiting for the final update Number 5? Which should be there soon as I am picking up on Monday.
Best Devon Racer.
