Well, you certainly showed me! That is pretty amazing. Seeing 400k miles in a Porsche is pretty insane.
Have you had any issues with it? True, but I had some trips that I had planned many years back that I took my car to, this year. Which I will not be doing for another 5 years or longer., I will not drive 20k in a year I don't think.
I am not saying my car will not last 10 years, frankly, I am not sure how long it will last. The thing with the Mesger engines though is they are bulletproof, and the most reliable engine ever made, by Porsche. We have no idea how the engines in the 992 will last. I am worried about the GTS 992s though since we have the same engine, it is pushing more HP from the same engine, which means it may have more stress problems than the T or the base

@TheSunTheSea Welcome. Exactly I also wanted full leather, and like @Barkat03 highly recommend the 18 ways your wife should love them.
Not much weight penalty. Like everyone else just chose what you like, it's a minefield really just go with your instincts and trawl the photos on this site and other Rennlist threads. Best Devon Racer.
Hence both ventilation and heated steering wheel. To be fair, the ventilated seats were more because I wanted full leather for the seatsNot much weight penalty.

MT v PDK
In the UK there are currently 26 pre-owned 992 T’s for sales of which 4 are MT. So a ratio of 6x1.
Assuming the ratio of new sales is quite different it begs the question
Following this forum from the start I’d guess among Rennlisters on here it’s at most 60/40 MT x PDK?
Any thoughts?

I understand that US market forces Porsche to bring back MT . . . Kudos to you guys, so we in Blighty can still enjoy the MT cars

I’m sure they will sell what sells anywhere they can make a sale. The U.S. still likes its Porsche with a stick. Ferrari and the likes, not so much new.

[QUOTE=TheSunTheSea;19165694]This is why I did it as well! I like having full leather seats and I live in New Mexico, (15-110 degree range)

Some companies do that. My dad's Track 911 has it and his old turbo. but the only place He and I trust to do serious work on our cars, and if needed or get anything like that done is in Nevada is a whole day away, and the person who does it is a person you are not allowed to hurry, so it can take anywhere from being done that week or months of waiting. Since my 911 is the only car I own I would rather not have my only means of transportation gone for multiple months

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is it necessary to have a contract signed with the SA after your allocation is set? I put a deposit down and can track my build in TYD, but haven't signed a formal contract. I trust my SA and but curious to know if it's something I should bring up or just wait until my car is delivered before signing a contract and paying for the car.
