that is a gt3rs, so all the carbon panels are painted and installed after the body paint stage

is a Carrera T with spyder rims in titanium grey still a real Carrera T? Or should I better choose the original Carrera S rims in titanium grey?

what do U think?

YES 100%

The base T is just a blank canvas, that all of us have as standard, what makes the T is, what you option, and how you do.
You could put any type of after market wheels, S wheels, or anything and it would still be a T

At $300K….This a garage queen I’m afraid, no need for RAS.

The S/T isn't a track car so I don't get what you mean. They're trying to shed weight at all costs and make the car more connected feeling which it seems like they achieved based on all the reviews

The S/T was never actually built to be a track car, it could be one just like any 911 could be tracked
BUT the main focus was to build the best road car ever.
They modified the frame, the suspension, everything is different and Road focused,
Just like the RS is tuned and built for the Track.
Same concept

It was Probably @Wilder or @ECNJ
Because these bad boys are highly knowledgable about 911s

Yeah those stupid Porsche engineers didn’t bother with the S/T knowing it would just sit in garages.
They knew EVO and the other car specialist mags wouldn’t review it and claim it to be the best road going 911 ever.

OMG, stop listening to all the opinions and go with how you want your T spec’d. You’re the one writing the check. ✊

The RS Spyder wheels are the heaviest out of the three styles offered. They are also a PITA to clean. I really like them, but because of those two reasons I stuck with the standard S wheel.

Stupid? No,no, I didn’t say it wouldn’t get reviewed I said it would get garaged by collectors. Its price tag and limited run make it special. AND OVERPRICED.
