Gotta be the PTS cut-off deadline. Mine was approved within the window. Seeing the S/T in Bahama at Rennsport was a surprise though.

I haven't seen her without roof racks and the RRT since September.

As I have previously posted, PCNA stated to my selling dealer that PTS was sold out from MY24. This was in early August 2023.

Got a T allocation a few weeks ago and finally landed on a build: https://configurator.porsche.com/en-...dFrom=PRESM165

Change Freeze is 2/4, manufacturing complete 3/11, and delivery slated for 4/19

You missed the free storage package option. I haven't heard one person extoll the virtues of power steering assist, dealer can add it later if you're not satisfied with how the steering feels (won't happen I'd bet).

I didn’t really like the way the net looked in person so I opted out of the storage package. I agree about PSP - in the new year I’m going to ask my SA to remove it.

If you get the storage package do you also get the storage net in the trunk, or does that come anyway without selecting it?

Nice build! You probably already know this, but by choosing the seat ventilation, you not only lose the sport-tex seat centers which are unique to the T, but you also lose the “911” embroidery on the head rests which would’ve been in guards red deviated stitching to match the rest of the deviated stitching package you’ve chosen. But if the aim was to make the seat centers leather, I get it.

The thing that annoys me the most is that you can't really have anything in your back pockets when you sit in the seats and you can't be holding anything in your hands when you maneuver out of the seats. I'm just not sure what to do with my phone, wallet and keys every time I get out.
Put then in the door, then grab them, or wear a coat with inside pockets, there are a few other ways you could do it but it is quite annoying

+1

@TheSunTheSea Alcantara, RaceTex, and SporTex all do a great job of keeping your back cool without the need for ventilated seats, even in the very hot climate where I live. Ventilated seats are not worth skipping the substantially better looking SporTex seats over plain leather IMO.

Agreed re the storage package. I did not spec it as well. If it is repeatedly used, over time the netting stretches out and looks like $hit. Example, look at any Z3 Roadster/Coupe (M models included) that had storage netting on passenger side of the transmission tunnel. If one intends to keep their 992 indefinitely then I would skip it.

No additional gains other than what you see depicted in the configurator, the passenger side netting.

Default Vanity Plate

I have finally received my vanity plate or ego plate as people call them.

I wanted mine to be unique, a German word, 7 letters so it would fit on the plate and be a word that can in a sense sum up the 911, or sum up what makes the 911 so special.

I chose the word “Zeitlos” which means Timeless in German. It fully sums up the 911. The 911
has been around since 1963 so 60 years. You can look at a Porsche 911 from any time period in that 60 years and know it’s a 911. The body style, performance, reliability, and the drivability is Timeless. Not many if any sports car will ever compare to the impact the 911 has had on the world and each and every one of our lives. The love for the 911 will remain Timeless.

Just because things are free, doesn't mean you ought to order them. Skipped the storage package and the rear seats too. The one freebie to get is the manual transmission.
