I suspect that your crystal ball is calibrated for GT3, while you are buying a T.
Carrera T stands for Touring, not Tracking. As such, standard 4-way or 18-way seats are ideal. Bucket seats are sub-optimal for Touring, but great for Track days. Ditto for PCCB if you drive WOT and slam on brakes repeatedly, and want to avoid brake fade. I have done two European tours in the last 6 months and I never experienced brake fade.
I agree with you on keeping standard decals, but I added over-bonnet-roof stripes for good measure, as those I can change every season, if I want to and I do
kinda still back and forth on weather I shoulda kept the side decal . Sometimes I wanna have it added on
Excited to join this thread as I recently put in my allocation order for my 992 Carrera T last week. I chose Chalk for the exterior color but am debating making the rims gloss black or keeping the standard finish.

Thoughts or votes one way or the other?
They look good but the graphite rims are only available on T so depends how exclusive you want your car to be.
On Sunday I picked up the T from my dealer in Central California. I then went on a 230+ mile drive from the dealer to home in Northern California getting a mix of highway and b-roads (Hwy 25 and 198) and passing by Pinnacles National Park (route). Even keeping under 4K RPM (for break-in), the car is a lot of fun to drive and allowed me to be a bit of a hooligan when no one was around.
Dealer experience was great! They purchased and installed clear side marker lights and installed radiator grills for me. The radiator grills I got were from Rennline (link) which require the bumper to come off and cannot be seen easily from the outside. They didn't charge me for labor and I only had to purchase and ship the grills to them. Overall I highly recommend Porsche San Luis Obispo for anyone considering a new/used Porsche.

@Pivot My sincere apologies I haven't had time to go to my electrical battery supplier yet in Plymouth, but have just seen this in 911 & Porsche World (January 2024 issue), It's a CTEK lithium charger at £85.99 where my Porsche version cost £128,00 inc vat. Pivot I think this will do you fine. Check it out?
I have been slow out of the box this year and I will start replying to some of yours & other posts.
I agree that one should keep to the running in instructions, but I think Wilder is correct in that you need to increase the revs over time and not go from 4000 rpm only to 7,500 rpm without incremental increases, between these rev bands, so from 1000 miles I will start to increase the revs to 5,000 / 5,500 rpm.
I think the most useful thing for running in is to avoid motorways and constant revs, and keep to A & B roads where one is constantly changing gears and the revs accordingly are varying over the mileage hugely.
More to come shortly.
Best Devon Racer.
Many thanks Devon Racer.
I see that the CT5 charger is ideal for 5-25Ah batteries, i.e. small vehicles like motorcycles, jetskis, etc. Is P-992 battery that small? I am used to larger cars with larger lead-acid batteries
I also see reference in another thread to CTEK Lithium XS, which is for 5-120Ah batteries. Its a little more expensive, but I think its more appropriate for our vehicles.
I guess I need to dive under the bonnet and check the battery capacity.

All personal preference, and easy to remove/add/remove
I am thinking about changing my colour scheme for summer, so 911 T decals will probably go, but I will get a spare set of decals to restore it to original condition... later

April feels a long way off...
When did you get your allocation and when is your delivery slated for? I also have an April delivery (allocation in the first week of December and delivery slated for 4/19)

Allocation was late December (with the v200). TYD showing 4.6.2024 delivery. So could be worse, and early April is a fine time for a new car!
