992 Carrera T Club

The T is $3-4k less than my S when comparably built, still missing some options not available on the T and while it gets the S's PTV, manual, PASM Sport, etc. as a way to bring the base in line with the S, it is still missing out on the S engine for little savings and far too many compromises. Add to that whatever ADM and wait the T brings with it, and I can't understand needing to get this car.

“This new T is not much cheaper than my 2020 S. I can’t see why anyone would buy it.” That’s something I’ve heard recently. Apples and oranges. You have to build new models in the configurator because the base prices have been going up rapidly.

It's also just odd that people get upset about other people buying a car that apparently makes their own car look like great value. For me it's the great thing about Porsche. Yes, they make us pay for it, but we can spec the car we want, not the car someone else wants.

I don't know, I'm not sure I could live without my music in the background. Definitely couldn't live without A/C!

I think all those speakers, the wiring harnesses and the PCM head unit could easily add up to a 15 - 20lbs savings or so. The problem is you wouldn't be able to get rid of the PCM since all the cars functions are controlled from there. They'd have to rethink it all and incorporate it into the instrument cluster.

*EDIT - Think it might have been before the 991 now I think about it.

A “radio delete” in a 992 would look awesome. Sort of similar to the old cars. My 993 has a radio delete - it’s clean and focused feeling.
