Painless no, but it is completely manageable which was my greatest fear going in since I've had 3 ortho surgeries in the past (construction accident). Thanks for the well wishes, best thing I've done in a while. Godspeed to you as well.

The options allowable on the S definitely make it more luxurious than the T. Honestly, the interior choices on the T almost make me want to spring for an S (the interior choices all seem very boyish. Sporty, but just gives not great vibes), none of them seem anywhere near worth the price increase over the base. Which is why I'm going for the stripper T PP6GZZ38. RAS, LCA, roof transport, and guards red + seatbelts or gentian blue at 122.
Minimally, if you want the S to be similarly spec'd you need the sport package w/ manual + sport seats at 131, which is an 9k difference. Of course, you don't lowered SPASM, nor do you need sport exhaust, which puts it alarmingly close in price.
Even still, 9k is definitely not much at all for bigger engine, turbo, brakes, and way way nicer interior options. Options aren't necessarily a good thing. I don't think I could convince myself not to get a 138k S, which is a big enough difference to slot me into a T. Any ADM though, and this suddenly becomes a bad value.

Yes, and it isn’t too difficult to throw the gts turbos on with a tune and have gts+ power if one ever gets bored with the low hp motor in their t.

Dreaming of a T in my stable has kept me sane and busily clacking away at the keyboard searching reviews and videos and commiserating with my fellow RennListers. I had a total knee replacement 6 weeks ago so this has given me a great distraction. Hope things get better for you Ethos.
I can’t wait to get mine. Without going into detail there are some not so good things going on in my life and this vehicle has really become a glowing beacon of light and hope for me. It gives me something to obsess about and dream about. I am nowhere near as financially secure as many of our friends here at RL, but I’m taking the plunge because this might be the only chance I can ever do something like this.

Same here. In part I'm buying this for my dad and I to share, he had two knee replacements this year. He can afford one, but he won't buy one... so that's where I come in. We are so excited, although I temper that with an 18 month wait. We have great cars now, and relatively new ones at that, so it's not really a must-have at the moment anyway. Just something to look forward to.

379hp is really more like 420-430hp based off of numerous dynos. Porsche almost always underrates.

Excellent that you're sticking to a minimalist build "Ethos_of_the_T". Highly recommend you drop the Ti bolts and add in RAS if you're trying hard to stay at the ~$125k price. One you can add aftermarket cheaper, the other is something not offered on the base and thus unique to the T.

Pick two, and only two, big ticket "Indulgence Options" for your T. By picking these 2, you cannot pick any of the others. Which do you choose:
Special Color (ie, Chalk or Python Green) $3,270
RS Spyder Wheels $2,540
Carrera Exclusive Wheels $2,630
Standard Carrera T Interior $2,410
Carbon Fiber Roof $3,890
Sport Design Front Fascia $3,240
Front Axle Lift $2,770
Rear Axle Steering $2,090
Which option over $2k did I miss that you would choose instead that isn't listed above?
