992 Carrera T Club
#2341
power curve of the 992 3.0 TT has much more power throughout the entire rev band + Porsche definitely lying about the power figures more on the 3.0 TT vs the 4.0 means the 911 will be faster. I'd say a tuned 2.5 T 718 GTS will be faster than a stock or lightly modded 4.0 718 GTS because of the power curve.
718s are fun because they hold so much speed through a corner, its almost comical chasing down higher power cars on track through corners, but then the 911 can stomp on the throttle early and power right out and disappear. Different driving dynamics with the two cars.

The 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 laps VIR in 2:50.3 (about the same time as a 2015 GT3). The 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T does it in 2:53.4. A 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 does it in 2:54.0 and a 2011 Porsche 911 GT3RS does it in 2:55.9.
Car & Driver also found that the 718 GT4 is faster 0-60 (3.3 seconds with PDK, 3.7 seconds with a manual) than the 992 Carrera T (3.7 seconds with PDK, 4.3 seconds with a manual).
So, yes, the GT4 is faster, but they're both very capable.

I find Car & Driver's Lightning Lap series to be one of the most authoritative, apples-to-apples comparisons of the capabilities of different cars in more than a 0-60 sprint.

I would say a better comparison is a Cayman 4.0 GTS vs the T, both on n spec Max performance Tires

Given the tire differences, they're probably both the same speed around a track.

HRE's are the bomb, got 'em on my 650GC. Lighter than stock, and a tremendous bit stronger and more impervious to being bent.

I'm thinking how to bring in a little bit of the racing yellow exterior color into the interior. In my 991 T (also yellow) I had the yellow T interior package with yellow stitching, sport tex seat centers and belts. It looked good but sometimes I felt like it was a little too much yellow. On the 992, I'm thinking yellow belts and/or the sport chrono dial. What do you think?

I use this correction factor in looking at lap times comparing Carrera models to GT models.
I think your assessment is probably correct.

911 T Allocations. Anyone have any updates on allocations projections for 2023. Two dealers in my area (Florida) both told me they expect to have and have received 1 allocation for all of 2023 model year. Being #2 on the list I should expect 2024 model year car unless something changes and more are released.
Very frustrating... then I talk to some dealers outside my area... and they act like no problem getting a 2023 and happy to put me on their list asking for deposit. Which is true? I tend to believe my local dealers that I have relationship with. Why so few 911 T being produced?

Just put in for mine. 2-year wait. Guards Red, 7-speed, Aerokit with painted sides, stripe delete, RS Spyder wheels. Going to get an M Engineering tune as soon as I get it. Should be fun with nearly 450rwhp @ under 3300lbs 😊
