I can always swap them out for the CF or black ones from SunCoast Parts, but I have other plans for those without swapping them out...

I've collected so many parts over the past few weeks in preparation for my "T" to arrive. Can't wait for May to come!

Made a deal today with the Carrera T in Ice Grey Metallic with the aero package with high gloss elements. Totally fell in love with the car. Which was a bit strange since the car has a lot of elements I would not chose myself but I have started to like them. Mainly because all of you guys! The Aero package is not popular in Europe. Only few people order it. But looking at all your pictures for a year the aero really started to grow on me. So when this car came by I felt like hitting the jackpot.

I love the T ethos. But my current T has the glass sunroof and 18 way seats. Did not know the weight difference was that big. So my idea was to spec the next one without them. Also my wife is not driving the car as expected and the steering wheel adjustment (mainly reason for memory seats) was not electric. Since my legs are pretty short the 4 way seats were fine. This car is specced with the 4 way seats. And it also has the carbon roof! So finally some real T ethos! I do think the aero package adds weight? But also this car is specced with FAL. Which adds weight. So all in all probably not much difference.

The T ethos for me was also the agathe grey elements on the outside. It’s a mismatch with the black high gloss elements. And the black wheels. Which means I decided to not put the decals back and remove the badge on the back. So also against my own normal preference. Also the car has the tinted windows which I usually hate. So all in all it seems a bit strange. How can a car have so much elements I would usually dislike but still fall in love with it? Probably some things started to grow on me and the car is the sum of its own parts. It is a bit further away from the usual T elements I prefer but because of that the car has a different look that I like. And it remains a real manual T of course. No rear seats.

What I don’t understand: the owner went for the black elements but did not opt for the black LED matrix lights. So headlights remain an issue with me lol.

The interior is totally my style. With red elements I would chose myself and with the red deviated stitching. Also the fire extinguisher. Regarding safety issues it has the surround camera view and the lane departure warning. The car also has the keyless go. He also chose the aluminium pedals which strangely feel very good when using them. Not something I would pick but I like the feel. Burmester is a nice touch, although the sound (especially the bass!) is indeed not as good as my aftermarket sound package.

Main point is the car has only 6000km. After driving it I was very surprised how fresh it felt. With mine at 32.000km I did not notice it was not a new car anymore. When you step into a newer one you notice the pedals feel nicer, the clutch and the manual all feel tighter. The car is specced with the steering wheel plus. And has RAS. The combination works well. I noticed the RAS right out of the bat. But with the Michelins definitely a different drive. I can safely say though that no 911 needs it. But I can also easy live with it in combination with the power steering plus. It makes it a different car. Will elaborate on that more soon.

So all in all I have the same car but a totally different one as well. I am a very very happy man indeed and proud owner of my second 992 T. Even after selling my 991.2 GT3 after 9 months I wanted something else. But after driving the T for 1 year exactly I am just not ready to part from it and wanted another one. I also have never driven a 911 that long. What a compliment! Will take delivery in about 3 weeks because I have some planned trips to do with my red one. Cheers!
