On the battery - can’t we swap in antigravity (yeah it is a bummer to pay twice for the battery)? Did you find out something different from my research we offline discussed?
You can swap out from a Porsche Lithium to AGM or vice versa when the time comes but you have to get a new ground strap if you go from Lithium to AGM or Aftermarket Lithium like Antigravity. That is because the Porsche Lithium has a proprietary plug/connector directly on the Lithium battery itself.... BUT if you swap to a Ground Cable from an AGM equipped 992 then the Ground cable has the exact plug on it so you simply plug into the New ground strap''s plug. New Ground strap is about $80-90 dollars.
This plug that is on the Porsche Lithium Battery and ALSO on the Ground Cable for the AGM equipped Cars is the same thing. It is called and intelligent battery sensor. It give voltage and other battery information to the cars system. The only difference is the Porsche Lithium has it built into the battery itself, and the new Ground cable has it built into the cable at the area where is connects to your Battery... but they are the same and report the battery data via a 2 wire cable called Linbus.
So in the future when you need to you can do what you want and put and AGM or other battery like the Antigravity Lithium in when you need.
See that oval opening where the screw driver is pointing that is where you plug the plug that goes to the Porsche Lithium Battery...the part number is on that bag also...

One more picture. When Wife and I were contemplating colors, we both liked the Ruby, but understandably, discussed whether it was a bit too attention getting and maybe a bit lurid. Then she said "..welll, we do have precedent."
We have way too many fun cars but let's call out those with some color character. Note that the TR's magenta is very close to Ruby, but a bit more purple.
When I first bought the TR, ~30 years ago, an English friend who was a bit older than I said "Well, that is a lurid color.....I was a young lad in London in '74....that was a rather lurid year!".

I picked the car up from the detailer on Friday.
I have only had a chance to put about 50 miles on her, but enjoyed every one.
I think his camera gives a image that is closer to the real shade than those taken by my phone.
Hope you guys still like it!
Does anyone know where I can get the white ring for the top side of the steering wheel? Does it exist also in other colours?
@Amalfi Racing,
My wife, who is v patient with my "hobbies", is also creative/practical and she made it for me from scratch from material bought at our local hardware shop.
My understanding is that the steering wheel centre marker is a feature/option only on Porsche's GT cars.

would actually love to see that how to if you don’t mind!

She used coloured electrical tape (a strip of which she cut to the precise width of the existing indentation on the steering wheel) and then sealed it with a clear lacquer finish.
Tough call. If you didn't love the .1, I doubt you'll love the .2. It might have more power but it will be heavier due to hybrid tech. The only hope for a visceral 992.2 is the GTS, which is rumored to have the 718's 4.0 without hybrid. It seems we may be at the end or near the end of the line for "light, visceral, and powerful enough" 911s. I'm sure glad I have a 2024 light spec T.
I adore my 992T, so it’s even tougher call.
My Targa 4S order is fairly old order, before I got my paws on the 992T. I am keeping the order in the system not to lose my queue, when the 992.2 comes out. Looking at the mules on the IG I am not seeing much of a difference. Let’s see what power train is bolted to new Targa
Place holder GTS commission has been filled and received notification in my Porsche account that I have the option to build GTS Coupe for a July Delivery. LOVE the T but should I jump into the GTS?

GTS is great, but IMO only make the jump if you're planning on getting it as a PDK, have a lot of track time planned, and really want the options available on the GTS but not on the T. For a daily driver with a manual transmission, stick with the T - the smaller turbos and more naturally-aspirated feel of the base engine suits the manual transmission and wringing-it-out on public roads better. Fact, not opinion haha
