Spec-related is correct. Switched to lizard green leather interior with some other interior bits.

Devon Racer.
@Devon Racer Not tempted by a gearbox oil change as well ? I was and did it before on a 997 but seem to be in a minority of one!

I just purchased a 24 Z06 as well and I've already decided to sell it. I love my Carrera T.
At the end of the day, it's how you feel in your car that matters. And everyone is different. Last month I rented a base 2023 911 convertible and a 2021 GT4 Cayman to drive in the Angles Crest Canyon. The first weekend was the 911 and I absolutely loved it! Hearing how everyone loves the GT4 I was expecting to be blown away. Far from it! The GT4 was super bumpy, cramped, and too loud for my taste. Yet I've never seen a single person on youtube who doesn't like the GT4. Well if it was me I would take the base 911 convertible over the GT4 and I'm not even a convertible guy. So yeah, take all the reviews with a grain of salt you never know.

Officially coming out of my shell here to post the arrival of my T! (pictured post-PPF)

Went "full ethos" with the spec :
- Manual
- Bucket seats
- RAS
- Extended fuel tank
- Aluminum pedals

I couldn't be happier with mine, its the perfect Touring car for Atlantic Canada where our roads are very similar to Maine/NH/Vermont. I'm actually leaving later this morning to go to the wine region of Nova Scotia for two days (Wolfville) and looking forward to putting another 700 + km's on it.

Agreed. That reviewer needs to stick with Hondas and drift cars.

Mine is on it’s second beer run to Belgium and is rapidly closing in on 5,000 miles since 1 December. The good news is that the frunk can only hold one crate plus loose bottles so we have to keep coming back! An excellent tourer.

Picture from our last run in December. Currently sleeping in the same place ready for a run out in Flanders tomorrow.

Yup. A sticker. Seemed a shame to drill a hole in the front to mount the plastic plinth and the OPC does a lot of these. £80. But still not as clean a line as no number plate.

Got the plinth and “normal” plate in the garage should I ever have a change of heart.

I would like to know if any are debadging their 911Ts? I’ve seen more than a few Porsches around my area. One I’m sure that was a TurboS that I guess didn’t want to draw attention. Seems like a bit of an Oxymoron to me, no?
