I get email notifications from USPS and it showed an "Important Notice" coming from Porsche, I'm sure that's what it is. I had my car in the dealership 2x within the last 3 weeks and no problems with the glass.

[QUOTE=Dream in PTS;19412673]Congratulations. I've had the 918 buckets on several cars, although this is my first non-GT car with them. I did not option them on my 991.2 T and it was one of the reasons I did not keep that car longer (live and learn). I absolutely love them and feel they make the T even more special.

What are the other reasons? Very curious to know.

It was a great car but if I had it do over again, I would have added the 918 buckets (as mentioned) and full leather (the plastic dash looked and felt cheap). I had an early issue with the ceramic brakes (big chunk taken out with a rock) which was a pain to resolve. And the color palette was pretty limited, so I went with CWM with the standard wheels, which just never really wowed me. Like I said, it was a great car. But I have several cars and if I don't fall in love, I tend to move on after a year or two.

Just picked up my second t. Was very disappointed with my first spec. I think I nailed the second.

The green interior is fire. Interior trim is painted exterior (gt silver).

Light spec - manual plus ras. Nothing really else.

Completely agree. Did a wonderful drive from Toronto to Hershey PA this past weekend with buddies (GT3, Cayman R and others) and my T really performed! Its faster than the 997.2 GT3 and actually think its faster than the 991 GT3 but those were highway pulls in a secret place (Mexico). But on the PA curvy roads the Carrera T is sublime. I watched the Youtube above and that reviewer needs to stick to his Lexus reviews etc...watch him enter a few corners where he should have been downshifting to 2nd yet doesn't feel the car excites him...LOL.

I just purchased a 24 Z06 as well and I've already decided to sell it. I love my Carrera T.

It's a nice-looking 911. The exterior and interior go well together. I don't know about having ports-johns in one of the photos.

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

@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!

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.

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.
