992 Carrera T Club
dropped off this am for 1yr maintenance after redlining for first time on my way. burnt clutch i believe meant it's working.....
data point, regarding glass recall. said they were obligated to do pressure test for safety/CYA reasons

I agree. The 992.1's implementation of the analog tach flanked by the digital screens was just enough history meets tech in my opinion, and preserved the history without looking/feeling archaic. The 992.2's digital dash looks just a generic as the rest of the automotive world right now. And the start key is just a huge miss for me, even more so than the digital display. It's a LeMans signature that should have never been toyed with.
I'm really happy with my decision to move forward with building a bespoke 992.1 T when I did. I wholeheartedly believe it will hold a special place in the 911/992 lineage.

Not a big deal to most drivers, but that was one of early the criticisms of the 992.1 that all the hack car journalists used to recite and repeat.

I believe one of the reasons they went that route is to be able to slightly overlap the 5 tubes in order to keep the viewing window within the steering wheel unobstructed.

With all these changes in mind, I have a question. I ordered a 2024 T with the intent of selling/ trading my 2023 that now has 6k miles. Now I’m rethinking getting rid of the 2023 and just keeping both. I’d have to make some moves and use money currently getting 5% apr that is for retirement. What would you do? Both T’s are highly optioned with leather, deviated stitching and the 2024 has LWBS. 2024 is GT Silver and 2023 white with lizard interior aerokit and CF roof. I realize these are just base cars and not GT.
Edit: Ive already made down payment on the 2024 and it’s being built in mid June.

Ps. I'm jealous of the exclusive wheels. It's the only option I was on the fence on and stuck with the standard T exclusive painted wheels. I should've gone with the exclusives...
Just cracked 17,500 miles on my 23 T
Wow, just hit, 17,500 blissful miles. With the .2 release info, I’m even more delighted with my 7MT T!
Also, inconel catless DPs are a total game changer with the PSE. I can try to get some sound on YouTube soon.
flaps closed, almost like stock, with slight sounds,
open…..absolute animal!

it wakes the car up sound wise tremendously. Has a total different sound, the “tin” sounding higher pitches noise from the alloy used really works well with the small turbos and 3.0. I have had all sorts of very positive comments about it but it actually sounds like an older classic Porsche turbo now…..
yes CEL, for now, not worried about it though.

its RedStar, heat shield and inconel (similar to titanium). I only did the downpipes. I literally did it on ramps on my back in about 45 minutes. Was super easy, seemingly easier than the GT4 OAPs. It’s 1 vband and four bolts. Only hard part is the Vband bolts are inverted from the factory (guessing to make it hard to steal the cat’s?)
