Default First 1000 miles - blissful experience

had m engineering tune stage 1 at 300 miles no issues then upgraded the exhaust to soul valveless with soul cell cats at 600 miles, upgraded to stage 2 M engineering at 600 miles as well. Been driving ever since and no issues. Just want to say these two companies ate awesome!!!

For me, first 12 days, 850 miles, kept RPM under 4000 (difficult to say the least), and about 60% of the driving in SPORT mode. Heading to PEC-LA next week so that will add another 1000 miles at a minimum... woohoo!

Is there anyone else on this thread who's come into the Carrera T from a higher trim level 911, and felt underwhelmed by the T?

I had an ‘18 T, then a ‘22 S, then a ‘17 4S. I decided to go with a ‘24 T after all that. Had my choice of an early allocation for a .2 base or GTS with no ADM. I’ll let you know, but I don’t’ see any reason I won’t be happy with the T especially since I’ve seen the videos of the refresh!

I would hope it's discounted, its a 2023! I wonder why a 7 speed manual T hasn't sold? Thought everyone wanted manual T's

It was a used car with 3000 miles on it. This explains the price but still a good deal. Porsche finder shows it as sold now.

My wife and I are taking my T up to Northern Arizona this weekend. Around dusk we encountered a continuous fog of bugs that lasted for countless miles... It was as thick as a snowstorm at times.

This was the aftermath. It was a bloodbath 😂

The last things that went through those bugs brains were their a@#holes.

I came from a 991 GT3 (PDK) to a 992 T (7speed). The only thing I miss about the GT3 is the sound (Sharkwerks CMD). The 992 T is a better car for me in every aspect and it feels just as fast on the street. More room, more tech, more torque down low, love the manual, love the supple suspension (compared to the GT3).

I've owned multiple GT3's, GT4, Turbo S, etc. Out of my 15+ pcars, the 992 T is one of my all-time favorites and would be by easy #1 choice for road driving. This includes my 991.2 GT3 Touring.
