I would not go aftermarket seats. I really want LWB. If they car is not offered in LWB, I'd be fine. What would tick me off is if I can't get them but then a month later they are made available.

My SA told me they got allocations through June last week. Considering the model year switchover is typically late July, I wonder if I'm SOL on a T allocation this year if I didn't get one in the massive wave that came through.

Are you suggesting that 992.2 comes out in July 2023?

And I know the 18-way are heavier... Im more concerned with being "hugged" by them vs. the weight because I won't be able to feel the difference in weight personally (not big enough difference to affect me).
This T allocation was the absolute best Xmas gift I could have asked for... but santa brought a few other Porsche goodies under the tree... hope he was good to everyone else!

Merry Xmas everyone. I got my allocation and my SA told me to finalize my build over the holiday, and he would "input" the buckets as soon as he submitted my build. He couldnt confirm they would be added, but hes been in close contact with the NA representative who told him to mark it on the build sheet and if they can do it they will. A little nervous about them too, but even without them this car is going to be really special. I think im actually going to option my car with the 18-way and have my SA mark down that I want the LWCB... if they arent available, I think I'd rather have the 18-way over the 4-way simply so I can increase the bolster on the bottom and shoulder area for track driving... I imagine you can create more of a "bucket" feel with the 18-way vs the 4-way... but I'd love feedback on that from people that have had them... My current 992 has the regular sport seats so im not familiar with the other seats.

Not true! Scott is a Telemarker (note, Telemarking is a type of skiing, not a sales technique 
) and a ski patroller, too. Very special, indeed.
God bless you,

And @TomTarzian God bless you as well my friend. Always so kind. Blogs should have more of guys like you. My aunt was a patroller for 40 years and got me in to it. I tell everyone of all the things I've done in my life, patrolling is the most gratifying thing I've done. In 21 years on the hill, thankfully I've only been involved in one lifesaving incident, the rest are all fall injuries (shoulders, wrists, knees, ankles). I did get involved in trying to save an elderly woman's life in cardiac arrest with CPR. Unfortunately she didn't survive. Turned out she was the mother of a judge I regularly appear before as an attorney. She thanked me profusely for being there when her Mother needed it most. Merry Christmas RennListers, hope you are all well, happy, safe, warm and with family and/or friends.

Now THAT would be cool to hut ski in Yosemite! Telemarking isn't downhill (Alpine) but instead Nordic skiing. It's how the Norse travelled from village to village. Climb up one side, ski down the other. Here ya go, me in action.
Tele Time!

Is Porsche's M.O. typically run a special T model at the end of the production of 99x.1 then discontinue it after 99x.2 comes out? And "typically" I guess in retrospect, means only the 991 T historically.
