Oh, one more thing about break-in procedures, this guy seems to really have some good experience as an engine builder. He's not much of a website builder, but he seems to know piston rings. lol. BTW, piston ring break-in is the most critical and done in the first few miles, just like the old days. And this is the reason why people say babying the engine is not good as a break-in.
This is all good news for you, @toph4242 because you can do 90% of the break-in on day one, then head for the autobahn! This guy says the first 20 miles are critical! (Good thing my CGTS only had 7 miles on it when I picked it up )

I'm on the waiting list for a 911 GTS, it looks like it will arrive sometime in mid/late 2024. I've been offered an allocation for a T for May of this year. Trending towards buying the T and staying on the list for the GTS as an option. The dilemma, will the T feel like a disappointment vs the GTS, is the idea of buying the T and then potentially switching it out for a GTS later nuts? I'd spec the T properly (largely) with manual, add rear seats, rear axel steer, bit of race-tex. I'd use the either car as a semi-daily driver and for the occasional track day. First 911, so would appreciate your advice.
I agree 100% with toph4242 , jump on the T you can always decide to trade up later and 992 T is a very intriguing proposition.
I just came back from a very nice 600km ride with my new 992 GTS (back & forth Milan-Tuscany, 90% highway of which 180km of very high speed mountain drive). GTS is a wonderful car, the weight transfer from rear axle and front axle is state of the art, there is definitely a nice difference with my previous 991.2 S. Having said that, there is no way I would wait 18months or more for a GTS.
I am pretty sure 992 T will keep a smile on your face every time you drive it, every time you look back after parking, every time you approach it before jumping into it. It is your first Porsche and sooner then expected you will end up thinking "I should have bought it before".
So...go and get a 992T!
My Freeze point just moved back 4 days but production completion is still the same. I wouldn't mind if it got moved back a couple of weeks actually, let the weather become a little nicer around here.

I hear ya... I'm in a similar boat where mine moving up doesnt really change much for me either since I cant change my ED date... but I guess the quicker mine gets built the less likely there will be issues with international registration paperwork etc all getting done on time, so I'm fine with as much buffer as they want to give.
I'll do my part... My TYD CP8.0 Production Completed date is now 3/31. It was originally 3/10. Seeing as I just sold my GT350, I sorta want my 911T sooner rather than later!

Mine moved back a week and production is now 3/10. Funny how all the dates are very fluid right now.
