992 Carrera T Club

I have heard the same. BTW, as for the Aero kit, I spoke with my SA on Monday and he told me if it's in now, it's accepted; we're locked. Period. We can only hope! Maybe they order/plan for a certain amount of Aero cars each year and when that number is hit, they stop. The only thing that's odd is why are people's cars delayed sometimes because of the Aero, which would sound more like a supply chain issue. Who knows?!

I have a freeze date in 2 days and I am torn on the last choice; Interior, currently have the standard + silver grey seat belts, but thinking if it will be a mistake to not get the Standard Carrera T standard with slate grey stitching, I know it has been discussed that the slate grey is almost not noticeable, but what if it ends up being good and the 911 on headrests pops up nicely
the harder part is that you lose the silver grey seatbelts and get a darker grey that is almost black ( 2nd picture).,
It's my first one and I don't want to have regrets later for 2-3k$.
Any comments on either choice?

I don't know that one is substantially "grippier". but I do think the "striped" sporttex may be coarser (like a 991.2) than the checkerboard which is available on other 992s. It will certainly be nice to see cars in person so we can do away with all of our speculation.

I find it hard to believe the Porsche hierarchy back in Stuttgart are happy for this to be happening in the US. It’s bribery plain and simple!
I’ve never heard of it happening in the UK and speaking personally I’ve ordered from various dealers over the years, both Porsche owned and franchises and never even been hinted at.
Does this happen at Ferrari, McLaren, Corvette etc dealers too??

I checked with my SA and he said the same as above. My order has been in since early Jan and I freeze in a couple days. He said I would have heard by now if Aero was coming off. Really hoping he's right!

Perhaps @Scott P knows the answer to this, but I am beginning to wonder if it is an antitrust violation in the US for dealers to require customers to buy aftermarket products (such as PPF) from them in order to get an allocation? I think I vaguely recall my company's general counsel describing something like this as illegal tying.
God bless you,

Having seen the LA show car in person, which was python green over leather T interior with slate stitching, I can say confidently that there is almost no contrast between the stitching and the leather. Maybe if the car is outside, under direct sunlight, the distinction is noticeable. But if you’re not looking for it, you won’t notice the contrast.

The LA show car is leather T interior with black stitching. It has standard T sporttex pattern seats, not the unique sporttex pattern on the slate or green package.

Does anyone know what Porsche means when they say: “The windscreen also features a grey top tint.”
Stumbled across this on the original Porsche press release for the T. Are they saying the front windshield is tinted gray, or the black portion at the very top of the windshield is gray, or what? Not sure this was evident in any photos/videos so far.
