992 Carrera T Club
#5971
What a great description of your thought process and journey - thank you. What you said resonates with me a lot and in many ways I may be on the same journey as you... experiencing the PDK, loving it, etc. - but I imagine I too will crave the MT again some day. I'm on the waitlist for a 992 T and I think I'm leaning more and more towards MT for that car, but it is still a close call. Part of the draw for PDK for me was giving my wife the opportunity to drive this car (she does not like MT, gives her anxiety around town). But so far she hasn't even driven the PDK very much, so this may be a moot point!

I started contacting my dealer about pre owned GT3s with manuals and asked to get on waitlists for an eventual GT3 touring... but then I had to stop myself and realized that I am a few years away from making that a reality (and they weren't going to be able to get me one anyways)... The T was then announced and as soon as I read the announcement I was calling the manager of my local dealership putting in an order for a 7MT Ruby T. I knew my previous 911 was slower, and giving up PDK meant giving up some performance, but a manual 992 experience was way more important to me.
Only downside for me is that the Taycan now has to go due to limited garage space, but I hope to re-add a Porsche EV in the future when my kids go to college (but that's a discussion for a different thread.)

I'd prefer manual adjustment, set and forget. I don't need the wheel up and out of the way to get in/out of the car. On a separate note, PCA's original announcement for the T said the car had "370 horsepower." Then the press releases came out after the Angeles Hwy blasts saying the car had 379 hp, today on TYD, here's the following hp figures:

Similar thought process as yours! I went from a 997.2 6MT into a Taycan 4S. It was like going from a Blackberry to an iPhone 14! But there was the lack of driver engagement in the Taycan despite it being a really perfect DD. For the same price as a GT3 with ADM, I could get into a 992 T 7MT for myself plus a Macan for my non-manual-driving wife, which seems to be a better compromise.

What do you think of this build? Anything you would add to the white / green combo?
https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PPPSCMX4
For those of you that have had the surround view, does it give you a 360 birds eye view when you go into reverse or do you have to click it on PCM? I've found on other vehicles that when I have to click into the system to access surround view I use it much less, but if it gives you the view automatically when in reverse it is handy.

The configurator images are not working for me at the moment... But if they aren't added, I would throw the green seat belts in too!

here’s also a pic of the rear belts in green. I’m not getting rear seats but the photo shows how nice the belts go with the interior. Is anyone getting the lizard kit with any other exterior color other than white or green?

Surround view gives automatic 360 top down view... It is something that I would be sad to give up in my situation/places I drive and park... When you engage reverse you get the top down 360 view + rear view of bumper in split screen... and then when you put it in drive you get the top down 360 view + front camera split screen view to make sure you dont scrape the front lip on anything... Its a very nice system.
The configurator images are not working for me at the moment... But if they aren't added, I would throw the green seat belts in too!

Thanks, that's a good idea. I was wondering if the lone race-tex console might look a little out of place with the standard interior but it does look good in that pic. Will prob add that.

That’s my favorite interior combination I really like the lizard stitching. Only thing I would maybe add is a splash of race-tex on the console. It looks awesome with the stitching also.

Thanks, that sounds like how I would want the surround view to work. I will probably add that to the build, seems worth it. The green belts are included in the T lizard interior pack, so should be good to go. I added the lizard green tach and chrono dials for a little extra pop with the green.
