I was set against pink/purple but after seeing these photos that looks awesome! My wife actually prefers this over my Python Green, too late to change now.
So how do you feel about the T and the color so far?
So in six days during my European Delivery I put just over 2100 km on the car. For details regarding the trip head over to European Delivery thread. I haven’t posted there yet but will eventually.

The color is amazing. I don’t think pictures do it justice. Even when picking up the car under the lights when taking pictures with my IPhone 13 Pro I couldn’t get an accurate representation of what my eyes were seeing. The pictures looked lighter than what my eyes were seeing. Looks great and different on overcast days, full sunlight and evening light. Lots of looks and compliments.
The car is not as loud as I expected it to be. My last somewhat modern day sports car was a 2003 350z. Definitely quieter than that car and quieter than my 87 911. Most of the noise seems to come from the tires/wheel wells. My car has the Michelins.
Engine/exhaust note is just right for me even with back seats added back in.
Plenty of power for the street. I could see how people would want more power for the track. Brakes are excellent especially for the street. Handling is what I expected and excellent. My car doesn’t have RAS.
Interior is great even in its base form. The black 911 stitching on the black seats stands out more than expected and love it. Love the checkered sports Tex. My only options interior were the silver/gray seatbelts and ambient lighting. Not bothered by not having leather on the dash etc.
Dislikes:
Base stereo is not great. At highway speeds you have to have crank up the volume up to about 50 percent to just hear the music. But that’s okay, I expected that. Luckily I listen to a lot NPR as well.
Not seeing the outside two dials when looking straight on at the dash is a known issue.
Center cup holder is nearly useless in a manual transmission car. Replaced with the tray insert immediately.
Probably could have done without the GT steering wheel. The enlargement of grips at 10 and 2 positions makes the outer dials even harder to see. I hold the wheel at 3 and 9 so at least doesn’t interfere to much.
The side bolsters on the 4 way seats are more prominent than expected. Learning new gymnastics moves in order not to wear them out getting in and out of the car.
Piano Black in the center console area where there are a lot of touch points. Across the dash and on the doors is not great but at least tolerable.
So we may be forced to take the stickers. Slightly comical, really. Reminds me that someone here recently reported that, despite him having specced decal-delete, Porsche went ahead and stickered his car anyway. Perhaps that was an omen.
That was me. Despite Zuffenhausen’s best efforts, I’m taking the stickers off.
@reddysum thank you for the notes. Particularly your dislikes. It's good to know there's little new and that they're all easy to live with. I'm lucky that in Mexico cars come standard with Bose and I'm planning to experiment with frozen PPF on the black piano trim.
I’m sorry I really didn’t take interiors pics. Completely slipped my mind. I have plenty of pics and videos of the exterior but most of those have a product called road warrior plus for temporary paint protection.
