You hit a home run, right down to the tires. Shark Blue is the best! I would have gotten it too if I didn't already buy one last year! LOL

Your build was fast! Mine started before yours and we finished together. Maybe we'll sail together.

I will say, I'm very worried I won't ever see that final build pic, especially since you got al of yours at the same time.

Thank you Adam! I thought about you with that last pic. You would think we ended up with the same tires since we were so close in production.

btw, I think I found matching driving shoes for shark blue, haha!

Oh, you may be right about the tires!!!! I can only hope.

Nice sneakers. I bought a ski jacket this winter. The color was a total coincidence, but a nice match. Not that I spend a lot of time in the Porsche during ski season.




Oh, and this Hagerty hat lives in the car too, just for fun.



And finally, these have extra long range when used in a Shark Blue car during treks.

Hello all

I'm new here so forgive me if I mess up with my postings! I have a new T coming early next month but was at my dealer today so took a few pics of their showroom car as it seems everyone is eager for new photos! I know a couple in Racing Yellow have been uploaded already but this one has gloss black wheels and the stiching in slate grey. I'll post plenty of my car next month when it arrives. This is a UK car so spec may be slightly different to US

Thanks for the photos. I have a RY on order which is going to be completed in the next two weeks. Like all of you, I cannot wait.

Mine said it left Emden on the 30th, and heading to Port Benicia via RCC Compass.

Yes of course, my bad. I usually ski PowMow and Snowbasin and stay away from PC (too crowded). May be patrolling at PowMow next year, I've been accepted by their patrol.

My SA called today to let me know the car hasn't been released from port yet. No further info on why but eta on his end is now 4/7, TYD still says 4/3 on mine. It also sounds like he's interested in buying the C63 I used as a trade since he had some questions about functionality of the car, that's pretty cool.

I've been bonding with the T for 4 days now. I'm so impressed with the car. It's surprisingly different from a similarly equipped S, which I have a fair bit of seat time in. Porsche is pretty good at dialing in a car with really modest changes. Here is my four day view. Keep in mind all comments are compared to a 2022 S 7MT. The car feels edgy and tossable, is that a word? It feels several hundred pounds lighter and markedly stiffer in all settings. Go cart comes to mind. Definitly less bottom end grunt, not to say weak, just less down low. In a drag race limited to 4K it would still be close. Can't speak to the upper end yet. Slightly, very slightly better engine sounds on the road, much worse road noise from tires and pebbles. I'll be adding GT3 skirts to help combat stone damage on the hips. Already had a few strikes, ouch. Steering feels great and nearly identical to the S. Tire pressure has a big input on the steering feel and grip. No tuning yet but recomended pressures feel a bit high overall. My car arrived with very high pressures and it was noticable dropping a few pounds at a time. The shifter was notchy at first, now 100 miles in, it shines. Certainly some of this is getting the feel and some is rough edges coming off. 9 stars on the shifter, Not Miata grade yet, but damn good. As in EXCELLENT. A/C keeps up with 90+ S. Florida heat and humidity easily. I'm now actually glad the buckets were not available, would have ordered them but, the 4 ways are soooooo good and incredibly sticky with the base fabric. Back seat access is a plus. Stereo is blah, who cares. Smoking package is actually a great armrest, taking it out is not good or comfortable. Storeage package is invisible and useful. Li battery runs 13.37 volts after settling down from a ride. Monitoring it overnight and so far no V drop. Using a Fluke meter so the numbers should be very accurate. Mine was specced without the door decal. It came with one anyway. Get the side view monitoring, if you have still time. At $1200 its a good buy. I did not get FAL and so far it has cleared some obsticals that looked pretty iffy. In S FL your probably OK without FAL. Can't speak to you guys north of the Mason Dixon line. RAS is still undecided, For around town it does give incredibly tight low speed turns. They are not really needed here. An option to turn RAS off and on would be neat. All in all this is a pretty cool car. I think the GT3 lite idea is not a bad description, Maybe GTS lite is closer? In any case its a lot of bang for the driver.
