@Ikone @avid
Just to be clear. Porsche marketing has never said the T was a lightweight 911? Or maybe I have missed this? But from the Porsche Media Press information brochure this picture shares some light on your nice discussion. At least it’s clear where the numbers came from.
And this also proves the T is the slowest 911 available so Avid was right: it’s not about the speed
The standard headlamps are not on the middle car. Those are PDLS+. Or maybe I misunderstood you?

Yes, because the little old fella in the factory who’s sole job is to remove decals is back from holiday.
Apparently he went on one of those ridiculously expensive ocean cruises.
He also has a little private business at home selling Porsche decals - makes a fortune👍

I think his post is in jest. Ze German, procedure Jaa(?) was posted by Barkat on the previous page.
here it is the page from the owners manual:
Sadly, many people ignore it, as they will flip the car after a year or two, and they will not live with the consequences.

Are
I will also follow Andreas Preuninger tips, but I have to change them lower since we don’t drive a GT car with 9000rpm:
- first 500km (or 300 miles) not above 5000rpm so I will start with 4000rpm
- every 200km above that you do 500rpm extra
<500km max 4000rpm
<700km max 4500rpm
<900km max 5000rpm
<1100km max 5500rpm
<1300km max 6000rpm
<1500km max 6500rpm
>1500km full redline
So that’s around 900 miles before going full redline.

first 100 miles under 4k
100-200 under 4500
200-300 under 5k
300-400 under 5500
400-600 under 6k
700-800 under 6500
800-900 under 7k
900+ 7200
the break in period for all sports cars has been debated but there’s been no significant evidence or proof for either side of the argument. After all the car is under warranty and i intend to enjoy it and won’t skimp on maintenance.

i intended to be more gentle on the car for the first 1k miles but when i went back to the Porsche dealer that got me the T allocation to install a Sharkwerks exhaust on the 992T, the technicians were saying i drive like a sissy and need to get on it! (They had run an overrev DME report on the 2016 GT4 i traded in and they saw i never banged the car off of the redline so they said i need to stop driving like a wimp😂
So my plan changed and here’s what i did
first 100 miles under 4k
100-200 under 4500
200-300 under 5k
300-400 under 5500
400-600 under 6k
700-800 under 6500
800-900 under 7k
900+ 7200

Quick side question…
Why did my car arrive with 18 miles on the clock??
Same thing happened with my Taycan last year (14 miles)?!
A friend just collected his new Ford pickup with just 3 miles on the clock.
What does Porsche do during those 18 delivery miles, after all the car arrived on the back of a trailer.
Forgot to ask the dealer yesterday

A Ford F150 is made in Missouri I believe, so probably just gets loaded right onto a vehicle carrier.
