What's the consensus on FAL with the SPASM ride height and the standard front bumper?
I don't ever buy cars for the next guy, but it's one of those things if you need it you'll be glad you had it. I'm just trying not to over-spec a T and it's difficult to not go wild.

I guess it depends on where you live as to whether or not you need the FAL.
I live in an area with BIG speed bumps. I needed FAL on my Taycan and the T is a fair bit lower, so I’d be scraping everywhere without FAL on my T!!
For me it’s a must have no brainer!!
I have driven both. S definitely has more power but I would never describe it as vastly more power. I think 3 months apart is not a great way to do a proper comparison.
I agree! I have gone from Carrera 4 GTS into my T and being completely honest I can hardly tell for everything day to day! I’m still behaving in the main though, but I very much doubt my opinion will change! I’m 100% certain that MT is a country mile more fun though; don’t get me wrong I loved my PDK but it was all just a bit too lazy and I feel like I have enhanced my enjoyment by reverting to MT.
...have gone from Carrera 4 GTS into my T and being completely honest I can hardly tell for everything day to day...
That's encouraging to hear. After 8.000km with my 992 GTS I realized I just don't need that much power and I am looking for an allocation for a 992T, hopefully I should get a definitive answer in the coming couple of weeks.
I love the look of the GTS but no way I can enjoy its performances on public roads and after the first "mild" track day back in March, I decided to rent a GT4 Clubsport instead of properly set up my GTS (Girodisc, Pad2 brakes, Pirelli Trofeo R etc...)
The price difference between the 992 GTS and the 992T will be enough to cover my track days and I should still be able to enjoy a sport car on a daily basis
Carrera S vs T: I only had a brief stint in the 992 S, will try to get one while doing my PEC at Hockenheim, but I have more experience with a 991.2 S PDK cabrio and I can say that it's not much faster than the T. The torque wave is much more pregnant in the S, the lag too. I like the engine character more in the T, much closer to a "normally aspirated" feel. And surprisingly "revvy". Sounds better too.
Has a T enough power: For me, the T proves to be the right choice and mix - usable power, nice engine character, plenty of noise inside (the good kind), some "exclusivity" too. And, I already have a bonkers chariot at home, if I want to scare me ****less.
Might not be enough for those "US highway pulls" though
Is it quick?: At Hockenheim, it's within 0.7s to a 718 GT4 manual on Cup2s. Over 1s quicker than a 718 GTS 4.0 on the same PZeros.
Quick enough.
Regarding PPF: it saved my car a couple of times before, it's not 100% proof against stone chips but it helps. Also, makes washing the car pretty "painless" and you don't need much to clean it. No worries about "swirls" too.
"Ceramic" coating gives some shine and some protection against dust, but nothing else.
Pictures: it's getting the PPF at the moment, but I got some just before leaving it behind.
Also, why GT silver for me: after two blue cars, I need to move on to another easy color. The car is actually VERY dirty, it rained on the way there and still, it's not that bad looking. The blue or black would be looking awfully dirty and spotted.
With the factory "undelete delete Carrera T side decal" option The silver GT in German weather. It's almost "steel grey". And...dat ***. Scrumptious.
