Looks amazing with that factory "undelete delete" side decal too! Thanks for the recap.

Agreed. IMO the T sounds better!

I had a manual 500-ish HP 991.2T and @wilmaya still has his today. Incredibly fun with that extra power, and feels plenty fast for street driving. The plan has always been to tune this 992T to around the same number

This is my first Porsche and I was desperate to do European Delivery as it might be my last. I got my Leipzig delivery date on 3/13 - the day my car finished production (I had tried to get a July ED date back in Feb but no dice!). If the August ED dates at Leipzig had been released one day later I'd probably be picking my car up at my dealer in another week or so. I had lost hope for European Delivery while my car was in production but while I may have lost the tire lottery, I won the Leipzig delivery lottery.
That's encouraging to hear! I still don't have yes or no on a possible Leipzig delivery in October and my build should start Friday. I have all the same motivations as you (along with sacrificing a summer and fall of driving) in securing ED.

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've put nearly 600 miles on my T in the last 3 days and haven't come close to scraping the front end (SD Front Fascia). I pulled in to the steepest local spot today, carefully and on an angle and not so much as a light scrape. The front end is actually higher on the T than it was on my BMW 650 GC so I'm used to driving with a low front end.

You should move back to London - Ironically we've had a rare summery day in London today

I mostly agree, PDK and MT is a different experience, and amplified by 65 PS is for me vastly different experience.

We all have a different point of reference. For me, a starting point is a Boxster with MT and 300 PS on tap… it is an awesome car, but the cabin is too small for me, the Mrs and two small German shredders (aka. Schnauzers).

The 992 Carrera T with 7MT feels faster and more technical (difficult) on the track than mid-engined Boxster. I really like it and I am pleased with my selection.

The 992 Carrera S with 7MT feels wickedly fast on the track, in comparison to my very well behaved Boxster. If I bought C2S I would probably go PDK, even though as Shane noted it feels a little lazy, as it is optimised for efficiency and economy.

I am delighted with the 992 T, and I don’t need nor want 500PS conversion, but the question was how does T compare with an S, and having driven both, those are my observations.

Well, it depends what you drive on daily basis.

992 T feels modestly more powerful than my Boxster… I guess their respective power to weight ratio is closer.
992 S feels vastly more powerful than my Boxster… and by extrapolation to 992 T.

3 months is not an issue, if my daily driving baseline is the same.

I still believe that 992 T is an awesome car, but the question was how they compare and the power diff needs to be acknowledged. I don’t personally need it, today, but I can see I will be drawn towards it in 2 years time :-)

@ECNJ That's a good question. I should have checked after the sunshine to see if the scratch has disappeared a little.
But I'll take up your suggestion of using a heat gun or hairdryer to see if that works on the PPF

So looking forward to seeing your T come together. You will have the best looking T and best looking GR 992 on these forums!
