You’ve summed up perfectly where I’m at as well. Gonna take some time to find the right system and will want a demo if poss before buying.
I reckon I would have been happy with the Bose, had it on my Taycan and it was good enough.
Spending more than 1500 isn’t necessary IMO
Definitely share what you find out if you decide to upgrade. I'd love to learn about some plug and play options without needing to run wires etc...
Are PDK’s legal?
I thought they were prohibited on the T?
Re Bose, they do seem to be back in the config with a lovely 35% price hike!!
Why wouldn't they be?
The whole car has increased in price like 9k EUR over here. I waited for the BOSE to come back in order to avoid ordering it with the pricey Burmester, but now the car with BOSE is more expensive than my initial configuration with the Burmester...
The new Transformers movie tix go on sale today at my local theater. Going so I can see the 911 (964) Carrera RS on the big screen. Ha, I’m turning into a Porsha freak…and it feels so right. Can’t wait to start attending some PCA events.
The destination is important in your question. I have a car scheduled to leave Emden on the 12th. I assume it’s on the Siem Confucius. It’s destined for Baltimore and probably a few other east coast stops.
Confucius is hitting all the east coast ports. Unfortunately, it’s still at anchor outside of Emden and it was supposed to be at the Emden port on 5/6. Either there’s a labor/schedule issue at the port or there’s a mechanical issue with the ship. Methinks this is why our cars are delayed.

yes, agree. although not sure who all are in my same situation with US gulf port of entry. My destination is Houston
Question for those who know: Why does the 6spd feel so much better than the 7spd? Is it the linkage or the transmission? I'm thinking it's the linkage but I don't know for sure. Maybe it has to do with the 7th gear lockout function.
When the 7spd was introduced in 2012, Porsche based that gearbox off of their PDK at the time and The 6spd was built from the ground up... Now in the 992 generation, I believe that the 6spd and 7spd are essentially the "same" transmission, but you are correct that the 6spd has different linkages and a more traditional pattern that make a smoother slightly more enjoyable feel. The nature of the 7th gear changes the pattern and therefor the linkages changed. I have driven both, and I think the 6-speed feels more "traditional" but at the end of the day we are getting to row our own gears in a brand new 911... I'm not going to complain! 22 days and counting for me!!
Who here is going to track their T? And what % of your usage will be track versus street?
Tracking it was a big motivator for ordering. I have a couple tracks within 1-1.5 hours from me. I'll likely only do two or three events a year because it gets expensive fast and it doesn't need to be on a track to be enjoyed.

I bought this car/setup specifically because I wanted to get back on track in a Manual vs. the PDK 992 I had before. I will likely get about 8-10 track days in each season, but hope to do more if time allows. The T is not my daily, but in the summer I will use it 50% of the time and put it away in winter. I'm guessing street vs. track though is 75% street and 25% track. Reason for going with this setup vs something else was 50/50 though on street/track plans
