You've got me rethinking Ruby again! Are the paint chips in dealerships yet?

It's not metallic, is it?

 

I think this is where I stand. I don't WANT to spend $5000 on Sport Design but I NEED to. I hate Porsche for this lol.

I was at my dealer yesterday and they did not have paint in yet... they didnt even have the marketing brochures for the T or other new models yet... My understanding is Ruby Star Neo is a non-Metallic color... similar to the way PTS Ruby Star is a non metallic... This one just gets a darker "slightly more purple/red tone" instead of hot pink

 

My understanding is the T comes standard with the rear seat delete no matter which front seat configuration you choose, and then provided you didnt opt for LWBS it's still up to you to option adding the rear seats back in. So to me it seems like 4 ways + no rear is "standard" and you shouldnt have an issue.

 

I just got the same call. They said 911s are now on 'Order Stop' for PTS. This is a big curveball for me, I think the T's grey accents look best with a lighter color and I was set on Meissen. Not sure what to do, go with a 'plain' color like silver, or wait until the time comes (if it comes!?!?) where PTS is an option again...

 

If you are in my area I suggest you wait for PTS to become available... seeing I am #2 at my dealer hoping someone bails

 

I am conflicted with regards to PTS availability as well. So far no dealer has told me about the stop sale, even though I have read about it in a few threads on here now. So I am skeptical when the one dealer with a 15k ADM allocation tells me they expect to be able to do PTS and it would just delay arrival of the car. I'm going in to have a face to face discussion with them regarding that before I commit to anything.

With the other dealers without available allocations I have submitted demand orders with PTS, but the talks of such a short production run plus the stop sale does make me wonder what the real order window will be for a PTS T. I would feel a bit silly waiting for PTS and ending up without a car, but I think I would also have some regrets locking in a standard color car now and it turns out PTS would have been available had I waited.

 

I feel your pain adm63! I need to sign my commitment with the dealer today, so this curveball has me scrambling. Ice Grey Metallic could be interesting since its newer and they're featuring it on the GT3 RS. But I'm really conflicted, as I was focused on more unique colors in the blue palette and I think Gentian and a lot of the 'standard' colors are too dark for the T...

 

I feel it's exactly what you'd want with a T. When and if you want music, just turn it up to overcome road noise and it won't distort at higher sounds. I think the notion that you wouldn't want to waste money on a good system since there is more noise (less sound deadening) in the T is the opposite of what is logical.

 

Awesome build, I absolutely love that color exterior. Saw it at the Toronto Auto Show a few years back and it really is incredible. To add to your SportDesign quandary, you should order the SportDesign side skirts too. Did you intentionally leave rear seats off your build? You can add exterior color to interior trim for $0. Might really pop with that interior.

EDIT: then again, maybe not

 

No, it’s far simpler than that:

There are essentially two suspensions types available: PASM and Sport-PASM. Both have active/adaptive damping. The Sport-PASM is 10mm lower than the base PASM with stiffer springs, roll bars and recalibrated dampers.

Both the T and GTS come standard with the 10mm lower Sport-PASM with the difference that the GTS is fitted with the turbo Sport-PASM that is ~25% stiffer than the Carrera-S Sport-PASM fitted to the -T.

 

I think you're right, but do we have confirmation the T has the Carrera S SPASM instead of the GTS lightweight package SPASM setup?

 

The press release specifies that the Carrera-T gets the S-PASM that is optional on Carrera-S.

With the loss of PTS as an option does anyone have ideas on how to take a basic color and add some lipstick? For example, I've considered white with side and rear logo delete and then have gulf blue carrera t logos printed for the side and rear script. This is a pretty inexpensive way to go and easy enough to remove if it grows old. Any thoughts or ideas?

 

Same boat here.... Had same conversation yesterday with my dealer about my PTS order. They were going to double check and confirm this. Was hoping they could do it but am now in the camp that it is not offered based on what I am reading here. Am conflicted on my order now.
