Same, hoping to get on the Conductor to Baltimore. Fingers crossed we make it.

Are you going to paint/install the aero yourself?

probably because it doesn’t kick in until high speed turning. I don’t think it does anything between 20-60 mph. I wonder how much it would decrease a lap time? My guess is minimal but since I’m not tracking mine its a no for me. Easy decision. I applied the money I saved not getting RWS to the very essential leather/ painted hardback seats.

The install looks pretty straightforward and I’ll be doing it but having a pro paint it. Was considering buying a cheap paint gun though. I could easily be talked into painting it. Worse case I guess someone would have to fix my botched job. Anyone here ever paint their own car? …..not with a brush.

I went wild on the red. Dials, stitching, interior trim, belts, leather shells with red centers. Topped it off with the fire extinguisher. Of course the outside of the car too. I always wanted a red 911 and I got all the red they would give me

Hope you have it done prior to September meet-up. For selfish reasons of course, so I can get a breakdown of your experience haha

My main regret on my T was adding back the rear seats. I think the rear seat delete was a special option and I kick myself a bit for trying to be pragmatic and adding it back in. That being said, Ive used the rear seats a few times to go out with friends and it really is great to be able to share the T with more than 1 person at a time.

Besides that, I would have liked to add a bit more color to the interior. I have matching shark blue belts but I think blue stitching would have added more color to my view while driving. I’m considering eventually swapping out the gloss black in the dash for brushed aluminum.

Well the Carrera T is supposed to be an instant classic and collectible vs the S and GTS. You could probably just get on the list and then straight trade when you get your allocation.

I know what some of you are thinking. Yes, my build did have decal delete and yes the factory obliged even though my build was in early May. I was hoping, like many of you, that they just disregarded my choice, but that wasn’t the case. I may have to spend money to add it!

For those speccing your T, you may want to keep the decal. You can always decide to remove it later.

I’m a been thinking about adding black stone guards. Thoughts?

See you guys 9/10 at Bear Mountain!

Mine’s a bit more benevolent. Just driving my T all long weekend. Man, did I miss that feel when the clutch bites then pedal to the metal!

My T is low emissions right? Interesting how clean the exhaust pipes are when washing it.
