Are you guys keeping the carrera T stickers on the sides of the car or removing?
Delete, think of the weight savings - true to the T's core concept lol
I agree with the 911 rear badge and delete with the "if you know, you know" mentality. The grey mirror caps will be a tell tale sign to the real enthusiast and to everyone else it'll just be another 911
Cool, but just curious... Why did you land on the T vs. Base 911?
Looks like you are going PDK, Adding Rear Seats back in, bigger fuel tank etc... Did you play around with numbers to see if you could get a build out of a Base Carrera at a lower price point but ticked all the boxes you wanted? Or are there other things about the T you liked?
Bigger fuel tank comes in clutch during track days or long road trips. I suspect it's like the 718 where it's the same tank and the standard tank just has a baffle inside to limit capacity so if you wanted, just don't fill all the way up and it's just like the standard tank and you have the option for extra capacity when you need it

This is good to know... I figured they increased the size, so nice to know the physical tank may not actually increase weight... I always run out of gas on track days and curse those damn track side pumps for making me pay $9/gallon in a pinch... although I guess to those on the west coast this may not be far off from what you actually pay

Thanks for checking it out
Must haves for me was PTV and RAS which are not available on base 911 although if push comes to shove, I would get a base and be happy still. I also think that T is a more 'special' or unique model. I prefer to get bordeaux interior which if going for Base is a plus, but would still lack PTV/RAS.
Agreed, for me biggest draw of the T over the base is getting the locking diff and PTV plus RAS with the rest of the sport package goodies. Manual option is great too but I haven't ruled out PDK myself, from what I've experienced it's a very impressive transmission especially on track. The shop I take my C63 to posted an IG story of them replacing the braun pdk shifter with the nicer one from the GT3 so that's an option I've had in the back of my head.

Very interesting! I was not going to get the lager tank for fear of increasing weight slightly, but if the tank is the same but with larger capacity, then it's a no-brainer! Very interesting.
As for decals and lettering, on my CGTS 4.0 I was unsure about the GTS 4.0 on the doors so I ordered it without, had the entire car PPF and then decided the doors were too plain and put OEM decals on over the PPF. In the end, I would have preferred factory decals and PPF over it for ease of cleaning. And being that it's a somewhat limited car, the 4.0, it's nice to give the shout out for the casual car show spectators. It really helps them. lol.
I'm always a rear bumper emblem delete kinda guy. I like the clean look and REALLY like to be able to clean the bumper dust easily. And again, I knew I was PPF'ing the entire car so they were going to come off anyway. The same will be true for my 911T.

I absolutely love my current PDK 992.. the launch control, incredible 0-60 times and its performance on track are insane... but having said that, I have really missed the manual experience and have finally realized that on track I would have more fun being challenged a bit more and overall lap times just arent quite as important to me at the moment..... plus the added benefit of more involved back road driving of course
Yea! Im just going to stick with black interior and do the Yellow Belts (Maybe the yellow Chrono dial)... but not sold on the color dial.
I think even just the yellow belts on a black interior and Ruby exterior will really pop but not be overwhelming
Brave choice, but IMHO I would be careful mixing ruby red with yellow, it does not really match as ruby is more of a raspberry shade, and thus will likely be harder to sell on resale.
Do you think 18 way seats are a must? How decent lumbar support is standard sports seats plus do you know?
Also FALS? With 10mm lowered, is it really needed.
In the majority of cases I think you do not need FALS on these cars... The 911 has plenty of ground clearance in my opinion. I live in Boston, terrible roads, but Ive never found a need or want for this. I did used to live in CA and I know that a lot of driveways and places of business have steep angle entrances etc so I could see it being really valuable if you know you have to deal with that.
If you are at all concerned with lumbar support or comfort adjustment, Then option the 18-way seats... this is a tough one to provide guidance on though... you really need to go sit in them and let your butt/back decide. I am a thin guy with no back issues, so I could live with non-adjustable seats... but thats just me.
