If anything, high performance dual-clutch gearboxes like the PDK have an edge in terms of customer perception.
It was the most difficult decision in my configuration -- PDK vs. Manual.
At the end, because I want to use the car as a daily, the convenience and higher reliability of the PDK won.

In Europe most people learn how to drive on manual cars and have used manual cars for most of their lives, so driving a manual doesn't have the same "special aura" as in the US.

Absolutely!...this is kind of a big deal. All I really wanted was a base Carrera. Since the manual wasn't obtainable in a base car, I had placed an order for an S specifically for the manual transmission. Luckily, the T came along and I was able to snag an allocation shortly after I swapped my order.

1, Not everybody wants a manual - even in a Porsche - even if they know how to drive a manual. I've had 4 cars with manuals, and really don't want another one. MY T will be mostly a daily driver and not a weekend car - I want a car I can live with in most weather and traffic conditions.
2. For some (like me) I could get a T, but not a C2.
3. I can neither afford, nor do I have an interest in an S
4. I like the idea of getting RAS
5. Option your car however YOU want it. Accept that others don't want the same thing out of THEIR Porsche as you want in yours. They have to live with their configuration choices in THEIR Porsche, not you.

Unlike the base and lighter weight

Lousy weather, so after driving it for 400 km, the solution was to get a rinseless wash in the garage.
Not really a photo shoot, only a few snaps of a few details. I hope you like it.
911 Carrera T badges.
Firing it up in the closed garage is an awesome feeling.
The Carrera S wheels look amazing in Titan Grey.
I love the contrasting bits of the Carrera T against the GT Silver.

Exhaust button, and a configurable one.
PDK was my choice at the end.
Sport Chrono clock.
First 400km done. It was impossible to keep below 4K rpm.

@Macboy if our fellow rennlisters cannot read and/or follow simple directions to keep this thread ONLY for photos of delivered T’s, I’m going to ask for this to be folded into the main T discussion thread.
