Do we think the 992.2 base with sport chrono will feel roughly equivalent power wise to the 991.1S? Prices are getting out of control and I'm wondering if a well optioned base at 143k will be "enough" power for daily driving.
I optioned mine at $147k with 19 20 wheels. I think it is a fast car for the street and makes the S superfluous. I was reading that no matter how fast a car is we always want more even when it might make 700+ power. I have a 997.2 which I love but wanted a newer car even though mine is like new but because I am getting older so why wait. I hope I like the newer as much.

I am biased as a 997.2 owner, but I feel it may have been the gold standard for water cooled non-GT 911s.
I got on the waitlist in April 2023 for the 992.2 and the day after announcement my dealer contacted me and I configured that day and it started production yesterday 6/17 from the dealers internal system says 8/5 delivery with range of 7/19 to 8/30. Excited I ordered a base cabriolet in chalk red and black interior new 911 wheels and many many options. I have a 2021 boxster now.
Make sure to ask your dealer to look at their backend it has better info than the myporsche system. They did tell me that usually w new releases they get delayed by 1 to 3 months but this is encouraging that production started already. Good luck to everyone waiting on your new babies!
Note: Added image from dealer system below.
Dealer system with better estimates for delivery and each stage. Make sure to ask dealer for this level of info. Better than the app.
UPDATE: 6/20/2024 —> Production of my car is complete! Just got an email with the update and see it online now. Wow that was fast!
[QUOTE=tnieh;19506361]UPDATE: 6/20/2024 —> Production of my 992.2 Cabrio is complete and it is being shipped to the German port! Just got an email with the update and see it online now. Wow that was fast! I still cant believe it.
FYI, Step 3 equals V250 (Fixed) status which is the “hard freeze.” No changes can be made once a build hits V250. At Step 2 changes can still be made.
I just want to triple confirm this is accurate? I got moved to Step 2 yesterday and my dealer never mentioned the freeze date so I was surprised (mostly pleasantly surprised). I need to make one small change and wondering if at stage 2:
A) changes are still possible despite "freeze" date being reached
B) will changes cause delays

Step 3 = “FIXED” “V250” which equals the hard freeze. No changes can be made once Step 3 is reached. A VIN is also assigned to the build at Step 3.
Yes, changes can be made during step two. I have done so myself. Act fast though!
It all depends what you plan to change? Something small, you won’t see any delay. Something that is related to Exclusive Manufaktur might get your build delayed. It’s really a game of Russian roulette.

Thanks only thing I want to change is speccing a glass sunroof - hopefully that's not a big deal
That should not delay your build given the modular roof design (see attachment).
Just a friendly FYI, but you are aware of the wind buffeting issues with the 992 sunroofs, correct?
Do you mean when the sunroof is tilted up? If so, that's actually why I want to switch to the glass because I intend to always keep the roof closed but want more light in at night
At first I didn't want the black contrast roof but now I prefer the flexibility (no pun intended) of the glassroof.
