So I've been part of T club just recently... love the car but not as enamored with black.. lizard green stitching kind of cool..
But then I bumped into this .. should be here in a week or 2..
I thought there weren't any NA PTS cars delivered.. only in Europe.
saw one 2 weeks ago driving in Connecticut, wonder if he’s on here
PTS is definitely rare for a T in NA but there are a handful floating around. If you read this whole thread you will see a few. I know of a lighter green, Oslo blue and a south sea blue. I’m sure there a few more as well.
I have followed this closely and been in touch with my contacts in Germany. Fewer than ten PTS 992 Carrera T's made it to North America. They are incredibly rare. And I have only been able to locate two that have both PTS and the 918 bucket seats. #Unobtanium

Just joined you all on Thursday, when a shiny Plycar car transporter delivered my new daily driver. I went with a fairly basic build, with options mainly limited to upgraded interior, extended range fuel tank, rear axle steering, LED-matrix lights and Bose stereo. Feeling lucky to have it join the 992 GT3 in my garage. I've only put 20 miles on the Carrera T so far, but a few things stand out already:
I was expecting the T to be very quiet compared to the GT3, but it's actually pleasantly growly with the sport exhaust active. I'm sure the T's reduction in sound insulation helps bring in engine and exhaust noise. I think it will strike a good balance of sounding sporty without being over the top for daily use.
The clutch and shifter are fantastic. Maybe not quite the level of perfection of my former 981 GT4, but pretty close. So happy to have a manual Porsche again.
I chose the standard 4-way sport seats in the T, and they're much better suited for everyday use than the carbon buckets in the GT3. Adjustability is good--they can sit so low that this is the first car I won't use with the seats in the lowest position.
Visibility out of the car is fantastic, much better than other sports cars on the market, and it's nice to not have a huge wing in the rear-view mirror in a daily driver.
It feels very agile without being nervous or darty. It's probably a combination of suspension components, alignment and tires that make the T feel so well-suited to road use. Definitely more road friendly than the GT3, which is amazing on track, but can feel a bit darty and edgy on anything other than perfect pavement. It's obviously very early in my time with the car, but it seems Porsche did a great job in tuning the T for spirited road use and everyday livability.
Some people have complained that the 992 has grown too big, but compared to most other cars on the road, the T still feels very light and relatively small. It feels very maneuverable due to low mass and inertia, and yet it still manages to feel very solid as if the car is made out of a single block of material. Amazing.
Really looking forward to getting to know this car more and more. Next step--looking for a summer wheel/tire setup since I'll put winters on the OEM wheels.
Congrats!! How do you like the Bose system in the car? I upgraded to the Bose but have not heard people talk too much about it...

Bro. If I were to call the stock stereo terrible, that would be a compliment. I went with the Bose this time and it’s leaps better although still not amazing.

Even the Burmester bass is lacking…given $s they want. U just need to add some solid bass to the stock or bose system. Don’t need louder. Mix that with sweet engine sounds and exhaust roars (get just right exhaust pipe diameter, paths, etc.)…perfect blend of sounds…
