F8T and 911T

sorry, it's hard to ask questions on this forum without suffering the hatred and insults from members but my curiosity forces me to ask anyway... I have a 2023 911 Carrera T. It's PDK automatic and it's turbo (twin, I think). With that information, can you tell me if I have a 991.1, 991.2, 992.1 or 992.2... I thought I knew but after reading some other threads, now I'm not sure which I have... and lastly, do those numbers mean anything? Are they the size of something?

You have a 992.1.

thank you.... but why? how can you tell and what do the numbers mean?

When I introduced myself when I joined the site, I said how I know nothing about Porsches and am here to learn. But I literally knew nothing other than it's German and owned by VW Group. I'm liking the car mostly and it's been kinda fun to learn about one of the few cars I know nothing about. Thanks again.

I thought you sold cars for a living. Did you try doing some research?

First of all, you can rest assured that your car does indeed have two turbochargers.

The .1 in the model designation is the first edition of that generation of 911, while the .2 model is the "mid-cycle refresh" where certain things are changed/upgraded but the general design is mostly the same. There's no direct relationship between generation of car and size, but 911s have tended to get bigger as new ones have come out.

It’s not hatred or insults more than it is the group consensus is that you’re trolling. It’s hard to believe that someone who has owned (…or who owns) some truly fine automobiles doesn’t know the basic configuration of their 992 T or who inquires about some of the things you do. Even the maroney sticker on your car says “twin turbocharged”. Then you come to the 992 forum and see cars of the same model year that look exactly like yours, yet you ask if you have a 991 or a 992? Clearly you can understand why you aren’t taken seriously at all.

If you truly don't know Porsche 911 history, here is an article from TopGear that should get you initiated in the world of the 911 and all of the generations thus far:

no I can’t understand AT ALL… how is it so weird that I don’t know Porsche? I just never liked them before so of course, I never read anything, paid any attention to them at events, driven one, sat in one etc… I knew nothing… now I know just above nothing…. It’s the strangest thing ever that on this forum, some of you tell me to research myself when that’s exactly what I’m doing by asking you guys on a Porsche forum! No one treats people like this on other forums. I go out of my way to help others on Ferrari forums etc and that’s the fun in it. You guys get offended for some twisted reason. And to me, they all look the same or close to where I can’t tell a .1 from a .2 or whatever. You guys are making new ownership and new interest an awful experience… I am liking the car but the more I come on this forum, the less I’m enjoying ownership.

and being in the business doesn’t equate to me knowing Porsches as suggested above. Just because I’m in the business, why would that mean I should already know Porsche? I’ve been a GM, GSM and finance director and that has nothing to do with being an enthusiast of a brand.

and lastly, I never meant to mention my other cars etc… it was ONLY when I was confronted and told my opinions of the Porsche so far was wrong and I must know nothing about cars or how to drive so I used real life to defend is all. I mention them and then it upsets some of the kids here— it’s just a gross example of the Porsche owners mentality but I’ll look past it knowing it’s not all Porsche owners.

thanks to the couple guys that answered me and helped. Appreciated

I think the issue is the nature of your questions. Some basic Google- foo would get you answers in short order because the questions are very basic in nature. They are not questions that don’t really require an opinion or personal experience rather factual.

still, do you. If you want to ask or contribute here it’s a public forum so do so but thicken your skin.

alaris

I think it’s more that you didn’t even make the effort to look on Wikipedia which would have answered your question.

Not to mention that you’re posting in the 992 forum

Troll. He has been annoying folks in the T forum.

People are giving you a hard time because in the time it takes someone to respond to your basic question here, you could have found the information yourself on Google. Probably in less time.

Your question is akin to "I want this model Porsche what is the sticker price" or something best answered by trivial research. Use the forum for things you can't find as the first result on Google or in a cursory read of the manual.

why would I use Wikipedia lol??? This IS A CAR FORUM… it’s what it’s for… if I wanted to learn quietly without interaction, I’d sit and google etc but we are in a car forum to discuss and learn and share. K, I’m tired of explaining why we are here.

and I’m on a 992 forum because when I posted in the 911 forum, they said to come here. Sigh. Not worth my effort to point out the obvious any further
