I hated having the normal glass in the C2 - you could feel the extra mass on turn in. The T felt sharper and quicker, primarily due to the thin glass.

LOLOL

I find the Litchfield car pretty interesting. Agree with those stating that the geometry changes are more appealing than the power increase, but it's cool that you can get that much power with just a re-map.
Definitely curious as to the long-term reliability of the 9A2, both modified and un-modified. I don't intend on keeping my 991.2 longer than another year from now, but having already put over 17 hours of track time on it, I wonder how it will hold up for its future owners.

agreed. it's high up weight so makes a big difference to the center of gravity in the car, same with the door pulleys

By the time you’ve bought the car and specked it up - ok mine has PCCB brakes and PDK it was £103k so I see this as a great value kit. It always makes me laughing when I read £85k fir the car - this particular car (their car has £3.5k seats and and and - mine has not.

there's a few people who spec'd theirs over £110k which imo is a bit steep for a 360bhp car

i think this could be the perfect daily and in 2019 when early T's are changing hands for £60-ish - what a great option.

Trying a 911S manual at the moment and vastly better car than I thought it was and I've owned 997, 991 Gt3s previously.

I've also dealt with Litchfield a few times. I rate them so highly my tuned GTR goes all the way from Edinburgh to their garage for servicing. They are a superb outfit from my dealing with them, and if you ever get the chance to see round the facility do! There were a couple of mad GTRs being prepped for the ring along with the Alpine.

Cant be bothered with Porsche Dealers trying to make me jump through hoops for things, and Litchfield put a 12 month warranty on the car - I'm hoping it will be a great daily and epic Euro trip car for the Ring & Spa etc.

Hoping to see it when my GTR is next down there for servicing.

Has anyone done this to their T? It seems like money well spent when you consider the trade bids if you wanted to change.

Buy a GTS and keep a warranty running? Fat ass and centre lock wheels though. LOL
