Anyone for ‘T’

[ags11]

Yeah with the that spec it's ok. When it starts getting over 90k the justification unravels a bit.
I'm really enjoying mine, I'm driving it more than I did the GT4.

So just a quick update on my previous question about new cars being available (and I truly have no agenda...a colleague new to Porsche is buying a T) there do seem to be a few un registered cars out there within some of the big dealer groups like Sytner and Jardine. Jardine has the best selection but only two manuals (as opposed to more idk cars) ,both manuals are white. My pal has deposited on the highest spec of the two, big spec car listing to exactly 100k!

One other thing, and I am out of the loop now, but the salesman intimated to him that a sept registration might be possible?! I'm sure he has that wrong given what we know but if that does by chance play out I'll let you all know. Cheers.

Drivenation (quite a good thing on Instagram...Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel) is raving about the T today

describes it as not just the bargain of the range, but of its class..

Nice. not collected mine yet as life has got in the way but will post up some photos in a few weeks

There's a white unregistered PDK car in Kendal which they say can be September reg. I believe it's come from another centre.

Uff, I love following this thread and I love the idea of the T, the thing that spoils it for me though is that they should have released it for the 991.1, then it would have easily been the pick of the range for road use by a country mile, GT3 included. Now, if I had to suffer a turbo engine (I know I know) I'd just get a manual GTS and be done with it.

Mario149 - haven't you got a 997 manual GTS? I do prefer the T to my old 997 GTS but it was pdk and 4 wheel drive. Has anyone done a T vs 991.2 GTS review?

Manual 997 GTS made way for a Manual R8 V10. 4 seats became useless once we had our second daughter at the end of last year which kinda removed one of its main USPs for me. So if I wasn't going to drive the car much, I thought I might as well open my options up. Combined with the fact that I was well aware I had basically bought at just before "peak GTS" prices, I figured having enjoyed it for a few K miles I would bang out recoup pretty much all my money and try something else. Always had a hankering for an R8 V10 which was the perfect storm for me when you add the fact that they're quite undervalued IMO. Also helped that I managed to find one in something other than black, silver or blue

Sure I'll be back in a 911 in the future, prob when the girls are a bit older and I can take them out in it.

ETA: I had a weekend in a manual Carrera back in Nov, was every bit as fast as my 997 GTS. That base engine is more than enough for loads of fun.

Nice one at Top555.

Looks like there will be some press coverage of Litchfield's tuning product for the 991.2

https://twitter.com/trent_dan/status/1042674835103...

For the T it apparently produces the following...circa 20% more bhp.

Carrera and Carrera T Litchfield Remap 454 bhp (460 PS) 400 lbft (542 Nm)

20% more bhp than a remap for the base model? how is this possible ?

Same engine in the Base and T - it means they both have 20% more BHP than Porsche give you.

[PS2018]

Sorry to ask a previously asked question in a different way but I would be interested to know what the difference in the 7th gear ratio is between a T and a standard 991.2 Carrera 2 ?
(assuming all cars specified with manual boxes)
Can’t find this technical info on the Porsche website

I would see if you can arrange test drives of both a T and an S back to back at the same dealership. That will help.
You looking for manual or PDK?

[av185]

Many are badly/over specced cars which largely negate the whole ethos of the T of which simplicity and weight saving are the whole point.

Greater than the sum of their parts despite many armchair experts claiming otherwise.

Rarer and more special than the C2S the T will hold its value far better too.

Overall a great package.

Hi here at, I’m not sure about the value thing - yes if speced as you say , less so if the spec was heavy and took the car into the mid 90’s / early 100’s - I think this is why there are quite a few for sale; these cars have been around for ages - not a great sign considering you can’t currently buy a new 911 . But as you say, a nice thing to own either way

I agree to a point re holding it's value. It will - once it drops to a level where it starts to look 'value'.. and I think that is at 70-75k for a used car. It needs to be a good 25% cheaper than a GTS. Similar-ish price to a C2S. And it's worthy of a few more grand than a C2. Once it finds it's feet it'll be a desirable 911. The Porsche Used Car Locator seems to agree - at >£80k not many people are thinking they are...value.

Yep just had another browse , 29 for sale (if you tick the right boxes the number rises) and interestingly they are now starting to reduce in price to mid 80’s - one car I was watching has gone from £k92 to £k86 over a couple of months - starting to look like better value.
