That’s what I’m waiting for...manual Carrera.

I enjoyed the video, I wasn’t expecting to!

Not that I can afford a new 911 but, if I could, that would be my choice. Working hard to be able to still buy one while they're ICE only (even if it is a turbo one...).

That Nick guy is fun but sooo long winded...

The manual also includes the sports chrono option.

I had a 992S PDK and really didn't like the PDK shifter..It i got another one it would 100% be a Manual Coupoe in Guards Red preferably with Black Bucket seats.

You can only get manual in Carrera S. not Carrera.

Maybe a Carrera T Manual on the way?

992 still too big....so that’s why I am looking for 991 Carrera T manual.

My 991 Carrera T might be for sale. GT Silver, manual, light weight glass. 3,700 miles. PM me if you would like more details.

configurator has changed in last day or so. Originally wouldn’t let you choose SC with manual, now it’s included.

Am I alone in just wanting a 'simple' 911?

I looked at the configurator and couldn't figure out why the manual gearbox wasn't selectable on the Carrera. Then I thought WCPG (Where Can Porsche Gouge) and went to the Carrera S to find my answer.

Expensive that manual - an £11.5k option.

Hopefully they'll produce a Carrera T and I'm sure the extensive weight reduction programme of around 2kg they'll give to the model will be rewarded in the drive.

I thought about it briefly and looked at the options / specced one.... then I realized I’d probably rather have a 997 C2S

I thought you already contacted me?...or was that someone else?

Don't think so. I did have a pm as a result of this post - presumably not you?

No sir! You are most certainly not.

I would be more than happy with a "base" model 991.1 or 991.2 or 992 with a manual, but it's undeniable that loads more S models were sold than the base (interesting to know the proportion - maybe 90/10?)

I guess I am probably alone in lamenting the lack of a narrow body version of the 992 shape too?

It was ever thus....in the last 18 months of 991.2 production you could order a GTS much easier than an S.

Not sure if I wanted a simple 911 I’d be buying a 992 at all though. Especially right now....there are plenty of much cheaper 991.1’s and .2;s around....or even 997.2.

[Koln-RS]

Completely agree with the sentiment about the 992’s size.
I think much of the affection for the ‘aircooled’ 911s is due to their compact size, so perfectly suited for many of our roads.
And none of the ‘wide body’ variants of previous models made for better cars.

Doubtless there will be a 992T, but it will need to be a bit more thoroughly considered than the 991T, which won’t be easy without a narrow-body option.

[SpyderT]

Really not a fan of the 992 size either. I wish they would bring back the 912 (so not to tread on 911 toes) keeping the smaller size with a smaller engine that you could actually rev out without breaking the speed limit. That would be great... can but dream.
