@@scowil456 facts. I want that new ev one

[@danb2145]

Nice car! I understand your reasoning about the gearbox….but the manual is why you choose the T in my opinion….and keep it as light as possible

[@visionsdrop]

Agree 100%. Lightweight. I chose due to the options included plus what I can add on top of it. Still lighter than a pdk equivalent in a diff model.

[@scowil456]

The is his 1st Porsche 911 - aka dream car. When buying your dream car, you should buy it exactly how YOU want it. That sometimes means compromising to suit your personal requirements, regardless of the car’s ideal ethos. I’m super happy for him!

[@visionsdrop]

Thanks so much. Seriously. I was homeless as a kid so this was an emotional thing for me to accomplish.

[@scowil456]

@@visionsdrop You’re welcome. I too had previously only dreamed of being able to one day own a new Porsche, and yesterday managed to place an order for one. This why I completely understand all of your choices and worthy excitement. Enjoy!

[@RB-xv4si]

Great little review. I like all the points you made. I reached out to what seemed like an endless number of Porsche dealers over this last month and was able to find one with an available Carrera GTS allocation. I just made my deposit to secure it and I’m so glad I did because it’s crazy hard to find a GTS allocation anywhere. I learned pretty quickly the waitlist thing is a joke.

[@visionsdrop]

You lucky dog. Love the gts. Curious if it’s going to be all digital instrument cluster. I like mine now cuz of analog rpm.

[@RB-xv4si]

@@visionsdrop yes, it’s a 992, so it will be exactly the same dash layout as your T. I really did not want to go down the 992.2 route with the hybridization being added. One thing I’m a little stuck on is whether to go with full bucket seats/rear seat delete or the 4-ways. Obviously the full buckets with rear delete will be lighter, but I don’t know how much. Although I imagine the bigger benefit is the secure hold and more connected feeling with the car. I do have my eye on the club leather in truffle brown with chalk stitching if I go with the 4-ways.

[@visionsdrop]

@@RB-xv4si I am sooooo happy with the 18 way seats. So comfortable. But be honest with yourself. Are you tracking it? Does it really matter the weight savings. Pick what you think you will use it for. If it’s not a track car then focus on how you would daily it.

[@RB-xv4si]

@@visionsdrop I get what you’re saying. It will be a weekend car for me, so I’m more inclined to see it as a toy than something useful to get me to work every day. But I may change my mind. The 4-way sport seats plus would be a nice compromise between lightweight and luxury. Freeze date is May 15th, so there’s a little time.

[@MrJunior1971]

I'm a big porsche fan...love the lifting spoiler

[@visionsdrop]

🫣 I just put a ducktail on it

[@RubyStarNeo]

The glass is “noise insulated” despite being thinner. It blocks more sound from the outside than the standard glass. I have seen a video sound testing so it is proven true. It means you hear less from the outside so you hear more from the inside. With less sound deadening that means it is intended to let you hear the engine and the drivetrain more. This is partly why everyone says the T is very engaging to drive because of the acoustic by design.

[@qrtrscale]

@porschetribe note there is a currently a service campaign out on the glass

[@visionsdrop]

Yeah it’s a “membrane” coating on it. The lack of insulation paired with the glass makes for a fun ride. I just hate how the glass chips is all

[@refuztosay9454]

Reminds me of my 1st Porsche. I ordered a 944 in guards red in 1984 I was about your age and just as happy! I kept it until 2000 and driving it never got old. I’ve had a Macan, a Cayenne and 2 991s since. Welcome to the family :)

[@visionsdrop]

I appreciate your openness. I am beyond exited.

[@ThePineVideos]

How have the reliability for those years? Are they good to keep beyond the warranty without worried much?

[@johndeyoung6493]

I miss my ‘19 T every day. I have a 992 GTS now and while it’s nice and blistering fast, I liked the 991.2 better. Half the price and the narrow body, pull straps, lightweight glass, all the perf goodies… felt so light and nimble. Best Porsche I’ve ever driven. Enjoy it man. They’re a special spec in my option.

[@visionsdrop]

That’s awesome man. Loved the door straps

[@The_BM]

6:59 Hello fellow T owner! My T is coming in July, I also have owned a 991.2 T and loved it. I specc'ed my car in Gentian Blue Metallic with the manual, the bucket seats and the carbon fiber roof as the main differences to yours. I also chose Guards Red accents for the speedometer and the clock, the fire extinguisher and the red seat belts. :-) Just a little info: Even the manual T has the "Drive Mode" button on the steering wheel. Enjoy your T!

[@visionsdrop]

lol. Yes I know about that selector. I meant to say that button. Congrats on the car. It’s an epic ride. Truly love it

[@scottslagle9785]

Great review. I just finalized my 911T order last week. I, like you, agonized between manual and PDK but chose PDK in the end. This car will live in SW Florida and normal traffic with a manual is a PITA (literally). My vehicle is due to arrive in early August. I can’t wait! Please continue to provide updates on your journey and I’ll share my thoughts on my 911T adventure as well. Cheers!

[@visionsdrop]

Let’s gooooooooo. Congrats man. Fyi. I just requested the APR tune data from APR. They are getting it ready so hopefully down the road it will be available for all us 2024 911 Carrera owners. The prior year tune wouldn’t work. That is if you even care lol. Find me on Instagram @porschtribe. My photographer account is VisionT7 if you want eye candy while you wait lol. Again congrats!!!

[@jackyzhu6381]

Great video! I took delivery of my 911 T in December, very similar spec to yours (Racing yellow with PDK, Bose speakers, sport Design bumpers, yellow seatbelts and white clock trims), my 3rd 911 (had a 991.2 4 GTS and 991.2 GT3), despite being the least powerful 911 I have owned, it doesn't feel that slow at all. These cars are getting so expensive, I paid the same amount of money for this car compared to a brand new 911 4 GTS back in 2019.

[@visionsdrop]

Omg. The standard speakers are horrible. I bet due to no insulation.

[@jimmynguyen2432]

I am on my 2nd T, 991.2 now 992 - both manuals. Nice spec, but the one thing that makes the T is, well, you know....

[@visionsdrop]

Hahaha. Yeah you right. I really liked the options that the T included compared to the base. The extra 10k just made it slightly more appealing then the S. When the tune goes on it should be a baby gts.

[@garthwebb6418]

Congratulations on your first 911. The T is a cool model. Stick/manual, personal preference - they are both great (I prefer stick). Wanted to let you know that the stick does have the drive mode wheel on the steering wheel just like your PDK version. Cheers!

Beautiful car! Your first 911 but definitely not your last. I went from a 997.1 C2S manual, to a 992 base, to a 991.2 C2S manual. I respect that you chose a PDK for the wife, people who tell you otherwise haven’t been married before.

Thank you so much. I’m super happy with them.

[@PQR5CHE]

In 3 days I hit my freeze date for my T. Keep going back and forward between the S wheels and these Spyder RS wheels. The Spyders add almost 10lb of unsprung weight..

[@TheSunTheSea]

You spec’d yours very close to mine! Same color, tach, seat belts, etc. I opted for a manual and the sport front fascia (left the rear original). I’m expecting delivery in the next month! Did you opt for RAS? I decided not to

[@visionsdrop]

How fun man. It’s a blast. Congrats

[@garthwebb6418]

On the Power Button, yes, you are correct! Part of what I love about these cars is that they are infinitely personalizable (not sure that’s a word but you know what I mean). And I agreed with you that I’ve met lots of very nice, down to earth fun and interesting people through the brand. Love my Lexus and Toyota but can’t say that about them. Lastly. Any 911 that you are lucky enough to get an allocation for is a special car. You don’t have to have a GT3 RS to own an amazing 911. Your T is an incredible car! Don’t let anyone discount your 911. To me that’s part of the beauty of it, my C2S is exactly what I wanted for how I want to use it. I don’t need a “race car” and I never will, but I love my S for me.

[@visionsdrop]

@@garthwebb6418 yeah man. I’m head over heels about it. I smile like a goofball driving it by myself. Curious if you know, but how does the small power button work? I thought it was initially changing the rpm and shift points but it almost feels like more boost. It’s like sport plus plus lol

[@garthwebb6418]

Honestly, I don’t know how it works or exactly what it does. My very limited idea is that it’s some kind of short power boost maybe like the Indy cars have the “push to pass” button? Seriously, I don’t know if it’s mechanical or electrical somehow. I like to pop into my dealership from time to time to see new cars and that’s where I might ask a question like that.

[@garthwebb6418]

I’d like to see a video featuring your duck tail. That’s a pretty unique mod that I’ve not seen much. However, I did just run into another T at a track weekend where a guy had put one on and he had some really cool modern Fuchs interpretations as well. His was green. I’d send you picture of it but I don’t know how to do it in here.

[@JuanAdam12]

The whole thing is snobbishness in one way or another-every single spec decision is under the microscope. I deliberated for a variety of reasons about PDK for my 992T; PDK has many advantages. I had zero test experience with the T’s shifter, only with a Carrera S (different and not exciting). In the end, I wasn’t ready to stop driving a manual car and BOY am I glad I went with MT in my T. Fantastic shifter and feel. Easy clutch. More control because you know what gear you’re in. PDK will shift you into higher gears so fast you don’t know where you are anymore-especially when on exciting roads.

Champion Motorsports keeps the warranty

[@CriminalOne]

Owned a GT3RS and agree, too much for reality driving. If you are into bragging rights, buy a cup car and be broke. If you want to drive your car, buy a 911T. That said, the dash is higher than previous generations and the car has wider hips that you'd expect for a base 911. Rear camera is excellent, but plenty of power and the modern dash is very up to date (for once). Wish they added carbon fiber over the interior, but it is ok as spec'd by most in base models.

[@AA-nf2jl]

Hey man, thanks for sharing. Where did you get the fire extinguisher setup? Thanks!
