Had a modified one for about a week with a loud ass burbling exhaust, it was magnificent. Turned me into a Porsche lover. Driven Lambos, Ferraris, astons, AMGs McLarens etc. Nothing made me fall in love as much as the prosche. And the livability was surprising!

KZbin is lethal. Started watching videos late last year of the 2023 Supra 6MT now one parks in my garage... Now a Carrera T...I don't need it... gonna keep telling myself I don't need it.

[@EverettLHill]

Miles, well done. Great to see a brother in this game. My 992 Carerra S spec is similar to this T (except mine is a manual) and after a year of ownership I couldn’t be more in love with the car.

[@robertbishopp4614]

Nice review Miles and thanks for the originality in your comments. At the age of 15 I was blown away by the look and the sound of the tangerine coloured 911 I saw in London when these cars were rare beasts. After a wait of 50 years (9 months to get an allocation and 49.25 years saving-up) I took delivery of mine last month but I'm still waiting for a sunny day to give it a proper blast. Love the photography in your piece - keep up the good work!

[@CarswithMiles]

Thank you! Enjoy the 911!!

[@glennhavinoviski8128]

Great review, Miles. I love my T. One comment I have is the manual transmission really creates a different and wonderful experience (and you can't get the manual on the base Carrera, nor do you get the PTV and limited slip, both of which are standard on the T). You also save 70-80 lbs of weight. It creates the "slowest" 992 but you would never know it if you don't care about launch control or track speed. I don't have rear-axle-steer, and I can't imagine the car being any better handling than it is. Get BOSE for your sound system, the car is a nicer daily environment than you might initially think, and you will notice the sound system except under heavy back road driving when the engine is the main thing you care about.

[@TheSunTheSea]

My build freeze date is coming up and the rear axle steering is the one option I keep ticking on and off. I’m really on the fence about it. My reasons against it is that it’ll take away from the “pure” experience and feel artificial. But I’ve never driven a 911 so I don’t know if that’s true. Glad to see you love your T despite not having RAS.

[@kerosenefilms]

How much harsher than the base 911 do you find the ride?

[@risley1313]

Hi Miles, This video you have done of the Carrera T is by far the best one on KZbin. Thanks. My T that just arrived yesterday on the boat is almost identical to this one you tested.

[@CarswithMiles]

Thank you! You're gonna love your T!

[@christophergraves2300]

I have owned a 911 T for almost a year now and literally have never turned the stereo on. Putting the manetino in Sport Plus opens up the exhaust, and with the sound deadening reduced, its a symphony that makes me smile no matter how long the trip. Coupled with the auto-throttle blip on downshifts, this car doesn't need a stereo system, IMHO.

[@55onesean38]

Great video with some original and well-thought out observations. Nice to to hear something new other than the constantly recycled comments about not being able to see the two outermost gauges behind the steering wheel. New subscriber here with a 2023 Manual T, and enjoying going through some of your previous videos.

[@tobysbreathisverybad]

Great review! 991.2 T owner here after owning a 997.2 C4S. Love the T! Two quick thoughts: 1) manual > PDK if maximizing on fun 2) yes the stereo blows but you should never have it on. Listen to the car and keep the stereo off at all times. Seriously.

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

As fate gray is the color of the wheels and side mirrors and badging. The ultra top stereo is a Burmeister not the Wilkins we garner. The main point of the T is that it does have a manual transmission - while the base 911 is PDK only.

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

Agate gray -

[@ericrichter7451]

GTS is much different than a T. The suspension on the GTS is made for the track, kind of uncomfortable on the road, unless it’s perfect. I have a 24 Carrera T, 7 speed. Super happy with the car.

[@owenstang4665]

Congrats! I also just bought a 2024 carrera T. It's actually my second order, my first order is also with 7-speed manaul transmission, but only after 30mins I decided to go with a pdk 🤣 since I might still use this car to commute few days a week. Lost some fun but still a pure drive machine

[@radans99]

@@owenstang4665 @ericrichter7451 Congrats on getting your Ts. Close to pulling the trigger on a 24 T as well. Question for you - with the reduced sound deadening on the T, how is the road noise inside the car? I'm going to have my almost 3 yr old in the back during weekend joy rides, and just checking on making the right choice. Thanks again!

[@owenstang4665]

@@radans99 as far as I know GTS and T have the same reduced sound isolation, but both not that significantly noisier than a S or base from interior (and all 911 have considerable road noise) If you enjoy the engine sound as I do, T will be the right choice.

[@rtsmith3921]

Nice video! First I have seen from your channel. Nice production. I have a new 992 T in GT Silver with PDK. Agree with your evaluation and impressions. Very enjoyable.

[@CarswithMiles]

Thank you!

[@rikaguilera2]

What really makes this the BEST bargain in a 911 (for the real driver that is) is that you can get a manual trans, lightweight package, and with a very affordable tune from APR, etc. It will have over 600 hp. So, MORE power than a GT3, lightweight, manual trans at a fraction of the price..

[@AndersChanTidemann]

Loved your ending of the test….and I have a T coming in less than a month….

[@palefaced1]

I've owned multiple gt3 porsches and also cayman including gt4rs. The Carrera T is my favorite out if all of them. It's so simple and playful. Also, surprisingly fast.

[@nvanpraag]

Great review (and review-er!). I have a 2023 Carrera T in GT Silver and I love everything about it... except the stereo. You're right, it's garbage. But... mated to a 7-spd manual I can untangle the stretches of highway 1 in my backyard, listening to the "Porsche Soundtrack," and well, be very very happy. Thanks again for a great video! P.S. Bose was not an available option on the 2023 model so it would have been nearly $6k to upgrade... not worth it to me. I would definitely go for the Bose!

[@poopsie117]

Question, do the 992 generation 911 Carrera models come with double-wishbone front suspension, like those of the GT models? Also do adaptive dampers come standard or are they another option you have to spec out? Also beautiful and high quality production! Looking forward to more longform content :)

[@esqu1re]

I feel like every generation is the last of something. Last of the air cooled, small body, NA tuned, amd now non-hybrid.

[@marklara5529]

Best 911 T review 🙏🏽

[@sherrin130]

Miles tell us PDK or manual for T what would you buy?

[@TheSunTheSea]

Miles, great video. I’m very undecided on the rear axle steering option. One of my main motivations of getting the T is to have a manual transmission in a purist 911. Do you think the RAS makes the handling more “artificial” or is it a must as far as options go?

[@CarswithMiles]

I think it vastly improves the agility of the car. I'd probably option it if I was buying new from the factory

[@dailymanna5912]

I had a tough time deciding on RAS but very glad I got it - pros: low speed turning radius, powering out at high speeds (different from "longer wheel base" effect) , quicker steering ratio when not active between 30 to 50 mph (where most of my back road driving is done). cons: turn in can feel "assisted", 2k option, extra weight/complexity, another thing that can break. As I got more used to it, I'm simply amazed at how well it works. If you do HPDE or you are a highly skilled driver, I would spend seat time in RAS/non RAS back to back before deciding.

[@berponteberponte3231]

mate!! put the seat belt correctly 07:14 !!! other than that , Perfect review!!

[@offtheice]

nice vid

[@drjdmtuning4982]

The base sound system coupled with less insulation is kinda not a bad thing I’m surprised if they don’t have a full delete

[@CarswithMiles]

It's not a bad thing if you don't ever plan on using the sound system. But this isn't a track car, so I would expect most people would.

[@santiago6251available]

[@porschebmwchevy654]

Too slow for the asking $ & will need bigger turbos just to lose to a fbo g80…. The turbo S can’t even touch the g80 mod for mod. & I love Porsche & can buy a turbo s so no hate.

[@MatthewJay80]

Unfortunately, yes

[@ballsteinyts]

Is it possible the sound system is worse than a WRX?

[@CarswithMiles]

I had the new WRX GT some months ago and this is definitely worse unfortunately.

[@salmonchripczuk3121]

Love you miles

[@Supercat_2022]

When referencing the audio quality. You called the 911 a luxury sports car. I tend to disagree with that statement. The 911 isn’t designed for luxury. It’s built for the sports car enthusiasts. Yeah there’s nice creature comforts along with the latest standard driver assist technology. But it’s not for those who want to be pampered in an automobile by far. It’s laid out provide the best sports car experience while being able to out run it’s competition if there are any.

[@CarswithMiles]

Fair point!

Miles, How does ride compare to a 991.1 base

[@jeremy7818]

Pure flat 6 ? If these were actually normally aspirated and not small turbos to meet emissions mandates then these would be more popular as a purist spec.

Best value 911 maybe But best value Sports car, nah

[@sebastiankowdrysh9518]

Value? No a miata is value, a brz is value, a supra, nissan Z, maybe a base cayman or boxster, but here in Canada that car starts at $156,000, a fully loaded 3LT Z51 C8 is cheaper and out performs imo. The carrera is a great sports car but I’m not sure I can consider it a value

[@federicoteso2692]

[@dlj1285]

@@CarswithMiles I’m clearly not trying to suggest the car is not an incredible one. It’s a 911 after all. I’m just referencing the massive increase in price over a relatively short period of time. A Carerra S was 135 - 140k starting not that long ago here in Canada.

[@CarswithMiles]

@dlj1285 BMW M3s are also $100K with enough options. The average car price is double what it used to be years ago. This is Porsche simply moving in accordance with the economy.

[@dlj1285]

@@CarswithMiles I don’t know man, I’ve been watching the prices of 911s in the CND market pretty closely, as I was thinking of buying one. In the end I ended up going another direction. Relative to some other choices out there Porsche has gone up a lot faster. At least in this market. It really doesn’t matter at the end of the day I guess if it is working for them business wise. It clearly is, as they wouldn’t have the pricing they have if it wasn’t. Pretty special cars regardless. I could tell you were enjoying this Carerra T quite a bit ;-o

[@brycecampbell4845]

The base model is worth $89,400. The T model is worth $96k. This is why they are no longer the best value. They are overpriced. Until they drop I won't buy another I've had 2 of them and own a Turbo now. All of them are overpriced.

It's not that good value, right now the cheapest you can actually get one is 140k used nationwide. C8 z06 shits on this car and is only 20k more with all its markups. Lotus emira also demolishes this.

[@CarswithMiles]

I've driven the Z06 twice now and this is hands down the better drivers car overall. Z06 is fantastic though. Haven't driven an Emira yet though!

[@roboticvenom1935]

@@CarswithMiles better drivers car but to what end? A Toyota GR86 and its actually lightweight chassis will arguably give you a better purist feeling? Better yet a Miata that has even more road connection then this Porsche and is way cheaper. But we do not necessarily say its better just because it's more purist or there's more steering feedback. There's levels to everything and the Carrera T is mega priced for its lowly power figures that are not enough coupled with the Porsches ever growing weight( this lightweight Carrera T quoted btw is just 24 pounds lighter then the normal Carrera. Bogus). And unlike the Porsche, the Corvette gives you a well appointed and optioned out interior amongst all levels, you do not have to shell out a minimum of many thousands on interior options to not have your Porsche 911 have less features then a base model Elantra. I am very excited for your lotus emira review. It truly is an incredible vehicle. I think you'll absolutely love it.
