7 manual gears. 7 levels of fun. The only cars with 7-speed manuals are this, the Aston Martin Vantage/Vantage AMR when the new gen came out, and all of the C7 Corvette trims. It's a shame more manual transmissions aren't getting an upgrade, meaning 1 more gear. I really think in order to save the manual transmission in North America, it needs to be elevated, whether it's a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder, turbocharged 4-cylinder, a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder, turbocharged 6-cylinder, naturally aspirated 8-cylinder, turbocharged 8-cylinder, or supercharged 8-cylinder. Side note: I had thought the CT5-V Blackwing was going to get the Tremec TR6070 7-speed manual from the old C7 Corvettes. 1 more manual transmission gear would never hurt anybody to have. If I'm being honest, 7-speed manuals should be the norm in today's market.

You are so very right! Great info!

The iconic 911 model is still a fantastic sports car. Its too bad they have been priced into the stratosphere in recent years. They are literally unaffordable to most drivers. Even their used 911's are too expensive for most car enthusiasts. I owned 3 Boxsters in the past, they were fantastic handling cars. They were somewhat affordable. Good review Joe.

[@cranialnerv]

For all those wanting to order a new Porsche. You may get a completed car delivered only to have it sit at the dealer for months waiting for a Bose or Burmeister amp. Both Bose and Burmeister are on backorder. My new Turbo GT delivered minus the Burmeister amp. The dealer says Porsche won’t allow the cars to complete delivery till the amps come in. Could be months! So it sits at the dealer lot for months awaiting a plug and play part.

Another great review, Joe. I have had every (base or close to base) model of 911 starting with the 996 but the only one I really enjoyed was the 996, particularly the 2004 40th anniversary in manual. The most recent 992 (2020 Carrera S PDK) was too big, rather brittle and quite uninspiring. I have enjoyed Caymans and Boxsters generally much more.

Ok, honest question... Who would pick this carrera T over the new z06? Both cars will retail for more less similiar price. While the carrera T is a very nice spec, the new z06 will be more comfortable since more advanced magnatelorogical dampers, flat plane crank v8 pushing naturally aspirated 660+ hp, redline to 8k+ and you can take the top off (targa) when you want to for open air experience. I just don't see a scenario when given the choice picking this 911 over the z06. Sorry. But curious to hear what others think? Thoughts anyone?

I’m still trying to figure out what a “T” is, besides a stripped down base with a manual and ridiculous graphics on the door…? And the seats ! OMG…..even the “salesman” in this video couldn’t convince me they were comfortable !! It took me almost 3 years to get my allocation for the C2 I took delivery on 2 months ago. I had one hell of a lot of time to research options and I knew the configurator better than my dealer. When the allocation finally triggered, I had my choice between a C4s or the C2. I chose the C2 and optioned it. 15 K for 60 hp and a locking dif, didn’t cut it……and, on the C4s I could NOT get the 23 gal extended fuel tank…..and at about $250, that is probably one of the most regretted overlooked options on the configurator. My suggestion is to choose your model carefully, than spend time on the configurator and really know what you’re getting. You’ll have plenty of time to do the research unless you get really lucky with finding a 911 someone ordered and backed out. And you’ll spend $15 K more than you thought you would…..promise. Take the ride you just got in this “T” with a grain of salt……the car is a freak. ( a damned nice “freak”…..but still a “freak” ) Build your own, from a base to a Turbo S and you won’t regret it. Although I think it’s a huge mistake to base your decision in the 911 class of Porsches on hp, if you are one of those folks…..just know the “T” is the slowest of all 911’s. ( that’ll piss someone off…..probably the guy that just ordered one……..sorry.) Let someone else drive the Lego car…!

If only the gearing was a little shorter. The whole point of a manual is the fun you have with changing gears. If the gearing is so long that you can just leave it in 3rd gear, then you lose the fun in having a manual box.
