A cabrio? New? Turned down?

 

I had a 'vert once and got rid of it bc it gets annoying. Besides, a fixed roof car is stiffer and won't flex as much on track days which is one place for sure this car will be used.

 

Sucks to wait, but get what you want.

 

Buy it and flip it for a profit when you receive it. Keep your current order in the works.

 

It's long gone, no regrets

 

My SA said the configurator is updating 6/23, and "you'll be configuring another 992 I'm sure Scott. lol." In short that means the 992.2 is coming out.

 

 

SON OF A BITCH!!
Yeah, that's not good news either, my build price went up $7270 and I lost the choice of my preferred color, Dolomite Silver.

Message when I tried to open my preferred configuration this morning


Lose Dolomite Silver as an option


Price before update:

Price post-update with the exact same configuration substituting GT for Dolomite, both $840. $7270 more.

Bummer to lose your preference
Though, it's a 911, there aren't too many factory colors that would look bad.

I recall working in college, doing neighborhood gate security at a $1M+ lakefront community. Guy had a triple brown (paint, top & interior) 911 Cab (997 IIRC, this would've been around 2008).
Seemed an odd choice for a car in that price bracket, especially with it being 3 shades of brown.

 

New configuration with GT Silver instead

Still looks great, love the blue interior too.
Only change I'd make would be to drop the 911 on the rear

 

I dropped the overly wordy "911 Carrera S" in favor of just plain 911. The graphite blue really (to me) brought out the blue tones in the Dolomite Silver. I'll have to stop in at the dealer and see how they pair up in their configuration room with my SA.

 

At least they dropped the price of the sticker on the side...

Still no allocation for build?

 

I'd take Carrera S, personally. But yeah 911 Carrera S is too much.

 

Fuck, that sucks

 

IF I could get the base Carrera in a manual, I would do it in a heartbeat but that is not the case.

 

I’m not sure what this silver is called, but I liked it. This was a friends 992 911 Carrera S, and he paid ~$143K back in 2019…PDK (which I also liked, Altho the ultimate would be 6MT!). Nothing on the rear, he had them debadged. I think it looks great clean….obviously personal opinion.

 

He must have a shit-ton of options on that car for it to be $143K 3 years ago. Looks like GT Silver to me and the manual is and has been a 7 speed.

 

Yeah, I don’t know all the options it had, it did have the sport exhaust.

 

Configurator games once again-I dig the retro look of this Sport-Tex/cloth centers the only sacrifice is no ventilated seats which is not a big deal at all. I'll go to the dealer and sit in their configuration center again while looking at the exact colors/materials there to determine what I like best.

 

Looks good, but I'd hate to lose cooled seats, with Houston heat.

 

I've got 'em in my Gran Coupe and they're nice but in Buffalo, they're largely unessential 95% of the time. I've lived in Houston, I know what you're talking about.

 

I imagine the partial cloth are grippier than full leather.
Though I'm sure a 911 has plenty of bolsters to offset 'slippery' seats.

 

at the classic look of these seats

 

I like those a lot.

 

Agree, those seats are perfect for that car

 

Still making mini-changes? No build allocation on the horizon yet?

 

We are all going to be very upset if you don't get those seats. Bonus points if they come in that awesome classic brown color too.

 

Chief's balls are so blue that they're starting to form their own gravitational pull.

I'm sure the wait will be worth it

 

me too!


no build allocation yet and yes, still making minor changes.

Not a fan of the classic brown, especially in a silver car.

i've started to read on Rennlist that things are starting to move along, i'd expect your spot in line to come pretty soon. has there been any updates similar to that from your dealer?

 

No, and I don't send endless messages to my SA either. I haven't contacted him in 2 months, the last to say here's my changes to my build only to hear the configurator is changing in less than a week so you're getting a different car than you planned (color only). Went from Dolomite Silver to GT silver bc the former was discontinued for 2023.

 

I have said to many that I'd prefer a base Carrera with a 7MT and now to that end, Porsche has re-introduced the Carrera T which is precisely what that is with the go-fast bits of the S minus nearly 100 hp. I can easily live with a 3200 pound car with a likely understated hp rating of 379. I configured one and sent it to my SA hoping I could get an allocation for one. We shall see but here's the configuration. Comes standard w/ Sport Chronograph, Sport exhaust, PASM, lightweight glass (which I wanted anyways) and some nice bits in the interior. The only choices for audio are base and Burmester so I popped for the latter. Also it comes standard without rear seats which for me is perfect as I will never have anyone back there anyways and it will likely give me more room to pack up for a long weekend away with wifey.

How does the OTD compare between the T & the S?
Personally, I really like the T & it'd be more than plenty car for me. Costs more than my first house, though.

 

I'm all for the T.

 

T looks very nice, I'm also all for 7MT, less weight and better overall balance

 

^^^ well the S was only considered because of the 7MT availability in it vs. the Base. This car gets me more in the price range I'm comfortable in.

 

T looks awesome. The side graphic with the T looks great too.

 

I think so too Sam, I would probably delete the model on the rear though and leave it "911"

 

Ditched Burmester and added SportDesign Package instead. Adds quite a bit of presence to the car I think. Also got rid of Lane Change Assist and Exclusive Design tail lights but added Rear Axle Steer.
