Anyway, I did not believe (all) the hype either, then I got me one. And C2S is a fairly basic car... Not going to do any of those times and 0-60 is was e90 did in 2006, but did not get it for any of that. Therefore, Carrera T is also not about 0-60 or 1/4 mile numbers (although can also be tuned to come close to your numbers above....at 2x the price) |

Even in the T... you can option it with leather surfaces everywhere which is what I did at $165k. Anyway, I don't see that and the G80 as competitors (and certainly not an F80). They're fundamentally very different cars. One's a car with sporty capabilities and one's a dedicated sports car with the engine in the back. I see the 911 as a progression more so than a competitor. The desire to tune isn't so that I have the fastest 911 - it's to simply bridge the gap in power coming from a G8X.

I don't care to be in the 10s... I want a the engine to be behind me, with rear seats for the kids, and a nice interior.

The new T looks awesome to me. It always seems to receive some hate as some people look down on the base model and just view this as an extension thereof.
The price is outrageous but that applies to pretty much any car right now. |

I'd love a 992.2 Carrera T in GT Silver, but combine the base price with a few options here in Australia (Matrix LEDs, bucket seats, nicer wheels, Burmester sound and personally I like a sunroof), and all of a sudden you're at AU$385k on the road. That doesn't even include any leather! Spec a manual G82 LCI with the carbon seats (everything else is standard here in Australia) and it's $200k driveaway. That's a bloody good, fast and fun car for a fraction over half the price. |

I've driven the 718 4.0 on track and it's superior to the 911 (at least in terms of feel)... but on the road I'd still rather have the 911.

Unpopular opinion, but I wish they'd bring back the 944. I'm ok with them going EV on Boxster and Coxster if that give us a reasonably priced ICE 944 replacement.

Two issues with this car, the whole 'T' thing, so lightness and purity, is lost because the engine is forced induction, it REALLY needs the 430HP NA engine from the 991 GTS to complete the circle on it's ethos.
Second is the price, which is a bit nuts. I'd find the cleanest 991.1 GTS I could find, save a bucket of cash and get a proper engine. Beautiful Carmine Red with fuck all miles or Bright Yellow with 40K miles and a the $100K mark https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/b...-299b01a404c8/ https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/0...-dd9cde0830f6/ Edit, they almost all seem to be PDK , stick is more expensive https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/6...-c69289346cf7/ Maybe 165K new is not that nuts looking at the price of used sticks.

I was looking at some manual 992.1 GTS in the $175k range but they all seem to be very sparsely equipped.

The 992 T as well as the 991.2 T are a bit silly, IMO. These so called weight savings measures are so minuscule. These cars are heavy too and shedding ~70lbs ain't going to do much with a car that weighs 3250-3320lbs. I also cannot fathom the difficulty of working on one of these twin turbo flat sixes without much access to the motor without removing a ton of stuff and likely dropping the motor.
I'll take a 3050lb 3.4 liter 345hp NA flat six 991.1 Base model manual and do it up the way I want and make my own 911 T. It's still a 12 second car which is plenty fast for the street and a motor that wants you to rev it out and not be lazy with all that turbo torque. There's a good reason why all the super Porsches remain NA.

Yeah I'm not too worried about how it looks on the street. In my mind I already know that 911s don't have a ton of road presence, but I'm ok with that if it's a phenomenal car.
