Speaking of shark blue belts, it’s an…aggressive choice for Python Green.

Dude. If I could get python green, I would. And I would for sure get matching stitching and belts.

If PG was still available there would be zero waffling on paint. The interior color bits are lizard green. Think neon green, not the best match.

FYI, Python green is not even available as a PTS color.

I thought about Python Green; maybe would have done it if I’d known they were cutting the color.

But honestly the blue is just fantastic and I don’t regret it for a second.

The first 992 T that I saw was while it was being PDI’ed last spring. It was the first one the local dealership had received and it was Python Green. I fell in love…

2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T Review: The One To Have

Read More: https://www.slashgear.com/1399710/20...rera-t-review/

The photos within this article have me questioning the side T decals. I might delete, but will have to do it very soon. I also really do not like the Titanium Grey S wheels either, at least not with Shark Blue.

I like the decals —and you can always remove.

I don’t like the authors suggestion about the heritage five spokes. Those wheels feel to try-hard to me. Like too much nostalgia and it comes across as too fake. I hear you about the gray standard wheels with shark
Blue. But for the sake of keeping the package intact,‘I’d get those and get aftermarket’s BBS wheels later.

Resale to a Porsche geek with require the four way seats, the decal and the standard wheels. Just my opinion.

I hate Porsche. They suck.

8% shorter final rear end. More CF fenders. Lighter clutch and flywheel. Goddamn them.




For the lucky few, it will be kinda amazing.
