Dial 911

[JST]

There was a Dakar up here at a cars and coffee and it's an odd looking thing in person. I don't really understand the conceit, but it's especially weird on the East Coast where there's literally nowhere to drive something like that.

Back to SCA's car; I guess I sort of like the black lip, just for contrast. One thing I don't like about the 992 and 982 is that big black rectangle on the front underneath the nose; it would be nice to have something to break that up. But the Sport Design look is too close to the 981 and too expensive; given all of that, I think the stock T look is about the best you can do.

Same.

And I am glad they are making a decent enough run that some of them will actually get used and not squirreled away for speculators.

LOL.

Yeah. I’m with you. I buy cars preowned so I can drive them.

Did they articulate why no Speedster, ST or Sport Classic?

I think the GTS is overrated. I understand that it’s basically how they designed the 992 and then they detuned for the S. I get all of that. But at $190,000 (which is what they actually cost), do you feel foolish when you see at GT3 Touring roll by? I would.

and anything non-Turbo with awd is not actually fun to drive, folks. You are basically taking the baked-in preference for push at turnin and making it worse. Sound fun to anyone? No.

It’s not.

Yep...I'd rank all the 2WD variants above any of the AWD variants for sure...though my guess is that the Dakar has the potential to be lots of fun on the right types of roads. Not sure why they didn't include the other models you mentioned...maybe cause they're limited production?

i would assume it is because there is no speedster, the ST isn't on sale yet and the Sport Classic run is over?

Here’s a thread on some real-world 911 Carrera T’s.

Fast way to see all of the things which a buyer should avoid. Like black wheels. And the cheesy aero kit.

And some of the wheel choices. Ick.

I am relative active on RL.

lemming I am curious how you would spec a 992 T given that you currently own a 991 T? When you have some time would you mind going to the T configurator and spec’ing one out as to how you would build one? Post or PM your build code/link too.
