Cheers, guys! :)

At this rate, you'll both be ordering Racing Yellow for your next Porsches! :lol:

Wingco! New video review!

https://youtu.be/GrYqdno1AUQ

It’s in Dutch... sorry... but its yellow! 😂

In brief:

Likes: Engine power/feeling, manual gearbox, suspension setup, steering
Dislikes: gear ratios should have been shorter still, difference in feeling with base carrera or Carrera S is too subtle. They would have loved even more basic, louder, lighter, shorter gears... a baby 911R basically, which according to them it is not.

Anyways, their views. I love it and if I would go for a 911, I’d take the T. And keep it as basic as possible and use it as a toy :)

Bulldog, Orange Bulldog.

Thanks, Tom. I enjoyed the video despite the language barrier! ;)

Yeah, those conclusions are similar to most reviews of the T. It's not a 911R or a GT3. Really?!? :shock: You don't say! :lol:

They all say that the gearing could be a bit shorter, or ideally just chuck in the 6-speed box from the R, GT3 or GT4. And I agree that the weight saving is negligible.

Roll on my collection in early April...! :mrgreen:

Looking great WC bet you’re getting more excited by the day,I’m tempted must admit but we’ve just ordered a nicely specced up GOLF GTI for the wife (got to keep her happy ) so we’re going to wait and have a Look at the 911 992 when it launched later this year and we’ll see then.
This is an expensive hobby but what the heck,

For a demonstrator, I thought the dealership would have spec'd it close to the concept. What does a car whose concept is centred around 'lightness' need? I know, weight! Let's add it to the highest point of the car too. 'Add sunroof, click'.

Cheers, Steve. :)

You're right. The excitement is building! :D

The Golf GTi is a great iconic car in its own right.

And it's only money after all! :lol:

I agree, alxgb.

The sunroof seems to go completely against the ethos of the T. I'm not sure about the all-black look either. Were I the sales manager speccing the demo/showroom car, I'd have gone for one of the 'launch' colours - maybe yellow or white. And add in PCCBs if feeling brave! ;)

The Golf GTI is a great wife’s car! We have exactly the same, got hers in Nov and I borrow it now and again. Also great for family duties as it has great space and plenty of pace for day to day driving. I
Didn’t go mad on spec as they come so well equipped but had to upgrade the wheels to 19s and pay for a metallic colour.

What colour are you going for
Steve?
