First run for the year.  Broke my rule of calling people back on their terms and not mine.   Ruined the drive.

Well the NA rumors were certainly all wrong. Color options are … interesting. And looks like a manual is no longer an option on a GTS? This is making me feel way better about my BGTS 4.0 purchase

If a person wasn't hung up on the MT option it sounds like you get the GTS turbos and Turbo S intercoolers.  For around 7 grand I can add those and a tune to my T.  The price hikes are what would hold me back from a new allocation.  

I do like a subtle changes on the front and rear fascia.

Makes me rethink the pdk option on my C2S. Freeze date is June 6th. May have to think about this. Also, 2+2 is no optional? Isn't that a HUGE change on the 911 platform?!

For the guys who have been around Porsches for a while and go to events and such, is the MT a comon option? Flipping through the CPO it looks like the MT isnt all that comon. I'm not overly worried about resale but as of now I have the PDK option checked and given the announcement I'm considering the MT.

I like the performance aspect of the PDK but the simple fact is I'm not a track star and never will be. For just open road driving the MT would be more fun and engaging I think. Granted, the MT will never launch like the PDK will and not even sure if the MT can handle clutch dumps the same way as the PDK will but at trhe end of the day the MT is more engaging and the PDK feels more performance oriented. Not sure which box to check at the moment, and its a big damn decision.

The manual is fun to drive even at normal speeds. I love the engagement, and will always pick 3 pedals if it’s an option to.

We finally took a "real" Porsche on trade and it's a 993 C2 cab with an auto

Getting closer, been through a lot of SUVs and a few 997's. I'm not on the sales side at all, always hopeful something exciting will roll in.

I just picked up a CPO Turbo S (PDK)   I understand the desire to row gears....but you will not do it better than the PDK. The paddles really do scratch the itch. I am a life long drag racer, and have a shelf full of trophies from unimpressive classes to show I am better than those who never did it.... and I have very little experience on road courses (but I am learning). But again, those paddles really do scratch the itch.   I also have other cars (in some case much faster cars) with clutches.

I do not own a vintage Porsche (lets say pre 99) I would want a manual transmission in those. (and I really want to add a flachbau 930 to my stable and it will have the Lords transmission.....)

If the numbers are right, the gearing is such that you'd really only row between 1st and 2nd. Wringing it out in 3rd is already approaching jail.... but a 4-2 pass on a highway would surely be fun

1st: 45mph
2nd: 76mph
3rd: 110mph
4th: 148mph
5th: 186mph
6th: 221mph (drag limited)
7th: 282mph (drag limited)

That is one way to look at it.


Then there are all the real world track records.

Get whatever you want. I often do, in spite of the numbers.

Is there a good resource for all of the Porsche acronyms?  Google really isn't much help.

4S - AWD Sport?
2D - 2WD?
C2 - ?
C4 - ?  

MT
CPO

Many others....there are a ton and if you don't speak Porsche, it is very difficult to understand the differences in models.

This is a very individual preference. Years ago I said I'd never own an auto trans, now have 5 of them.
My 911 was purely purchased as a track car, and I was not comfortable moving from a slower S550 Mustang to a 992 911 manual, on track....Many do it, but for me - there is zero room for error with 992 911 speeds, it's not your Miata or BRZ. I can come into a turn at 150MPH while a Miata comes into the same turn at 100mph. I'm not in a situation where I want to replace a $140K track/fun car that I wadded up into a wall.
Fun weekends - yep, I'd go manual all day long. Daily driver, ehhh - probably not (for me).
I love launching the 992 911S PDK from a dead stop. Passengers enjoy it as well.
Good luck!

On the 911 the Turbo is a separate model/body from the Carrera (nearly all non-GT Carreras have had a turbo engine for a while but not a Turbo engine), but in other platforms (Panamera, Cayenne, etc) it’s generally the same model with more power.

Most 911s are available in 2WD, AWD, convertible (cabriolet) and/or targa (removable roof section) variants. Special models include the GT cars, the 911 T and S/T, but most have the same/similar options with higher end models making some options standard + more power.

If you want the extra power and some performance options, the GTS is traditionally the best buy; if you don’t want a lot of features or don’t need the most power, the base model is plenty for most anyone.

Finally got the windshield replaced on my car. It has taken no less than 2 months due to incorrect weatherstripping being ordered and it arriving broken (internal metal frame). They would only let 1 technician perform the work and the weather has been shit.

No thanks. That is slightly used Turbo S territory.

I wonder what the dealer's thought process is here - trying to cash in on somebody who wants the latest and greatest before anybody else? Or something else? I'm surprised that anybody is asking for ADM on something that isn't a GT3 or 4.

Didn't realize this thread existed, psyched to be able to post in it.  After ordering a 992 Carrera S, I bailed on it and went for this instead.  Way less practical, but way more fun for me.  And I figured the GT division rarely puts out roofless cars (especially at this price point) so why not.  It's had GT4 scoops, over axle pipes, RS tips, and full PPF added.  Definitely have been having a blast with it.

Man I'm not either other than the 992, the GT4 and 991 GT3 were on the table for me as well, and I definitely don't love the 911 cabriolets so never considered any drop tops.  It was coupes only on my wish list.  But if I'm honest with myself it's more a weekend ripper than a track weapon so this fits the bill for sure.

Haha it does.  Doesn't go to 9k like the GT3 BUT 3000 lbs, 4L NA flat 6, 8k rpm, and a 6 speed manual is a winning combo IMO.
