    Having owned a 991 for 4 years and now owning an even lower 718 Spyder, I wouldn't pay for front axle lift. I never once rubbed the 911. The Spyder has a few minor rubs on the under side that are not visible unless you are under the car. Importantly, do NOT get the front lip painted and, especially, don't get it in carbon fiber. The standard plastic front lip is designed to be replaceable and is not expensive if you really smack it on something. Plus, search the cost to repair those front axle lift systems out of warranty. I would view it as a negative option and would pay less for a used 911 that had it.

      @@free_electron108 I had a 991.1 C2S coupe (manual). The engines feel very similar, which I expected given the similar displacement and power. The Spyder is more direct across all inputs though and it feels smaller (even though it’s not that much smaller). Both are great sports cars though.

      100% agree. I had a 991 Carrera T and currently have a 718 GT4. No axle lift on either. No problems. I’ve scraped the underside of the GT4 plastic lip. But who cares, it’s not visible at all.

      What's crazy about that? It's a 3.0 twin-turbo which is heavily detuned as standard (whether it's 380hp or actually 420hp, it's very little for a 3.0 turbocharged engine). With a typical 2.0 turbo making 330hp, then a 3.0 should be around 495hp as stock shouldn't it? 🙂

      @@TassieLorenzo Totally agree. I test drove the 2022 911GTS, ended up with a 2023 911T (tuned it) no exhaust yet (still stock). With a stage 1 tune, WHP is 495. I'll likely get an exhaust upgrade down the road and that will still be $40K less than a GTS model.

    Excited for this! Just got an allocation (only one month on waiting list) for June build and hopefully an Atlanta (Porsche Experience) delivery. (Ironically Cayman GTSs and other models are still apparently 12-18 month waits.) It's Gentian Blue (optional metallic color) with standard interior (allows you to go with red seat belts and still has the Sport Seats Plus with grey checkered sport-tex, as the T interior's grey stitching and pinstriped cloth doesn't contrast that much). Got the body color overlays in the interior, 21-gallon extended gas tank, side decal delete, electric folding mirrors, heated steering wheel and ambient lighting. And that's it, less than $3500 in options including the PEC Atlanta delivery. Not paying $5000-7000 for leather, $3000+ for "special colors" (and $11,000 plus for paint-to-sample, which you need to get the Gulfblau color of the test car), or another x,xxx dollars for deviated stitching or the aerokit or color-matched keys or Burmester stereo or sunroof which raises the center-of-gravity along with undoing much of the weight savings. If you start optioning all that stuff in, you might as well get an S model. You can even option nothing if you want, and still get the same car being tested, which is a real deal in the bizarro pricing world that is the 992-generation Carrera.

    The way you built yours MM is the way I’d build mine, except I’d probably go carbon fiber roof over the sunroof just to keep the weight down. I really want one of these but I’m already hearing that Porsche dealers are going to massively mark these up and you have to already have been a customer with them to get an allocation for one. It almost sounds like they’re making you jump through the same hoops as they would for a GT car allocation.

    Look at the bottom of the front lip of any porsche with front axle lift- you will find the same scratches as many non- lift car - often even worse damage on the lift car. Why? Because non- lift drivers learn to go in and out of driveways as a habit sideways and not straight on. And the same with speed bumps. One front wheel at a time and SLOWLY! Guys with the lift don’t religiously deal with exiting and entering driveways properly to avoid damage. Only takes forgetting that lift button and ouch you have scraping. Or once over a speed bump. Or with the lift a really bad angle driveway taken straight on. I have a Targa 4, GTS and GT4 and no lift- no problems if you drive the cars properly. I even have my wife trained also! And trust me your wife is not going to hit that button every single time.
    When they have a lift system that “sees” speed bumps, or a driveway situation or even an object on the road and lifts automatically that would be perfect. Or how about a lift system that you turn on and it always lifts the car at less than 3 miles an hour? Why not have the car front lifted always at low speed? The lift can give you a false sense of protection. If you have a horrible driveway at home than the programming that gps location would be helpful for sure.

    The Porsche brochures state that it has a locking diff…. so it PTV being delivered by a diff - mechanical or otherwise - or via individual braking on wheels? Also in different markets different options. You can't get an S here with a manual. So your choices are T or GTS (or GT3). Comparable specs put the GTS at 60K AUD more than the T and the main differences is more power and bigger brakes. The suspension in the T borrows the helper springs and other tricks from the GTS that the S does not have.
    Specing this with the sports design kit to look like a GTS and adding in front axle lift and rear wheel steer. Leave out leather and sunroofs as they defeat the purpose and add weight and you are getting a car near identical to a stripped out GTS for 60K AUD less.
    AND you get the stripped out sound insulation and thin glass that a GTS doesn't have so you get the sound and light feel from the door panels as well as a result. At least in the Aus market and coming from a 981 Spyder, the 992 T is the one to get if you can't get or want to pay for a GT3. Which is only 20K AUD more than a GTS anyway. Bose is standard in Aus too as is the light weight battery.
    Given that the internet is international it may make sense to preface statements about facts as "depending on your region" as Porsche with their many options doesn't equip stuff the same all around the world.
