As someone who currently drives manual, I would absolutely take the PDK over the 7-speed manual version. After having driven the GT3 with a 6 speed, the 7 speed in the Carreras felt underwhelming. Additionally, the PDK simply fits this car better for daily usage anyway.

@amac8487 Жыл бұрын

Agree. I love manuals, and most all my sports cars have been manuals. The PDK in these cars is innnnsane. I have PDK on my cayman gts and my 992, and I don’t miss manual at all. I think if I went legit any other car that didn’t have dual clutch, I’d go manual.

I just traded my C8 and bought a 2020 base Carrera in Lava Orange and the car is amazing . The 911 is better in every way ( interior comfort, fit and finish , iconic looks and heritage ) . The C8 is a little faster from 0-60, but the stock Carrera with the PDK is close . But that's ok , because how often do I drive at 10/10ths from a stop light ? This is my first Porsche , but definitely not my last .

The base 992 is obviously well worth while. Plenty of performance, plenty of fun. A shame you can’t get it with the manual box. There is the option of a Carrera T which has more rawness but is less practical. But this is nick-picking. A lovely sports car this base 911.

These are always nice cars even in base mode, though I can tell you don't have quite the grip you get with the models that have PTV (not available on the base). The new 2024 base price is $114k, no additional equipment compared to earlier models. I guess the 992.2 will be a 2025 model. Saw a 2020 CPO (fairly basic spec, had premium package, all black with black S wheels) for $125k, other CPO base models had sport exhaust, 18-way seats, premium interior leather, and were well over $135k. Really not much of a difference to get a new one if you can get an allocation. I just got a June allocation for a 911 T with manual (interestingly only had a 4-5 week wait, but I've bought 3 non-911 Porsches from the same SA since 2008), unfortunately it's at the new price, meaning I may forego the PEC ATL delivery and maybe one or two options to keep the car under $130k.

@omegapsi847 Жыл бұрын

How does the non-AWD 911 behave in winter conditions such as coming to a stop on a hill? I once got stuck on a public road with my front wheel drive Golf this way, cause if you come to a complete stop on a snowy hill with front wheel drive, as soon as you try to go again the weight shifts immediately to the rear causing loss of traction at the front. I wonder if this is even problematic at all on the 911 since the weight of the engine in the back supports the drive axle and the snowy hill would be the only critical situation where I live. Or does it not matter and the 911 would only have slightly better performance compared to the fwd on the snowy hill?

@Veyronp87 Жыл бұрын

id spend a little more for the Carrera S - more power yes but also more features, better brakes, suspension, etc. Definitely a dream car! EDIT - since the prices have gone up on 911s im not so sure about the S. its approaching 150k with basic options so the bare bones base car is still a good buy
