Weight savings shouldn’t be mentioned all that much being as 11lbs is nothing in car terms. If weight savings is the goal drop the power seats and get manual ones or carbon buckets

I'm interested in the T as well, but I think Porsche should have bumped it up to 400 hp to make it a bit more special compared to the base Carrera because 400-450 hp is the sweet spot for a true driver's car, which makes the GTS a slightly better option, in my opinion. But still, the T is a desirable recipe, to be sure, and the agate gray accents really look nice, although I'll never own a black car again., as they are way too fussy to keep looking good, especially for a daily driver.

Nice video. I liked your detailed comments on the sound, handling, and steering. If you have the opportunity in future, I’d suggest moving up from the 911T to the 911R or (even better IMHO) the 991.2 GT3 with manual and Touring Package. Then, instead of GT2RS (which has several very good competitors ... 720S, Pista, Performante, etc.), get a Singer (which has very few real competitors and will deliver a completely different experience to the modern cars). Of course, they are all great cars!

I have just notched up my first service from new in my base 911 Carrera. It is by far, the best car I have owned or driven. I do think the lower specced cars in the 911 range are perhaps more evocative of older 911's. Yes, it has electronic toys, which make long (1000mile days) enjoyable. it also has enough trickery to help keep you on the black stuff, pointing in the right direction, but, for me, I don't need 4 wheel drive, rear axle steering, or even the SPASM suspension. I am not interested in the "sport exhaust" as it does not add any power, or light weight glass. Indeed, I have not yet felt that I need any more power than the base offers. I even went for the smallest wheels, for comfort on long trips. I am also quite confident that racing over local mountain passes, or even around a circuit, the biggest difference in times between even the base or a T against a GT3 / GT2 RS would be the driver. Even the base models are so bloody capable!!!

Nice one. BTW - lovely though the GT2RS is, it’s not worth paying anything like the asking. Other KZfaqrs lust after the Porsche GTs. Why not be different and get some cars built by aftermarket modifiers or restorers. You can order a bespoke built Singer Porsche for that money and have a car to your own design and specification, and no other KZfaqrs have one. Or why don’t you buy an Alpina - for example the B3 is awesomely quick, not that expensive and few other KZfaq garages have them. Or the Jensen Interceptor R Supercharged built by Jensen International Automotive - that is one handsome car.
