CloseThat was the impression I have about that gearbox . I hope it is better in the T , but it still remains actually a PDK box, that is converted to manual ..... And also, for manual, 6 speeds is enough for me

Great spec ISUK with the GT-silver + yellow/black interior 
I really love the cloth seat centers. Can't understand why leather has become so popular. I would get either sport-tex or these cloth seats if I were ordering. Just so much more comfortable on hot/cold days + you don't slide around in the seat.
Mikla:The GT4 box is such a joy to use! Had a hell of a drive this morning.
same here - wasn't driving it for a long time - once you get in and drive the little thing it's such a good chassis and gearbox etc - just one of the best price/value car outthere

AP911:yellow stitching and seatbelts gives a black interior so much needed color and a beautiful finish.
I agree with lukestern, leather is just nice to look at but can't compete with cloth seats or sport-tex in terms of comfort.
Very nice specs Perhaps yellow calipers will look better together with yellow interior bits ( since Porsche offers calipers paint with no additional charge, makes it even more considerable )

You can only get the yellow callipers from the factory by spec'ing the PCCB option which I don't want. Porsche have a strange attitude on brake calliper colour and use it to denote a type of braking system or model trim level instead of allowing their customers to choose a colour that compliments - as opposed to clashes with - their chosen exterior colour choice. The new tungsten carbide option brakes will come with white callipers which are going to look pretty odd with a lo of exterior colours. I've had callipers refinished in the past (I had the standard red callipers repainted into Racing Yellow on my Racing Yellow 991 for example) so that may be an option. I actually like the black look on my spec though as it is more subtle.

If I recall correct, we've had this discussion earlier on one of the threads and RC confirmed, that P offers a calipers paint in three colors free of charge - in this case it would be yellow without spec'ing a PCCB

GT Silver Metallic U2Great spec and the new fastest color
Congrats!
Obviously, I missed the yellow stitching and accents. For some reason I thought you had selected a grey interior with silver stitching. The yellow is a nice touch.

Well, you were always able to specc the PCCBs (410 / 390) also for a base 911, there is nothing new about it 
...I don't know what kind of an upgrade you are talking about...for me, the PCCBs are not interesting as I would not want to destroy material and hence, a lot of money, on the track...
Always able to spec them? Maybe for the 991s but never before then. I’ve had a few with PCCB and the non GT’s were always smaller. And likewise with 981 Boxster S and Spyder. Mine were just the 350mm version.
As for PCCB wearing out on the track, all I can say is that I won’t be buying a 911T for the track.
Well spotted, the diameters now seem to be identical. As to PCCB, I guess, that these are the very items in Porsche speccs you cannot argue about, you want them or you don't. Honestly however I am a little bit surprised that a Tweed base carrera gets so much attention, when the majority of RT members seem wanting to discuss the next rumoured GT3 / RS only...
... I am interested in the T also, though cannot think of replacing my 981 GTS now or in the near future. Neither my financials nor my petrol heart have the urge... 
... But, if and when, ... today, I would take the yellow car from the ads, take PDK, T interior with yellow and the sports seats, would discuss lift or no lift and would then settle with the usual must-haves like PCM, parking sensors etc., basically similar to isuk's speccs above.
The T just showed its ugly face to me, it seems that the choice for PDK eliminates torque vectoring and the mechanic diff... Something I have in my 981 GTS currently...btw, has your dealer told you what he will get as a T show room car? My GTS is a show room car and it seems that nearly all these cars had the same speccs in Germany...
noone1:I don't think there is much to say about it. It's not going to be much different than a C2... nonS.
The T is and stays a C2. As to the "enormous" press coverage mentioned, I am a bit disappointed as well as Porsche really should not forgo the opportunity to promote the base models...wait and see...
certainly, yes, I was referring mainly to the engine...however, the T may (academically) reduce the performance gap to the S on paper, but in real life, the T will just be a very good "C2". Given the high performance these P-cars are capable of these days, I doubt that "PASM or no PASM" will make a substantial difference...
Why would someone buy this car? Get a Carrera S, half a year old for the same price and drive a "real 911". I already see the comments when parking in the street "couldn't afford an 'S'".
Hideous move and another step towards ruing this precious brand and myth!
I’m now at a point in my life where my 2 seaters like GT3/GT4/Spyder just isn’t practical enough to be used even once a month, and the whole speed thing just isn’t that important on the road anymore. So the Carrera T really excites me and I think it’s a good package, base or otherwise.
