When I read this thread, I got all excited - perhaps now I can finally afford a new 911. So over to the Porsche Australia website and built my base model 911T. With no options, it came to US $185k !... maybe next year (actually, the year after, when private school fees are over ) |

I'm just curious how you're saying the T is "quicker" than all those cars? Is it your butt dyno? Is it based on some magazine testing? What numbers are you using to indicate quickness?

No.
That honor would go to the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Edition. Not the cheapest nor nearly the most expensive but all-around the BEST looks, appointments, performance, every day Supercar stats, and dare I say color. Oh the things I would do to her... |

I have driven a 991.1 GT3, 991.2 Carrera S (via Porsche Experience) and ridden in a 991.1 Carrera S. I have not driven a 991.1 GTS, my statement regarding the acceleration of 991.2 Carrera vs. a 991.1 GTS is based on the the article via Car and Driver. A PDK T will not be slower than a 991.2 Carrera. Reference: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...ra-test-review "The last naturally aspirated 911 PDK we strapped our test gear to was a 2015 GTS, which hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and ran the quarter in 11.9 seconds at 118 mph. The 2017 Carrera beats its zero-to-60-mph time by 0.2 second and matches its quarter-mile performance exactly." I'd be happy to give my $.02 of how the cars I've driven stack up if you are in the market.

I've been lusting after the 911T hard for at least a month now. I can get my build down to ~$118k but that's honestly too much car (money) for me right now.

no amount or removal of options will change the size of the 991
and that it's real problem in terms of being the 'perfect' porsche buy a 997 with 3 pedals and the mezger, and you're much closer to perfect p car for sensible money |

The turbo kills it for me. But I'm becoming an old man and am holding on to the past, I suppose.
Regarding the size, I thought the 991 handled better than it's predecessors due to longer wheel base / size? To me, the 997 is the best looking, but only barely. 997 GT3 is one of my 'attainable' dream cars - for whom isn't it? That said, 991 911R is hands down my favorite Porsche (well, that or the 918) - but I'll never own either unless I magically win the lottery without even trying.

In regards to handling, although larger than a 997, the 991 platform is a different level. And although larger they feel small and light, which they are. |
