Moving from mid-engine to a Carrera T

My bad about the quote. Your build is beautiful Larry. But someone could like lizard green stitching with gentian blue. Who are we to say otherwise. Just preference.

The racing yellow with red « everything » is another story. LOL!

Glad to see I’m not the only one quoting the wrong person. LOL! 🤪

Bobby, are you pulling the trigger on another 992?

Heck no! But life is unpredictable so what if my SA offers me a GTS or Turbo! Oh no! Not in the budget so no plans just looking forward to kissing the Popes ring.

So I go out for an afternoon and look what I miss! I still defend my gentian/black/lizard combo but to each his own. Can't wait to see what it looks like just won't be mine! Blue exterior with full tan interior has been around since the end of time, and we're only talking green accents here. Would I get it? Probably not, but imo it's not as crazy as the Ronald McDonald combo. As you know i went more traditional with GT Silver and mostly cause i love the color and silver on a 992 and of course the tradition. I don't care too much about re-sale. I think for a car to not be re-sellable especially a 992 you really have to mess up but yes i agree there are some disasters. Heck, I happen to think chalk looks great with red!

Hello all, this is my first post. I'm out of Northern Virginia. a 15-year Porsche owner (base Cayman in 2008, 718 Boxster S in 2017, wife drives a Macan) and member of PCA. I run our "drive and dine" touring group in Potomac Region, so I do spend a lot of time on the scenic mountain and hill roads of VA, MD, PA and WV. Once in a while we make it to the beach or the lighthouses of southern Maryland too,

As of last night, after about a 1 month wait, I received an allocation for a Carrera T, my first 911 (and a manual to boot) which is scheduled for production in the June-July period. I was advised it will be a "2024" model, so I'm wondering if the 992.2 upgrades are actually going to be classified as 2025, since there haven't been any unveilings of the .2's, which would have likely happened already, as opposed to the snowy preview pictures with disguises tacked onto the cars.

Still trying to get my arms around the fairly limited color options. (I have a feeling anything not black, white, silver, guards red or racing yellow will eventually become an $11,000 paint-to-sample.) It is definitely s crapshoot on what colors may be "in" or "out" for 2024 beyond the basic 4. Plus will Bose be available? Will there be interior options besides basic black checked Sport-Tex, gray stitching / pinstripes or green stitching / pinstripes? I have done a couple configs (OK more than a couple configs). Two of them have stripes (and all have door decal-delete) just so they pop a little more. I welcome your thoughts / any intelligence on what a "2024" model will be. Thanks all!

The entire thread is about “opinions“. I don’t think anyone has to defend his opinion, because there is no right or wrong here .

The original opinion of blue and green was one of them. “Too much risk“ is another opinion about that choice. The time to be upfront about those opinions are before the person who is confused, makes his or her final choice. . He gets to see variety of thought.

Every color that I have suggested that I would pick, I myself have owned. Any color that I somewhat dismissed is a code that was not chosen by me. If you had chosen a blue and green car cause he would carry a little more weight than just recommending it based on the configurator .

I have stated that I have kept it simple with white, silver, and black. I took a chance with chalk on my Macan. Now that I have the car, I have mixed feelings about the color, but at the same time, would pick it over his combinations and choices. That is how I ended up in shock who is the only color outside of black, white or silver that I thought I could live with daily and on that site I still feel that way. My suggestions are based on the actual experience of owning the car.

Porsche offers many different colors and combinations, and each person will find the one that suits him most.

I never thought one single second about resale and don’t regret it. Unless you go crazy and get a Ronald McDonald or Superman combo, your car will be worth just as much when you want to sell it.
