That really shows how deep that blue is. It's hypnotic. Love it.
Moving from mid-engine to a Carrera T
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!

So to recap...I have a 2024 T build, currently Gentian Blue. I have about a month to revise the build if I so choose, the main changes now are adding Bose, changing red seat belts to shark blue, replacing ambient lighting with the crest / weapon on the armrest. Now that I have the item on my Porsche page (build date is now shown as 6/20 with PEC-ATL delivery shown as 8/16), I noticed a diffferent horsepower rating. Original was 379 hp, now it looks like they are rating the engine at 385 hp. I wonder if some changes to the engine between 2023 and 2024 model years?

So my current order is for Gentian Blue, but for a while I've kept an alternate config in yellow (because it looks nice in the configurator). I've always wondered in the back of my mind if yellow would be a cooler color, especially since folks don't buy yellow 911's very much anymore. So suddenly at our monthly PCA brunch my wife saw a racing yellow 718 and wants me to get yellow instead of blue. So my two configs are now:
GentianBlue: 911 Carrera T | Porsche Car Configurator. (current order)
RacingYellow: 911 Carrera T | Porsche Car Configurator. (updated)
Big diff w/ yellow is with the interior - going with red instead of shark blue seat belts (I know, Old Bay look now, which I guess is better than Ronald McDonald), not doing the exterior color trim on the dash and console, plus adding yellow tach and chrono dials. But I literally never see any 992s in yellow in the DC area. Is resale / dealer pressure the driving factor or people just don't like yellow cars?
Are we weird for liking yellow?

Color is personal. I love Gentian. NOT yellow! If you pic yellow, IMO the interior should be sober. Yellow exterior, red seat belts and yellow dials is way too much of everything for me. Good thing you didn’t add interior trim in exterior color. 😱
Then again happy wife, happy life! 🤪
