Actually doesn’t quite work that way. True if 10% want a manual when new, the used car market is different. There is a reason why manuals have higher resale. The percentage of used buyers wanting manual is considerably higher. I’m one of them; recently bought a 991.2 GT3 manual. Have to act fast when they show up for sale, because the demand is higher.
I helped my father spec his 2024 911T. He did no RAS with lift, base interior and seats, upgraded stereo, three beautiful aluminum pedals, silver dials and belts with body color interior accents in GT Silver. He is very happy with it and we had a great bonding experience speccing it. Now to create some memories on the road!
@@ajforever8251 dude this sounds rad. If you have photos I would love to see it. On insta @porschexguy and @VisionT7. Hope you two do some epic road trips together. 🙌
The front lift is like AWD, 90% of the time you don’t need it but it sure helps when the snow hits. Just giving you a hard time on the PDK. I’m happy for you.
911 is a great road tripping car. Tons of storage. Slays the miles. 18 ways are super comfy. Gets good gas mileage. Passing is easy peasy. I put 45,000 miles on a ‘22 C2S Cab manual in a year and a half and then specked out a ‘24 C2S Cab manual to get the sport suspension, front axle lift, extended range tank, Burm stereo and night vision. Extended range tank gives me 600 miles of range! I can’t remember the last time I took a plane somewhere. And I’m a pilot! You’re right, I wish I’d gotten one when I was younger too.
@@Yakman18 sir you are living my dream. Thats alot of miles and I love it. Sounds like you are a Porsche head now. I can’t believe you drive over flying. So funny coming from a pilot. If you are Instagram I would love to connect. PorschexGuy and VisionT7 are my two accounts.
Thanks for sharing your 911T ownership journey! I live in TX as well, and just got my new 911T transported (out of state purchase from CA ) two months ago and am slowly acclimating to Porsche ownership. Been researching and dreaming the past two years for one and finally pulled the trigger buying early bc I didn't like the 911 changes for 2025 ( digital tach & push to start).
Funny thing... I too started with a GTS order and switched to the T. Mine is a 2023 and I absolutely love it. Congrats. Did not go for RWS - wanted simplicity and lightweight. Did get the front lift - where I live it's needed. Also went for the carbon roof... because... sweet!
@@Porschedrop The carbon roof is very sweet and (slightly) lighter (whatever). The Bose was not available in '23 because of the chip shortage so I have the perfectly awful stock stereo as well. My 89 dollar JBL bluetooth speaker sounds about as good. It's the only bad thing about the car. Kudos to you for road tripping it so much! You've inspired me to do the same. Life's too short!
@@taylordoingstuff it’s a really really good car. Might get one now with 20k miles decent price. Try to find one with upgraded seats. They are sooooooo good
@@tobi_dg yeah man. It’s great. Super deep inside. I can hold a large carry on, a full size back plus a backpack inside. Anything else goes into back seat area
I appreciated the video. The T is the pick mate, unfortunately Australia's hatred of cars has this car at about $239KUSD. that is what happens if you allow commies to take over your country. Anyways, it hurst so much to know that this is a symptom of policy and if I could take my basically American appearance to the your country, I could understand first hand what you are saying. Australia, let's change this LCT BS. we are victimised for like cars and having higher T than the politicians. If the T meant tranny, it'd be likely a different story. anyways, another great T, has finally made a clear sign to the rest of the free world.
@@Porschedrop you sound defensive and self conscious ...the pdk is tech and assist..it's literally the opposite of manual. there's nothing wrong with pdk, just noting it's irony of you hanging your hat on a "raw" car that is typically built w manual and you optd pdk
@@drewztube1 not defensive at all. Your comment comes across as slightly condescending. Automatics have been around since the 20s. It’s not new by any means. You knew I was referring to the new tech of today but you still felt the need to be rude and frankly an ass.
@@Porschedrop I was making a joke about the irony of your comment. Pdk is tech assist. It's automatic transmission which is driver assistance. It's ok if you don't know how to drive a manual. It's not ok if your level of expectation running a channel is that everyone is going to agree w what you do and say.
@@drewztube1 well my keyboard warrior, thanks for the advice and I guess I’ll try to toughen up as I continue my little channel. If you have a Porsche, go enjoy it and stay off my page lol 😆
Sorry to hear you didn’t choose the manual. Maybe next time you’ll get it right and if you didn’t feel the 155mph is that good? Maybe new Porsches are too dull
@@dans4316 sorry!! Lmfao. Funny how everyone praises the pdk, but god forbid somebody chooses one. I would never say it’s dull but in comparison to an air cooled, you are right. Now if compared to modern cars, you feel almost everything in a T. 155 was smooth but I could feel the car sucking downing to the road, the rear squating as the air pushes her down. I drove an M3 on the autobahn a few years back an that gave minimal feedback at those speeds. You feel where this 911 is going in a really good way.
What a car. Find me on Instagram at VisionT7 and at PorschexGuy
Appreciate the support 🙌
Thank you and anyone else for buying a PDK T. It helps to keep the high resale value for those of us who have manual T’s 😉
@@jdhillon787 lmfao. You are welcome.
Yeah but only 10% of the market wants a manual. So sure, less supply, but also less demand.

@@jdhillon787 yeah. Remember when sticks were nothing worth paying more for. Now it’s all the craze.
Ok but buying a manual for resale value when you actually prefer a PDK isn’t great.

@@Porschedrop onyxthecarreracab just gave you a follow. Never stop driving!
I would watch you more if you got a manual. I still watch you only after I consumed every other 911T content with a manual
@@davidsean290 hahahahaha. Well ummm thx I guess. You looking to buy one? That new stick looks cool but you lose the analog gauges and key
I have almost the same T as you. 2024 PDK, 18 way, Bose, but no RAS. AMAZING car!! Enjoy....and watch those retaining walls 😩
@@risley1313 hahaha. Just did the Cobb tune. Really made the car wake up. Love it

How long did you wait to get an allocation and delivery?
@@c5vette739 two week allocation. 5ish months delivery
What’s the markup they were asking for the gts?
@@tt2ize 20k but it might be less now
It is my dream car. I think 991.2 Carrera T will be attainable for me soon!
@@taylordoingstuff it’s a really really good car. Might get one now with 20k miles decent price. Try to find one with upgraded seats. They are sooooooo good
Love my T
@@tabblakely4987 such a good car
I’m also considering tuning my 992, have you considered M-Engineering?
I have actually. Cobb is based in my city so trying them
How is it living without an actual trunk? I know the frunk is there but is that as convenient day to day?
@@tobi_dg yeah man. It’s great. Super deep inside. I can hold a large carry on, a full size back plus a backpack inside. Anything else goes into back seat area
