  • "Between the whole nine-car gathering, if I had to pick one car from our 2024 Performance Car of the Year test to daily drive for the next five years, it would be the Porsche 911 Carrera T. Everything about the Carrera T, particularly a lower-spec one with a stick, is just right." - Matt Farah

    For those that want the true Porsche experience, a manual 911 T is the one to get. Hands down.

    The T is designed as the pure 911 of the range. It is a lot more rare than the GT3s. It is highly acclaimed by all journalists. You know what this means to its value down the road.

      Who cares if it’s “more rare” than the gt3, the gt3 is a better car in every single way.

      As a person who has owned both, I disagree. The gt3 is a better track car, but it's not good on the road. It's also hard to use all the power due to its speed. Therefore you don't get to experience what it can do unless you are on a track, which for most people, isn't often. And it's almost double the cost. I'm not saying it's not great, I'm saying it's a purpose built car. Carrera T you can use almost all of it, all of the time.

    How did you come up with that $128,000 figure?
    I cannot seem to keep my (992) Carrera T build _under_ $150k!
    It is safe to say that I have been driving my Porsche contact absolutely nuts!! (Pun intended) Now that the 992.2 gen is quickly approaching, I think I will delay my decision until I see what the new version has to offer. Pending the allocation process. IYKYK.
    Nevertheless, I greatly appreciate any and all content pertaining to the 992 Carrera T. Especially based here in the US which is an entirely different car culture all together.
    Stay classy my friends.

    The car is more like 400 hp plus - and Farah seems really nice in these videos but meet him at a cars and coffee and he is not so friendly… He really seems to have a stick in the wrong place. He is right about the 911 T - a beautiful car and a wonderful car to drive. The c8 feels like your steering a snow blower - wide and cumbersome on the road - and cramped inside because they used up all the interior space with all the lumpy exterior body design.if your over 6’ the 911 is the sports car of choice…

    I couldn’t stomach the 15k and 25k ADM my local Porsche dealership wanted for a new Cayman and 911 respectively. I don’t have an established relationship so they couldn’t possibly sell at MSRP. I waited and managed to snag an allocation for a 2024 C8 Z06 at MSRP. I guess good things do come to those that wait.
