2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T punches above its weight | One-Mile Review 

Right you are. Good company when touring is awfully nice to have, but touring alone in a 911 doesn't get lonely. Done both many times.

Lmfao it’s a base carrera with a mid manual. Ripoff considering only 2 years ago the gt3 was 161k

You sound like me with my 911. A boys dream come true. Cheers.

I completely agree. I didn't drive a 718 Cayman, but spent time in a 718 Boxster and really enjoyed it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QeX3J7pZDVE.htmlsi=efp02YPGt7KFqEq6

Thank you very much!

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you!

Excited for you!

We couldn't agree more. Thank you for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! And exactly right. For the street, this 911 T is spot on.

Well said.

Have driven a 2019 T sans RAS..it drove just fine to me. Watch Nick Murray's review of the T..in the comments he noted RAS was not a "must have"

I ordered mine (and took delivery in July) without. My rationale after speaking with many Porsche professionals was that it would be a bit more of a "pure" driving experience without it. And it saves some weight. Both consistent with the intended focus of the Carrera T and also the reasons they did not include it on the S/T - the most expensive 911 variant sold.

One more system to break and not necessary…..KISS

I own both of those cars. Absolutley loving my Carrera T in python green. They are completely different cars and the T is the first new 911 that I have ever been interested in. The T is more comfortable and has all the modern touches while giving you all the modern amenities. I would never sell my 993 for the T because so if you have to sell the 993 to get the T don't do it. The T is the one to have and didn't want a GT3. Many people have sold their GTS and GT3 to get the T because they realize that both of those cars are too fast for the street. Both the 993 and the T can be wound out on the street and is more invovling.

I have also been fortunate enough to just acquire a 2024 T, manual, no rear steering. I still own a 993 C4S and a 964 C4. Used to have a few other 911 2wd cars but they went to make way for the T which is the first new 911 I have bought in well over a decade. This is the perfect modern iteration of the original 911 ethos to me, though vastly different. One cannot compare the 992 to the 993. They are just too different. Like you iI had a 993 Carrera that had RS final drive, short shift, lwfw, solid engine mounts, suspension, bucket seats etc. The 993 is much more of a special occasion car, the 992 can be used daily and yet still be hustled. But for a pure blast, the 993 hot rod would win hands down. If I had to keep one, as I get older, I would say it may be the 992 as a daily. But they are just too different to compare.

For the seats, that is highly body type dependent. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall (181 cm) and found it had good thigh support. If you're taller or have longer legs, it may not be the same for you.

​@@viewsonvehiclesThanks. I've always found Porsche had excellent seats, but our cars have always had the powered highly adjustable seats. Which is fine, but I'd like my next 911 to be a back to basics car, such as the Carrera T.

We'll get the footage right next time! We were trying some new settings and believe we had them slightly off...

@@PorscheClubofAmerica thanks! no worries!

Agreed!

The roof is only 4lbs. You would be better off losing 10 pounds yourself…. 😊

@@tkm3207 🤣🤣🤣 off to the treadmill i go! Thank you!

Most definitely!

Never too late to learn!

The base 911 is really 420hp according to guys that have dynoed their cars. Its not that much slower than the S and for me its better because the smaller turbos act more like a NA motor. The GTS really kicks in on boost and behaves more like a turbo motor. That is the appeal to me for this car.

@@ericcarine7821 great reply. The LSD, PTV, and PASM with sport chrono and exhaust make this a more “drivers” car. With PDK or manual

Haha…..right. Because nobody is engaged on a twisty road paddle shifting a PDK….. 🧐🙄

Damon gave the 718 Cayman GT4 RS a 10.

Not for me :)))

The GT 4 RS is not exactly what you wanna have on a road. Apart from that: the Cayman is definitely the not so pretty little sister of a 911.

GT3 Touring…..10/10!!

With the PASM Sport suspension as standard on the T, it is lowered 20 mm compared to the base Carrera. It's low enough to really benefit from the front axle lift system.

When you compare it with this, ru-vid.comqjcHDxIhg6I?si=Ds-eoRueh0Json9M, I suppose it is. 🤔

Sport PASM is actually 10mm lower compared to the base model, which has PASM as standard. @@TrackMonkey327

my wife has a 991.1 GTS and it bottums out al the time it looks better but I am just fine with the Carrera T ride height for every day living@@TrackMonkey327

10mm I think is the correct answer….so .4”

Congrats, you just described every single one of the 25+ versions of the 911.

@@MrSchn3ll +1 ... Too funny. . Me? Owner of a parts-bin special; 1998 Carrera C2S coupe ordered new. .. Truly a P/B special...

The best cars i have owned are parts bin cars. You have to start with a sound vehicle and let the manufacturer fiddle with it. If they do a good job, the result is beyond the sum of the parts.

@@robertlevasseur6843 +1 .. Agreed. .. To the power of 10.

Funnily enough, consider getting a 993 C2S (already have a 964 C4) but the 992T also piqued my interest. I know, totally different cars but in their own right probably great. But I suppose the 993 C2S is one of the all-time greats@@michaelschneider-
