It is incredibly nimble with almost perfect steering and having such a large section with tire in the rear (305), it just grips at level that can't be matched other than by a super car. Depending how it is spec'd, I'd put it up against a 991.1 GT3.

Although it only has 370hp, it's quicker than a 991.1 GTS and Car and Driver managed a 11.9 1/4 mile at 118mph in the base 991.2 Carrera with PDK. That is no slouch.

This car will used at the track and around town, a poor man's GT3 if you will. However, at $120k for this particular build, one could have a 991.1 GT3 therefore there is a compelling argument against the T. However, it's much more understated which is compelling to many. If anyone gets the opportunity I encourage you drive one.
I had to quote you with the photo of that awesome 911T - looks so nice and clean.
When I read this thread, I got all excited - perhaps now I can finally afford a new 911. So over to the Porsche Australia website and built my base model 911T.

With no options, it came to US $185k !... maybe next year (actually, the year after, when private school fees are over )
