Interesting, good to know. I guess that could make sense. Originally I had specked a C4S and with in months of waiting I changed my mind with my dealership and told them inward a C2S (in manual for both cars). About a year into my waiting they offered me a C4S allocation wondering if I might change my mind. I was tempted but didn’t do it. Anyway, don’t ever apologize for only having a base Carrera or a PDK. I would’ve gotten a base Carrera if they were offered in manual (which I really wanted). It’s all the car you need and then a lot more. Incredible! And the PDK, as you’re well aware of is amazing as well. Your base with the PDK almost has an identical 0-60 rate as my S because the PDK is so fast and so good. Congratulations once more to you!
Wow! Either you were extremely lucky or I was extremely unlucky. From the the time I put down a deposit, it was 26 months until I received my 911. I waited 19 months to get my allocation (Carrera S). I’m happy for you. It’s a beautiful car. As for the 992.2 being hybrid, so it goes. Onward and upward. Eventually even the 911’s will be full electric and then they’ll be as fast as a Tesla (or most other electric cars. Lol!)
Thank you for your comment! I wanted Carrera C2S 7MT, but I was told that it would take a lot longer to get an allocation than the BASE. I didn't want to wait, so went with the BASE/PDK. I think I did OK though since they are all going hybrid or electric now, and I would only want 911 in ICE. 😁
IMHO 992.1 ICE powered is plenty fast. You don’t need that extra HP from the electric motor unless you’re a track guy. 911, even the BASE is already stupid fast. That extra speed of some milliseconds won’t get you much except maybe make your wallet lighter. I’m pretty sure 992.2 won’t be priced the same as 992.1. Porsche always raises the price around 10%. Just enjoy your new Porsche and drive.
Thank you for your comment! You’re right. I should just enjoy driving. I don’t care much for Hybrid, but I would hate to see my new Porsche look dated before I even get to drive…LOL.
