Thank you.

I guess the reason for having the car on the configuration is twofold:
- so those lucky enough to be allocated a car can play with their spec
- so the rest of us dreamers can pretend what we might have ordered
!

Why don't you consider a nearly new GT3 instead?

That is cruel!

I might do that. However, can you still factory order GT3s or are they the same as the RS?

All the first gen 1 cars are long since sold. There are rumours about a gen 2 car (see the thread on 991 GT3 prices), but plenty of deposits have already been taken and that car is likely to be at least 18 months away.

1800 mile run-in period mentioned above - how many trips to TESCOS is that for half of the gt4's and RS's we have on this site lots I guess!

Tesco? Nah, drive them to the OPC for a free coffee and a natter

Really envious you bagged the GT4/BS/991RS - and own the CGT.

Here is a note I did for Total 911 that I did on my Euro delivery of a 991 RS that might be of interest;

How long is the average time from the car leaving the factory to picking up?

How many of you guys that have ordered the RS have specified Sports Chrono Package.

I haven't, I can't see the use of it, whether I'm on track or not. Just couldn't see value in the £1000+ price.

Of course I may of just completely devalued my car to under list!!
Especially as it is also the "wrong" colour!

I can't see the value in it either but I ordered it just to be safe. Mind you, I also ordered illuminated sills and alcantara visors so I'm the wrong person to listen to.

Whose car is it? Answer. Yours! I'm sure like me you spent hours over many months, consummed vast amounts of wine fiddling around with the Configurator. Your chosen spec is just what you wanted. I've got sports Chrono, not sure what it does! Who cares I bought the car to drive, to love and Not to flip! Plus how can your RS be the wrong colour? That colour does not exist! Don't listen to the crap that some people post on this forum. We are very lucky to own a 991 GT3RS

It may not do all that much but the clock looks really nice and makes the whole dash look a lot better.
