The Speedsters and second batch 3RS are very rare cars if you also take into consideration the ITB set up( only cars in 991 range to have it), not 997 4.0RS rare but still very low numbers.

Will everyone ordering a Speedster go Heritage Pack

And

Will everyone ordering a batch 2 .2RS go Weissach Pack

If some cars are ordered without the packs the the final numbers of Heritage and WP cars could be even lower
All 3 2nd batch 3RS at my local dealer have been specced with WP.

The only reason not to go Heritage on the Speedster would be if you could get PTS maybe...although if you want to replicate that Heritage interior with CXX that combined with the cost of PTS would probably be more than the Heritage Pack!

Congrats on your Speedster..
All three 2nd batch 3RS are all also with WP..All three are also Black ones...I have thought about changing the colour of mine to another colour but having the WP narrows down the colour choice..
I quite like the Miami blue on the RS..I think the Speedster will also look good in Miami..

I asked about possibility of PTS allocation and received a death stare that told me in no uncertain terms it was a no go lol

As you say, trying to replicate the heritage interior or to do something else extra special via CXX would be very costly.

I believe the specs for these 3 are GT Silver, black and a PTS slot that was still to be decided upon when I spoke to them.

Miami would probably have been my choice if I didn’t go Heritage smile

Black on the 3RS with WP will look stunning. I have a black 997 GT2RS and the contrast looks great in the flesh. Not too in your face but still there enough to make it super special.

You'd have to be a right sandwich to get a 2nd batch allocation and not spec WP.
