992 - anyone specing one yet?

[PS2018]

Those of you with undelivered 991.2 orders/deposits paid but spec not locked down, does the OPC allow you to change your order to a 992 if you wanted to?
I appreciate it would likely add 6 ? months to the expected delivery date.

I'm worryingly tempted by the green.....

What's the feeling on PDCC and Rear Axle Steer? They aren't cheap.

Very nice, I really like the green and the interior combo. I have had 911 with and without rear steer, not a huge difference to me. I won't bother again but I would defiantly have power steering plus.
Nice spec!!!

The green is nice, especially with the brown leather. Personally I wouldn't bother with PDCC and RWS. I've driven a PDCC equiped 991 and it really robbed you of feel which for a daily driver is really important in my eyes.

That’s interesting, thank you - What are the Power Steering Plus differences?

I won't be buying a new 992, which is a shame as I've come up with the best one: https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/def...

If anyone could get this, I can promise it a home when you come to trade it in.

What kind of lead times are you guys being told?

I floated the idea of GT silver and Brown passed my dealer, whose response was it would have problems come resale time. I think it looks great though.

I'm not sure I'm brave enough for Green and Brown....

it depends on how long you wanted to keep it for I suppose. I think it looks great, but given this is an early car in the models life, I'd like to be safe in the knowledge that I can chop and change with as little hindrance as possible as!

Currently got a 718 GTS in Graphite Blue, only done 600 miles in it since getting it in April (not getting much use down to the lack of rear seats in fairness) so considering maybe trading in for either a 991.2 or a 992 - but I like the Alcantara so may hang back until they announce the 992 GTS :/

This is the spec I think I'd go for: http://www.porsche-code.com/PL91M1J3

I don’t believe OPC’s have build slots yet and haven’t officially been told when manufacturing starts but guesstimate is March/April

Yup.

Mines been allocated a comms number and due March.

I wouldn't go all brown ie with the brown steering wheel. I saw a 991 TT that was silver with half brown interior and it looked amazing

I've just specced a C4S to £117k, needed to add spec to at least come close to the spec of my current 991 TTS. That's still without Burmester, only 14 way seats and no PCCB.

so what colour is the dash top and steering wheel, Black?

Pretty sure it was black. I had an Agate grey TTS that had two tone luxor beige. Dash top was a very dark brown and I'm sure the wheel was black. Always got complimented on it

Poor resale values are even better from my perspective! Someone get one ordered!

[Davislove]

how do you get the 360 view to work on the configurator? still doesn't work after I installed the plug in

[delays]

Big fan of the green leather, looks amazing with the silver - the exact spec of a 993 Targa I had a ride in as a child.

Interesting things to me: choice of gloss black brake calipers - Porsche used to be very prescriptive with colour. Also - no headlamp power wash? Gone are those little nubbins in the bumper.
