[oddball1313]

What does the £700 option PDLS lights add compared to the standard LED lights ?
Also lowering the car by 10mm, is that the maximum option?
Sorry new to Porsche and playing around with the configurator atm

This spec would be fairly mega - http://www.porsche-code.com/PLAMDBG2 - my actual spec comes out at 105k, but I thought I'd have a go specing all the "money no object" options I like and this is what it came out at lol!

So, I chickened out on the Aventurine Green...., but kept my nerve for the Truffle Brown!

Deposit placed on http://www.porsche-code.com/PLX6ZTZ0. May delivery apparently.

Congrats! Do you know how far down the waiting list you were for May delivery?

Not really - there seems a lot of uncertainty over factory slots, models (the cab was expected to be announced at the same time) and delivery.

I'm happy to wait until May - April weather can have a kick up here.

Did the dealer have the Aventurine Green sample in stock? How did it look in real life compared to the photos of the green at the LA motorshow? the LA motorshow pics look like the green is really washed out to almost Grey....
That is quite a modest spec you have gone for....imo, I am really struggling to get my price below £120,000, but I am going 4S. I am really hoping the Ave Green is like the old original colour, otherwise I might have to go PTS Irish green..
I do like the Night Blue and Brown though:-)

Big spec! Very nice work. The only thing I'd question is the privacy glass...don't really like it on 911's but always spec it on the family car. Others may question Burmeister and PCCB's but love your enthusiasm... the configurator is a dangerous place. I worked out what I'd added to the cost of the last four cars I'd specced and wish I hadn't....it's enough to buy a very nice car!

I didn't ask to see the Aventurine Green - I had made my mind up before going. In hindsight I should have, but I probably subconsciously didn't want to be torn!

My 335D Touring will remain the winter/crap weather/daily driver, so I decided against the 4S and then forced myself to think about what I really needed with the spec of the two wheel drive S.

I think the standard spec is pretty good - initially I ticked the boxes for a lot more, but then deselected a lot of stuff. Adaptive Cruise, Matrix / PDLS Lights / PDCC & Rear Axle Steer / 14 or 18 way seats / Bose or Burmester Audio, all went.

I rationalised that for when I use the car, which will probably be 6-8K miles March - October, I really didn't need the extras.

I may regret it of course if I rack up more miles....

I'm waiting in the wings for the manual 400HP to appear before committing as i want to keep my GT3 as well..In terms of your spec i genuinely think its pretty awesome..The Aventure green with the Crayon stitched interior would be easily my first choice as this colour combo really suits the 992 IMO.

Very nice spec.

Have you gone for the leather seat backs? I think that to have spent so much on 18 ways and still have the plastic seat backs is poor form from Porsche. I have 18 ways and leather seat backs in mine and I think it really adds a bit of extra quality to the interior.

Leather seat backs not yet available on the 992, at least last week when I looked

Sports Seats as opposed to Sports Seats Plus, appear to have leather backs.

I may well wait for the standard 4 yet...
I have kept my 991.2 Touring... and 991RS and 991 2S and Macan Turbo.... Just don't want to sell any of them!!
It gets expensive keeping them all, and each one has its own story and purpose :-)

Oh yes.. really like that!

I think the standard exhaust looks better than the Sports jobbie.

Has anyone worked out roughly how much (like for like) more expensive the 992 is over the 991.2?

What colour is that ?
