I thought the 911R used the standard body and not the turbo/GT3RS widebody, but I could be mistaken.

Then that would include a lot of markup and already sold out before car comes.

yeah i've had a few black cars in the past. not doing it again. they look great when they are clean, but that ends as soon as you pull it out of the garage lol.

yes the f80 is superior in all those ways. i think it looks better than the e9x as well. but the f80's problem is that it only is fun at breakneck speeds. when i take it on the backroads its awesome, but around town it feels like a regular 3 series and not very involving. I'll still have my gt3 when i want to go quick and feel some Gs in the corners, and my civic for eating up commuter miles.

Mind you he is likely in the US and does not have access to ITB E36s. E46 has ITB but it weighs around the same as E92 M3 and with a higher CoG.

My Lloyd Designs rear carpeted shelf mat with black piping and white deviated stitching arrived. It's very well made and looks great in the car. It's too bad Lloyd lost the Porsche licensing. I would've loved to have had "PORSCHE" embroidered on the mat.

So... totally out of the blue, my local Porsche dealership emailed me to say that I have a 911 GTS allocation, for early September delivery (at MSRP!)
After nearly 2 years, I had been assuming this would never happen... so now I need to take a crash course in 911 configuration! (and apparently spend the next 3 months staring at an app on my phone wondering when the baby is going to arrive) Would greatly appreciate any advice on 'must have' and 'don't waste your money' options from others who have recently defected from BMW! |

I would suggest fully painted exterior mirrors, BOSE over Burm, the GTS interior package, stick with the base headlight (…unless the GTS comes native with an upgraded option), stick with the 4-way seats unless you're opting for CF buckets (…if it's the latter, pass on aforementioned GTS interior package), pass on RAS, FAL (…unless you reeeeeaaalllly need it), and PDCC, etc. Are you going PDK or manual? It'll be easier to build one and allow is to pick at it. P.S. The gloss black package with the gloss black center lock wheels looks really good. |

Then it's only logical to try out an E92.

And what you really need is the 7-speed manual with the Lightweight package & buckets.

I'd always do LED. If this car is going to be a daily, buckets will be a bit of a PIA because getting in and out of the car will be a hassle. With all GTS cars, at the very least GTS interior package as well. Then the rest has to do with your budget honestly.

just need to know your intended use. for resale i probably would check the FAL and LEDs. skip the awd skip the ceramics, you can paint the calipers black if it clashes with the paint color.

For me, ceramic brakes and some painted exterior accents are all I need. The full aero kit is a cheap add on to the GTS as well. No need for interior, lighting, or stereo upgrades but that's me.

Spec depends on the exterior color and the everything else follows. I would go Shark Blue, Aerokit, 18ways or Carbon Buckets if you don’t need rear seats, RAS is a must, Full leather interior with deviated stitching. Should be good to go👍 |
