Manual then .2 GT3. PDK then RS. Simple. RS is more special with wider body and lightweight components. But if you want manual there's no option there.

Correct - no sport chrono. I'll have to continue to use Harry's Laptimer although at my ability a sand filled egg timer would suffice.

Sorry for the slobber marks.......I was drooling on the car this morning when they were unwrapping it.

I live west of the city with some nice country roads. Look me up and lets scare some livestock when you want to open it up a bit.

PM sent - let's do it.

====> no chrono is a MAJOR PLUS. i pay 10k extra for cars with no chrono and wont take a car with chrono at 10k below invoice... you got the COOL RS ;-)

Now I can justify having that wing to anyone who questions it!

The wing is a tailgaiting accessory. How many cars have a built in table for food and beverages

Key aspects of the spec:
- White
- Leather Black/GT Silver
- Illuminated sills (could do w/o that)
- Wheels black
- Xenon/PDLS in black
- Red seat belts, fire ext, footwell net, ext. rng tank, smoking

Lightly optioned which I like. Would have probably specced FAL if I had done it myself, but I could go either way. I very rarely use it on the GT3 - definitely not at my house.

Congrats! Trying to pull off your negotiating skills but it ain't working

Nice!

I have a pic with my Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfai on the lid of the Ferrari. You should see the reactions of people. I will look to see if I can find the picture.
