Separate Sport settings for throttle and suspension, enabling Sport throttle with Normal suspension (or vice versa).

5. Built in dash cams
6. Real parking brake or at least put the button in the center
7. Choice of sport plus without the giant clock in the dash
Great list, plus the also mentioned heated SD steering wheel.

I have the base stereo. If there's a way to get it to stay off when you turn it off and have it not come back on when you start the car I'd like to hear it. I've been switching to "aux" every time I turn the car off and I can see it has the power on.

Chuck, this is again proof positive that you really need to buy and drive the newest 911 someday. Because we already have this option. Now, go eat some turkey, ya turkey!

Yeah, that's how it works now. What's still needed (and what he may have meant) is the ability to separate PDK shift point selection from throttle response. Most of the time, I'd rather have the higher shift points enabled by Sport mode with the lazier throttle action of non-Sport.

It's possible that the Sport button has some sort of fine-structure effect on the suspension response, but I've never been able to convince myself of that one way or another. The dedicated PASM button has an unmistakable effect in both Sport and non-Sport modes.

Adjustable pedals. I've got a PDK, not because I wanted it - rather that the ergonomics weren't right for the wife on a 7MT test drive. Dealer suggested she keep a 2nd pair of shoes in the car.

Note for other men out there - you never tell a lady that her shoes aren't right...

I have text to speech but it is not automatic. One must access the text and hit the "read out" feature.
