Are those Carrera Sport wheels with jet black metallic? I ordered them on my 718 CS due in June, but had never seen good photos of them (or in person). Beautiful!

Beautiful car. Love the rims on GT Silver. Porsche Roslyn is a great dealership, too.

Looks like we have another couple of LI'ers here! Let's go for a spring drive sometime late April...the drive to the North Fork is very nice that time of the year.

The wheels are Carrera Sport wheels with high gloss black. I must say the shine of the gloss paint is incredible, especially in the sun!

Those wheels really look great! I am biased since my Miami Blue base is coming across the Atlantic with the same wheels and paint treatment.

Did you do a side-by-side comparo against the Bose? Burmester in Mercedes uses Ribbon Tweeters and I loved it, but haven't auditioned the Porsche version yet.

I stayed away from Leather Interior, Burmeister and some of the performance options. The dealer tried, but failed to talk me into a glass sunroof. I didn't think it looked right on a white car. The is my first 911 so I thought I'd do a fairly popular build and I'll tweak things on my next car.
You are right that options add up so fast on 911 compared to other cars in the price range (e.g. Mercedes AMG GT, which has almost everything fitted as standard).

Porsche is the master of milking us in options. But you can find solace in the fact that $155,000 CAD is $115,600 USD these days. US base price for C4S is $110,000 makes me wish I purchased mine in Canada.

No just compared to every other car audio system I have had over the decades. The more I turn up the volume the more I hear a difference.

But you'd have to put up with our liberal views if you lived here.

My car is arriving into Emden on the 10th, sailing on the 31st. Hopefully they get it on an earlier boat!
