I'm hesitating as well on the PSE even though everyone here will tell you it's a must. I really dislike the centered tailpipes, it messes the balance of the rear design IMO. I read/watched all the reviews and at least two said that the standard exhaust sounded great. But, yeah, a few others said that PSE "is a must have"... It will sound sportier and louder with PSE, there's no doubt about that. If I ever regret my decision to opt-out, there will be aftermarket solutions with performance gains in the future.
If I had to pick, I'd opt for Real-Axle Steering before PSE but that's personal. Read the Motor Trend review (they call it "a must have") and watch the Car Magazine video. They rave about the benefits of it. And that's something you just can't add after delivery.

I like options I can see- feel - hear- connect. Lights, heated seats, adaptive seats, sports steering wheel- exhaust.
Seems like awhile- my car locked 10/9 for a 12/28 build.

Many thanks for the picture! Makes me feel like I will stay with the Black/Bordeaux! My Targa top is Blue and it looks like it comes close to matching the Night Blue body.
Now for the PSE question. I'm pretty sure that the sound will be intoxicating...still don't like the look yet. Maybe I just need to get used to it.
As for the cut off date that I have been given, I, too, think that's not really correct. It is supposed to be produced in week 15, at least two weeks before I pick it up at Zuffenhausen. I will be pressing the dealer more next week to check again on that cut off date. When I ordered my 991 CS, it seems like the cut off was about two months prior to production. Based on that, the cut off for this should be in January.

On the euro delivery I just had a GT3 RS rennlist member use my travel agency for the planning of a 1 month itinerary. My mother is a world class travel agent from London & I'm a Porsche person & am familiar with getting around/driving in Europe. The cost? It is a no cost option. It will be one of my competitive advantages as I move back into the auto industry. FYI - I beat what Porsche NA had to offer as a resource by a mile, so I was told.
Wow wonderful build.. I like the idea of the blue top instead of black.. my gut said black then I digested what you said and think blue 100%.
I'm here via PM & email/phone -office hours if you decide to use us.
Congrats on the build.

Sold Bentley Gt V8 yesterday and C4S on order. The dealer said he secured the first C4S allocation in Korea which is Jan. build and March delivery. Here in Korea, Porsche is sold as much as 30% above US price, and that's why I got the Bentley, which is sold almost the same price as US, at the first place a couple of years ago. However, I missed 911 so much since my first and last one (993) 20 yrs. ago. It doesn't matter if I have to pay almost Bentley's price for nicely equipped 911.
My build is Jet Black Metallic with Black/Beige interior. Options include PDCC, PSE, Rear steering, Sports chrono, etc. I also ordered rear wiper...I know it is considered ugly and unnecessary by most people, but it brings me old nostalgia. Many 911s had rear wipers back in 90s even in US (Mine had too) Plus I think it still looks nice, which completes 911s rear look. Maybe it's just me. Now I just have to forget and wait.

The price of Bentley there is the same as US? That's why I often saw Bentleys when I visited Seoul this summer.
The 30%-higher-than-US price of Porsche is actually not bad, when compared to much higher prices in some places like Singapore or Australia.
The rear wiper on C4S is cool; I think it completes the look of the rear. But I don't like the rear wiper on Targa. Please post some pictures later after your new car has been delivered.

You say nostalgia I say cool. You'll have a very nice vehicle! I'd like to see Graphite blue/chalk interior. that would be cool on jet black metallic.

As for that combo: it's been a classic for German cars before Porsche existed, including classics like the Merc SSK (built from late 1929) and I recall seeing a 1930s Auto Union w/ that scheme.

However, in an encouraging sign, my dealer has recently had to order a quantity of the 1:43 models of the 991.2 GT3, which according to previous history, indicates that the actual model is about 12 months away.

991.2 GT3
No, you cannot order a 991.2 GT3 yet as there is nothing in the Porsche systems to place an order against. In my particular situation, I have signed a "reservation" form with my dealer which reserves the first production allocation the dealer gets.....but that is not expected to happen until late next year.

Getting closer ... I'm one who has to mull before I am content. Wish I had seen a GT3 RS in Lava to confirm my preference for this colour - it seems to bifurcate taste - which I kind of like, to be frank, not just a 'whatever' colour

@Chris3963 - what I thought, that it'd be something like launch +12m. I admire your fortitude I'm torn on doing something like that (reserve) or pulling trigger - in which case leasing over purchase - later on buying obtain the track-focused GT3 991.2. In meantime thinking along lines of:

I considered getting a used GT3 now instead of waiting but the prices are just crazy in Europe at the moment. Between 20-40,000 euro over MSRP and I am just not prepared to pay over MSRP especially when I believe that these prices will not hold much longer.
I would love to take delivery in Zuffenhausen but bizarrely, you can't from Belgium. Something to do registration taxes.

Yes, Great minds think alike....although I am picking up a new 991.2 4S in March. I intend to keep it when the GT3 ultimately arrives......but, I am sorely tempted by the new McLaren 570S.....so may just swap out the 4S for the Macca which would make a nice garage buddy for the GT3.

570S + GT3 = sick fun. My wife would say, "no way Jose!"
