If you get the non-xenons, it states you save 6kg. I never thought it would have been so much.

Even on a Mini, the xenons are 14lbs heavier (that was the explanation from BMW why they didn't want to equipped the lightweight Mini GP with them). Xenons are heavy.

Interesting the front lift system in Germany is 2975 Euros, not cheap. It probably translates to $3500 in the US. The lift system is not available with the light weight headlights. So the lift system is probably heavy and defeat the purpose of the light weight headlights.

The engine dynamic mount is however only 1190 Euros ($1500 I guess).

Lucky the PASM is still standard.

Good Find MJones! Now yet another reason to be up late poking around!

JohnnyBahamas

Holy bananas! Now, THAT is superfluous bling-bling.

Very JC Whitney-esq, I do say.

CWay27

The centerlock wheels seem to be the only one available.

and i thought USA is the biggest porsche market. and i would think china would be bigger than GB....

i dont get the lift system. just ram the lip. who cares. my is very ragged and i love it.

i would do RS semi solid engine mount. it's fine on the street. i dont want "dynamic" mount that will break.

speedoflight

i don't get the lift system either. $3500 can buy you about 10-15 lips. should be more than enough for the length of ownership.

I would think this would be due to all the motors for the bi-xenon and the self leveling adjuster motor/sensors on the 4 corners + ballast, no?

...so true!!!! mine looks like I plow snow with it...if you wear them down enough, they stop making scraping noises

Damn...PCCBs, lightweight buckets, a couple of other goodies, and before you know it you're staring at $130k+ no-discount-MSRP. I think I'll sit this round out and either (1) pick up a used 997 GT3 from one of you kind souls in about a year when you get your 997.2 or (2) keep mine and find a nice late 60's 911 project for my dad and I to work on.

Hmmmmm....

Germany configuration shows the CL wheels with an "option" #, but no charge for it.

Czech and Germany config will not let you select the Club Sport Option (roll bar bolted in) without selecting the CL wheels and upgraded seats.

I understand the reason for the seats, but do not understand what the story is with the wheels as there is no other choice. Wondering if traditional 5 lugs might still be a posibillity.

Hmmmmm....

_rocket

Why? I would have thought PASM is heavy. What does it weigh?

mooty

right on. as good as PASM is, i rather have traditional coil over such as jrz, moton, ohlins or such....

and the less insulation the better.
