You do realize that as a customer order this a 'custom' order right?

You can't keep making changes up to the build date, how are they supposed to get the options together for your car and have them available for assembly?

V250 is 'lock', not 'are you sure'!

Is your sales team still around? If not, what will you do for customers who's cars are delivered during the closure?

Looking at you Park Place Grapevine!
Glad to help anyone on here with internal / order stuff. Won't be leaking any info of the Company, but can cut through the weeds for most anything. Have a great week!

makes perfect sense the way you explained it, was just hopeful someone can go grab the bose upgrade for me.... I never even considered it before....Now I will have to get an exhaust upgrade to hear joy.

just trying to gauge its popularity, with the significant up charge.

Any with PTS or other unusual or CXX options ?
Any deleting the ac or PCM ?
I did the burmester last time and I am definitely doing it again. I think it is worth the money imho.

The following comes from "Technical data" from the configurator website:
Terrain features
Slope angle, front/rear (steel suspension)
7.3 - 10.8 °
Ramp break over angle (steel suspension)
10.7 °
Max. ground clearance (steel suspension)
83 mm.

The following is the data for the 718 GT4:
Slope angle, front/rear (steel suspension)
6.4 - 10.7 °
Ramp break over angle (steel suspension)
10.6 °
Max. ground clearance (steel suspension)
82 mm.

The GT4 is worse due to the deeper front splitter.

If you are still concerned, the suspension on these cars is adjustable. Off the top of my head, the ride height can be increased over 15mm from stock.

These ARE low-slung cars (compared to 911s and Boxsters I see at work) but manageable.
Yes it is manageable but I wish there was a LIFT option. I replace my lip twice and it does get be a headache always worrying about the lip!

Just heard from the SA about the Alcantara delete option. It is CXX at >$8800, just for the seats!
Seems it would be straightforward to drop in a couple of 992 sport seats in.
Well The decision just got much easier.
Will stick with just the s wheel and shifter.

It would be 991(or 981) seats - the 992 is a different style.
The Cayman/Boxster is the only thing left on that style of seat now

CXX should be changed to be C$$ !

Which seats were you opting for?

or get the buckets and replace the Alcantara centers with a different material. I already bought the 911R inserts to do just that.

My SA reccomended against it, so I'm getting a second set of rims (well I was doing that anyway). The new reviews say it's now a much noisier car now with the stickier tires. YMMV

I can't imagine it's much less than what my 6GT3 had. Once you get used to it, it's second nature to know what to look out for and how to handle it.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Just the Alcantara replaced with smooth leather on the standard seats and doors. Looks like they really don’t want you to change the look.
Was anyone able to determine the aural difference between vehicles with and without the particulate filter? I do realize that they are in two different markets so a side by side may not be easy or possible. It may be possible to record the 2 cars with the same equipment under certain controlled and reproducible conditions, on different continents.

I tried this with my 981 GT4. At that time they would only allow the above change if it was part of a larger unique CXX build. Something like LTS and PTS in a unique combo. I too had no intention of putting $30k into getting rid of the alcantara
