Default Extended Range Fuel Tank

Does anyone know if the extended range fuel tank will be available for the Spyder? I didn't see it when I submitted my order (GT Silver / Classic / LWB), but it hasn't locked yet. New territory with a convertible -- always been a coupe guy, but this one seems to have a great sense of occasion!

The “extended range fuel tank” available only on the base 718 is 16.9 gallons. The standard tank size on the Spyder, GT4, S and GTS is 16.9 gallons.

Perf thank you! One more question: why do they include the sport chrono free on the Spyder, but charge for it on the GT4?

The functionality of the SC with the base GT4 and Spyder is the same with the exception of the clock. SC is a lot more than a clock. The marginal cost increase is for the lap trigger timer for the GT4. SC functionality is already included.

Sport Response Button (pdk)
Launch control (pdk)

Rev matching in sport or sport + (MT)
G-force meter
Clock with lap timer
Sport screen on PCM for lap analysis (and draws laps on PCM screen as you go around)
Ability to download performance data to your laptop
Upshift indicator in MFD
Mode dial on steering wheel which also adds I-mode
Relaxed point at which PSM kicks in (i.e. allows more yaw)
Increases idle speed
Opens additional symposer tube for better sound in compartment.
Changes RPM limiter to sport from normal.
Rear axles steering, PASM, PDCC, PTM and PTV go to sport mode (Sport mode for PTM and PTV doesn't exist in a RWD carrera with a MT)

Your list has already been debunked here.

Misinformation verboten.

If I remember correctly the smaller tank enabled Porsche to quote a lighter weight for the 981.
