If so, my anti-FAL resolve might be slipping.
Just check the box, you won't notice the difference until you need to use it somewhere and then you will be glad you did.

If you need FAL one time, you need it. You will need it.

You will never notice the weight difference.

Apparently Porsche is confused as to which Spyder I have on order… Screenshot taken from the MyPorsche app that tracks the progress of your order…

Take the 918 Spyder for sure! At the price of a 718 Spyder RS

If it makes you feel better My 3RS identifies as a 718.

Wish Porsche had made the top out of two removable CF panels like the CGT/918 instead of this flimsy thing.

What a disappointing video. Why take GT cars on a wet track and grade them against each other? I don’t understand the point. No one in their right mind would be thinking “do I get an Aston or an M5?… oh wait, the M5’s all wheel drive is better than an Aston RWD on a wet track, I’ll get the BMW! “ .seriously…
