This.

A deliberate styling-based deletion of the " because track car " GT3 wing , but I predict many will then be ordered in a bright PTS green , orange etc that would make any Lambo Huracan lover feel right at home , along with all sorts of CCX or aftermkt door and hood decals/stripes to mimic the broad range of 911R colors/graphics we've seen

Still waiting for the # of confirmed Touring orders here....

I'm indifferent toward the wing since the US is dragging its feet on building autobahns here. Until then, I have plenty of fun on the track with or without one, and the wing just blocks my rear view the rest of the time.

IMO

A. They need to sell more 2 door cars. Of any kind. Check the decline in sales of these (911 + 718) over the last 5 years and you'll see.

B. A response to this sentiment "....Because the R is hyped so much, it has tripled its value, which is astonishing and almost frightening. That wasn’t the intention. If you have a car like the R, you might shy away from driving it. My cars are built for getting driven and I don’t want them standing around in dark garages collecting dust.”

In short, increase supply of that which will hammer the resale value of the R and other GT car garage queens.

I love the wing. And since no additional seats in back, the touring package is of little use. May Build, manual transmission.

My dealer told me that I can't change my Sept 22nd build order to a later allocation. He told me all allocations are full. I'm willing to wait for a Nov 6th build for the Touring pack.
Am I being given a line of BS?

Of course, my dealer is charging me $20k over sticker. Maybe I'm the only one of the "next" in line that is paying over. The dealership in the past had a no over msrp policy but changed it last year.
