Quick heads up for those who have Speedster allocations ... PCNA sent a note about this to the dealerships and your SA should have told you but I'll post it here jic.
In the configurator it used to just say "2-Zone Automatic Climate Control" ... now it says "2-Zone Automatic Climate Control incl. Air Conditioning"
If you don't pick the 2-Zone you won't get air conditioning. A lot of people (including myself) didn't click on the option assuming that the car came with AC and the 2-Zone was an additional feature and their build locked that way (mine hasn't yet) and it has been a pita to remedy.

Will PTS with LTS be more desirable in years to come than the Heritage Pack? A PTS 4.0 RS is more desirable (& worth more $s) but the car was otherwise identical to the Black and White standard colours. Heritage has some unique features i.e Black calipers, bespoke interior, gold lettering...

I'd say Heritage Package. Unless your PTS is heavily CXX optioned to truly make one of one.

Black calipers?
Have Porsche gone mad ?
LOL
While Ferrari gladly charge thousands for your caliper color choice, Porsche has shunned these easy profits for years. Perhaps the lure of easy money is starting to appeal ...

Black - Base (free)
Silver - Used to be used with AWD 911 models
Red - S/GTS/GT3/Spyder-GT4/Turbo (means you upgraded from the base vehicle)
White - new Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) - silicon carbide long lasting, low dusting (costly option)
Yellow - Turbo S (993) Iron or PCCB Carbon Ceramic (very expensive option or standard on expensive cars like Turbo S and GT2)
Acid Green - Hybrid models (expensive)
So by letting people choose their own colored calipers, it diminishes the show-off quality of the above colors that is aspirational for people to upgrade to a more expensive model vehicle or brake option...

I think Porsche was relying on their "branding" strategy of coloring various brake options the same to sell more expensive vehicle and brake options:
Black - Base (free)

Order freeze on Heritage package. If you didn't already have it on your build, it cannot be added at this time.
All dealerships should have their allocations by now.

Dealers don’t care and don’t see it as a penalty. Easy for them to pick the options and there will be someone that buys it anyway. Easier to deal with. My local dealer is getting one and they had interested parties (even one that would pay $50k adm) and they still decided to spec it themselves and are waiting for it to show up on the floor before they sell it. I’m in the development business and when I have a hot commodity, I would do the same thing.
