Open top. genuine lightweight,9K NASP screamer with a 6 speed manual.........heaven.....!!!
^^ this. Have the same cars and took the spyder for a change up along skyline with the kid for breakfast (alice’s) this weekend. It’s so much more of an experience in the Spyder than the GT3 (on the road) - because of top down and engine sound + the limit is much more road appropriate. Couldn’t imagine that with the “screamer”!!

What is the heritage package? If it means without it you don’t have to have the front bumper in primer and the strange mirrors, but can have that gorgeous interior - how do i get one in Irish Green???

You do Irish and I’ll do that other green color.

Porsche NEEDS to offer a factory green on this car. Mamba from the Panamera would be a good choice (it looks similar to Long hood era metallic green) as well as anything that looks like a vintage color — olive, willow, radium, leaf, Irish, Smyrna, auratium, fjord, Palm, jade green metallic (356 era), lago — SOMETHING GREEN. It will sell, look at the take rate on lizard.

Ok cleaning ladies, when does the production car get announced so I can place my order?

and then thereare guys like me and my friends who put on 1500 miles immediately doing European delivery. When I sold my 997 Speedster, it had over 5k miles on the dial. Drive it, enjoy it, and if you break even, call it a bonus. If you don’t, that’s a car for you, it depreciates; some less than others.

Lots to like. Love all the details and one of the best interiors Porsche has done. First thing I'd do is add BBS Mg wheels. Too bad we won't be able to order radio delete....

Probably a good thing I'm not a fan of Speedsters.

BTW, just a few weeks ago, I sat in (what I believe was) a 964 Speedster with only a few hundred miles on it. Only thing I could think of was What a waste.

This is the perfect car for Porsche Circle Jerks who, on Mondays, are counting down the days until their weekend Cars & Coffee get together.

You're always Mr. Porsche cheerleader. What's wrong?

The radio delete shelf is $115 from suncoast and it won’t be much of an imposition to pull the speakers to get you 95% of the radio delete weight savings.

Possibly, but if reverse cameras are now DOT requirement it's likely going to be checked during inspections. In MA they just installed live cameras - four to be exact - in all inspection garages.
A better solution would have the back camera feed into the LCD panel on the right side of the five-gauge cluster. That way radio delete remains a factory option and the back-up camera still functions.
