Default Happy New Year! The Stripper is coming!

I know why you clicked on this thread. You pervert.

I got news that warmed me this cold winter morning. Submitted the configuration to Porsche way back in July, car is to be built next week, arriving mid-March. The only options that cost money are GT Silver color, full buckets, FALS, fire extinguisher, auto mirrors and wipers, Chrono package. The last two I added, just because. I also wanted the steering wheel and gear lever in leather not alcantara, and I went with PDK because I have been heel toeing my C4S on track for the last 16 years, so kill me

Thanks. This will be a track car with occasional runs to the grocery and the coffee shop. Planning on putting in 2,000 street miles, then putting in a roll bar and hole in the passenger seat for the harness. I've subscribed to orthojoe's thread, and anyone else who track prep their cars, to see what else I can do.

The sad thing is, I knew you meant your car. I've got to spend less time here...

I order mine MT but only because I have an RS. PDK is much faster IMO.

I love seeing lean builds. I wish I wasn't a sucker for options. I bet my dealer makes more off my options than your dealer makes on your entire car.

Congrats, and great build. Very similar to my stripper which wears a little less (no wart) and is black.

Consider scrounging a few pennies for the $140 extended range tank though.Edit: clicked on your code and it does not have FAL even though your post say you ordered FAL. Might want to check your order.

Finally, a thread worth reading. I built mine the same but I passed on the shoes....
