Who would order their car Scaramonga-Style? Why does anyone want polythelia on their dash? Seriously, I don't understand why people like this silly chronowart. It is just distracting and unharmonious. It has no use.

PS - Check your milkline for supernumerary nipples.

Looks like a lot of 991 GT3 owners in the City. See you on the FDR Drive catching some air!

I'm an MD and when I'm not driving my GT3 I'm riding my Ducati or BMW HP4 on a track. I can drag my knee and keep up with the best of them. A lot of my doctor friends fly their own small planes. To me that's more dangerous than what I do. Not all doctors drive a lexus and play golf

I'm also out here in the Hamptons. Let me know when you are here. We'll go for a drive on the back roads

I assume you mean full leather as in door panels ,front of dash, etc. If you ordered extended leather dash ($1700 option with stictching on all speaker and air vent surroulds and directly under the windshield), it's a 2015 and have the rectangular grill you are the first.

I believe all 2015s actually have the round speaker if you have the sound plus option. I have that without the extended leather--ie if you look closely you can see the round shape under the rectangular grill. Why Porsche has decided to have stitching around it in the extended leather option is just kind of aesthetically puzzling.

All I have is the photo I posted - I have sound package plus, extended dash in leather, red stitching, and sport chrono and it doesn't look round

Yes with extended leather dash and sport chrono you get the trapezoid speaker opening. No sport chrono then round speaker opening. This resulted in me canceling extended leather dash with my non-sc build.

They definitely have figured out a way to psychologically compel you to get 5 options when you really just want one... Like a gateway drug from the $134k car to the $160k final product.
