Looks like US cars are different:
Orange corner lights
No folding seats to add insult to injury for thos that don't even want CS
Goofy leather bumpy things below the head rest
Smaller plate space in the rear bumper; Is it the same material as the ROW cars?
XM wart
No Clubsport roll bars, steel or Ti, Harnesses or power cut available, not even in a box. Never mind the front cage or anything else that keeps you alive at the track.
What about the Canadians, do they get ROW cars or US cars?
Since Porsche wont even sell me a watered down version; I wonder what it takes to grey import a real CS RS.
Import is just proof of payment and Title.
Its Florida DMV, I'll title anything with a VIN.

Only exception is the 25 year rule. You can import it if older than 25 yrs.

BMW got a cage past NTSA with the M4 GTS, still can't figure out why Porsche can't get it done........ The wart is prob a PCNA deal as all cars have the rear camera now and so why not have all with SAT wart. Still I'm just glad I'm getting one

It has something to do with the total number imported into the US (~400), which from what I understand allowed for an exemption.

I don’t mind the 34 airbags, the backup camera, the feds making it hard to mow down and kill pedestrians but I don’t get the part where landing on the roof with a 3 Point seat belt @ 175MPH is OK .. When the manufacturer clearly recommends Roll bar, 6 Point seat belts and offers it for free..
Feds must like to get lawsuits.
Porsche should run from that kind of liability by selling it “offroad only”
Its about as risky as tracks forbidding track guys to run windows closed.
1-800-411-pain anyone?

Sorry if this has been already addressed, but does anyone know if rear wing end plates on .2 RS are interchangeable with those of .1 RS? It's rather meaningless cosmetics, but prefer the smaller size of the .1 end plate and was curious. Finally saw a .2 in person while on vacation in Europe...the .2's appear to have considerably larger end plates.

Canadians get crippled US cars - thanks, Obama (jk). We sometimes do get some minor things that are disabled in the US by software but enabled in Canada on some car models, but most manufacturers don't bother and send us the same crap. Don't forget no active matrix headlights - those are amazing in new cars in Europe - literally like driving with high-beams on all the time without blinding anyone. Illegal in North America. You know like they say - "it's so good it should be illegal". It seems DOT lives by that motto.

my SA emailed me yesterday with the option to move my october PTS requested build up to a july non PTS build with an august 3rd build completion date. as much as i wanted a gulf blue RS, i don't think i would love it that much more than a lizard green car when taking into account the extra PTS cost, extra wait time, and most importantly the roller coaster of the PTS process. pretty pumped to be getting the car sooner. now just need to get a garage lift asap.
