Love the car, GT3 Touring and the options I selected. My only regret is trading in my old 997.2 C2S spd manual for it, should have kept both cars.

Even though radio-delete makes my Touring almost unsellable, I still do not regret it.
I kind of regret getting foldable buckets, I think for my use sofas would have been better.

I would have ordered PCCBs.
I would not have ordered the LWBS (mines a Touring, should tour no?)

Good question. Thought hard about this... I am really happy with how the car turned out and all the options I chose. One thing I am still on the fence about though, are the headlights. I had specced the PDLS (with black inserts) and was happy with that. But then suddenly the window for the deviated stiching opened (I did try to spec it from the start but that wasn't possible in beginning January -18) and since the order hadn't locked, I went for that. Since DS is on the pricey side, I also took out the PDLS:s to keep the total price somewhat balanced. I don't regret it, I rarely drive in the dark, but I sometimes wonder how the car would have looked.

I hope the 992 touring has back seats and PDK. Basically give me a current 992 S with a GT3 motor.

Funny, I feel the same way about my 2017 C2S, should have kept it, it was a Swiss knife and everyday driveable, as opposed to RS

I'd be curious to know how many guys with regret, also had a configurable allocation. It would seem as if you had time to spec out your car, you'd likely have less.

I regret getting the sofas in my Touring, foldable buckets would have been perfect for me, now that I it's my weekend car.
We are probably living on different continents, I'm in Dubai if anyone wants to trade their foldable buckets for sofas + $$.

My favorite option so fast has been the painted vent slats in chalk, also the vents surrounding leather looks very nice in person.

No regrets. If I were to order the car again, I'd spec it exactly the same.

  • Full Bucket Seats
  • Smoking Package

I still remember when you got it. One of the first Tourings in the US, correct? How many miles so far?

This.

Spec'd a GT4 so I knew what I liked and from that, and what I wanted to do differently on the GT3. Had the car for almost six months and there isn't a thing I would change on it.

The $540 key pouch!

Unfortunately, I didn't make the cut to spec out my own... I was lucky enough to come across an unallocated car that was 100% of what I wanted and 10% of bloat I could have done without.

Who in their right mind spends $540 for a leather key pouch / painted key??? I could have also done without auto-dimming mirrors, painted side skirts, black wheels (anyone wants to trade???) and some other cosmetics...

I wonder if its a joke with Porsche - to see how many people they can get to pay $540 for that key pouch... I just cant get over it.

I did spec mine with the painted key and concur waste of money. So is the aluminum look gas cap. Those my choice.
However I will say that my sales person was adamant about me getting the extended dash leather and the Alcantara visor. I was very skeptical; however he was right. One of the better options on my car. Honestly notice it almost everyone I get in the car
Also glad I got the LED without black optics, which I think make car look like panda eyes
