On the previous GT3 the anchor points for a child safety seat tether were located on the rear deck, I assume those are similar.

ok makes sense.

They should make the rear deck see thru so we can see the engine!

Yellow really looks amazing, but it forces you to get ceramic brakes so you get yellow calipers. The grossest color combo is yellow with red calipers.. Friggin Ronald McDonald. So look at the color as a $9000 option color where the throw in the ceramics for free. Using this contorted logic, it's only $4000 more than PTS and the ceramics are still free. :-)

Also good to get an answer to a previous question I had, which was whether the contrast stitching extended to the carbon back sport seats if you got full leather with contrast stitch option. Looks like it does :-)

On 997.2 it did, so I am guessing it would for 991 too.

The problem with Racing Yellow is you must decide between Ronald McDonald or a mismatching yellow on the PCCB calipers.

Why not paint the red calipers in Racing Yellow... Seems a lot cheaper to me

Clearly, however, red with yellow calipers isn't a problem.

Besides, if you're going to get PCCB's the only color that truly "matches" is refrigerator white.

Just teasing, white lovers......

@Mike in CA -- No worries. The white paint is lighter in weight. =P

That's right a fact in fact.
That's why they are so fast. Red clearly is a heavy slow color.

Then you'll definitely be called a "poseur"...

Red with yellow calipers is almost as bad as yellow with red ones. Red with red is boss... But I begrudgingly admit that white with yellow screams "racecar" quite nicely

Well CAlexio, aside from the fact that I respectfully disagree, being more concerned with whether the color matches than whether you've got the best performing brakes on your car is tip-toeing perilously close to poseur territory!
