Autoblog is a joke, has been in fact for some time. All the good ones left for other posts.

Just an interesting fact posted by JCBH, that's relevant for any R customers trying to come up with the lightest build (I remember people talking about this a while back):

An interesting tidbit that I found very surprising was that all of those people that opt out of full leather due to weight have it wrong: on the 991 it is actually lighter with full leather (was the opposite on the 997)! Fun little fact. My car must be really light due to all of the leather bits!!

Thx guys.

Full leather is the way to go now!...

insane yes, but true
surely there are other complex argument we can discuss til end of time, but in one simply stroke it's the "R"

much like e = mc^2 more or less defines everything

no, I don't have an "R" wash wah wah

Hello Mooty. Asking price wise, that is the minimum I hear going around. The high end wants $300K.

But from what we have read by far, just an amazingly well put car. Pure unadulterated fun car.

Drive safe,

Those brown seats just don't match the black interior. They look like an afterthought or like someone couldn't afford to buy matching seats so slapped in whatever color they could find.

That will happen - with the GT3. It will be 90% of the R, maybe more. If you care for the stripes, you can add them too as seems to be the trend among 991's lately.
