Good news about the stitching package. I have a December build so hope that will work.

Nope - It's still not possible to order PTS as it does not show up in the order system for the dealers. Once that option opens, my order will go in.
This is what dealer is telling me

One other thing I found interesting was that they have eliminated the hydraulic lifters for the rear engine cover. Instead, as you open it, there is a latch that clicks loudly and holds the engine cover open. There is a small release mechanism one would engage to close it.
They claimed its for for weight reduction, but sometimes I wonder if they hide cost reduction behind the weight reduction veil. How many ounces does a hydraulic lifter weigh? But i guess the weight reduction is the sum of many parts.

Dunno about the electronics, but just removing that stalk has to shave off about 50-60 grams, at least.

Yes. The seat stripe is standard on the LWBs. There is no difference in the seats (LWB or otherwise) regardless of whether you order the full leather interior. Full leather interior adds extra leather and stitching to the door panels, dash, and console. Seats and steering wheel already have leather (actually leather and alcantar for seats and choice of alcantara or leather for steering wheel)
Only way way for sure right now to delete stripes from LWB seats is to order Porsche Exclusive custom tailored seats, which costs $8500 additional, and which allows you to customize seats materials any way you want, including choice of leathers, alcantara, houndstooth inserts, stitching or piping in any colors you choose.
I heard from Porsche Exclusive that for production weeks 45 and later (info to come out mid June), there will be a deviated stitching package available to order with new GT3 that allows you to pick deviated interior stitching in some other colors besides platinum silver or red that are now offered. Option Will be in the $4K's. When selected in combination with the LWB seats, this will apparently delete the red or platinum silver stripes on the LWB seats to avoid clashing with other colors of stitching chosen.

Does anyone know if the 991.2 GT3 has the plastic / composite oil pan like the 991.2?

Hmm. That conflicts with much of what's been published, which shows PDK as identical and the manual as 37 lbs lighter. That's in the press materials and on the website... what was the source, and any chance of a misunderstanding?

The source was the head of sports cars for PCNA and no chance I misheard. Not saying it's fact but it's definitely what I heard.

If it was the .1 heavier than the .2 that would make perfect sense (manual transmission), but otherwise... Not sure where the 40 lbs would have come from either, as I can't see enough that's changed. Diffuser, longer stronger crank, N1 spec tires, etc don't seem to add up. And then admitting that the press packs and DOT figures are wrong? Will be interesting to get out the scales...
