More aggressive aero, the new spoiler they offer on the 991.2 is a bit of a joke.

Someone already mentioned a backseat option for the GT3

For me, HUD & top view cameras. The rest of the car is great as is.

I'm not super confident about HUD, given that they just launched a new Panamera without one. That is a spectacularly mind-boggling move, given other brands have had them since 2010, and the HUD really is the most transformative safety/driver focus feature. Though I guess Porsche has never had interior ergonomics as a strong suit.

The confusing thing is my 911 feels (and smells) way more luxurious than my Audi S6, with all the leather on the inside. So you'll forgive me for pining for some more luxo-tech features.

Going from not letting anyone have a camera inside the factory to having the assembly line on teh interWebs is a step I don't see Porsche's IP counsel letting the Marketing dept take.

Clubsport package in US
Five lug option for GT3/RS
Keyless start in GT3/RS

And of course - cartridge style stereo so I can pull it out and carry it around with me.

Would love a HUD. Shocked it's not available on such a drivers car.

and then Sport+
Best quote of the day! Make it "of year"

911 has the worst programmed tranny ever IMHO!

Nevada just passed a law making it illegal to drive in the left lane below the speed limit.

Wow, so it's illegal to go over or under in the left lane now? Have to set your cruise control and figure out your speedo's margin of error down to the MPH.

It won't matter. We have had a "left lane law" in Colorado for years. On roads where the speed limit is 65 mph or higher, it's illegal to drive in the left lane AT ALL unless you are overtaking another car. It is then required to move to the right when the overtake is completed.

99% of drivers don't know about this law. The other 1% are generally morons or self-absorbed a-holes. I rarely see this law being followed on our highways.

But good luck with the new law Nevada....

Yeah, not working for me here--and did not work for me when I lived in Alaska. In both places, the summer driving season is cursed with tourists and RV's. Maybe I need to move someplace ugly.
