First time seeing new Panamera in the wild .... downtown Boston, Dark Blue metallic, in darker color, looks smaller, like slightly stretched 911. But in the Boston travel mag in my hotel there’s a cool print ad for a 911, that it’s the iconic Porsche, and my heart flutters ...

1. Sports Pkg - wanted RWS, PSE, GT-wheel etc
2. PDK (track)
3. Lava - soooo many black/white/silver/grey 911s out there - and I wanted something that harked back to 70s RS
4. Glass roof - great for venting hot air; great for backroads' drive in spring/autumn; I like the light; and my cars always have one
5. All leather + lava deviated stitching (sweeet)

Regrets:
1. Should have got 18-way over 14
2. Still want a Targa some day - guess not a regret exactly as loving the CS
3. Black headlight PDLS surround - glaring mistake as rest of car is 'blacked', like lettering,blk leather
4. More deviated stitching on the doors

Sport Chrono
PDK- (although the manual is nice....but being practical and considering how FAST the pdk shifts)
Leather seats

SPASM or PDCC

So I have a 2018 911 GTS so it already includes the powerkit engine, PSE, SC etc. For the options not standard with the GTS, these are my top 5 must-haves:

PDK (shifts faster than I ever could)
RAS (really changes the driving dynamics of the car more than anything else - near the top of my list!)
PDCC w/Sport PASM (love the right with PDCC and flat cornering, SPASM gives you lowered ride height and sport setting which I use for autocross)
Premium Package Plus i.c.w. Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way) (because you get entry & drive, seat heating/ventilation, etc)
ACC (a must-have for me - it is great for long trips on the highway in traffic)

If I had to add a sixth, it would be Burmester - it sounds FANTASTIC! A really nice to have but not a must have.

For 991.2 GTS as below.
I am waiting the delivery in 2 months therefore only by feeling

1) PDK. I am not racing driver neither I believe I can drive better a manual car than a PDK.
2). LWBs. I know is not GT car but it is GTS and folding LWBs is a must.
3). RAS. Extensive analysis especially for drivers who have drive back to back cars with RAS and non RAS.
4). Steel brakes
5). No sunroof and RWD.

For me, since it's a daily driver (Current is 14C2S)

7MT
Blacked out PDLS LED headlights
RAS/PDCC w/ Sports PASM (love the right with PDCC and flat cornering, SPASM
Premium Package Plus i.c.w. Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (18-way) (because you get entry & drive, seat heating/ventilation, etc) Daily Driven so it's good to have this
Front Axle Lift - great to have in the crappy roads that have high or bad angle entries to parking lots or driveways in the bay area

Bonus- If I had a choice it would be a GTS 991.2

MT
SC
PSE is nice (but fairly mild)
PDCC / SPASM


I don't think I'd get the entry and drive again. It's nice, don't get me wrong... but I don't think it's worth the $ to have it on a sports car. Plus, the only time the frunk opens for me is when I'm washing the car and forget about the key in my pocket.

Past all that - I think less is more.
