IMO (which means nothing) Big Red S brakes should have at the very least been an option.

I don't think the PCCBs are worth the buy-in to me.

I really don't want 420 HP or the additional stresses on the engine internals that come with it.

I would love to have a nice basic 911 with SPASM, FAL and S brakes though. No RWS or PDCC.

Suppose I could buy a base 911 and build it to me specs with KW suspension etc....

The choice between MFSW to GT sports steering wheel, diagram is same right??

Also, I'm thinking about PCM now and you guy are right, reversing camera is important, potentially save lots of money in smash and repair. No hurts on $0. Also bose is free, so no way I don't pick that stereo if I tick the box for PCM.
back up camera is standard here....not there?

Nah, reserve camera is not compulsory in Australia, also we can have factory roll cage. Better than US (I'm not gonna talking the price, it makes me cry)

Great car - I'm looking at one as well but the PDLS on my spec comes up as a $6k option on my order so I didn't run with this. I'm also struggling on colours!

Are the 4 ways and 18 ways the same seat, but the 4 ways don't have the adjustments?

Read some debate for 4 way and 18 way, I think 4 way is enough. You better opt 18 way with entry & drive as it have memory function.

Default Configuration no. 1

A couple of configurations in different colors. I just can't see ordering this car without LWB and PCCB in a factory lightweight. Just me .. for a lot of people, those seats will be a serious comfort problem. I'm smallish and have had a few cars with constrictive sport buckets and find them comfortable. I guess the question is .. if you order this car for the long term and your 'of a certain age' .. will you be able to get in and out of it when you're 70?

#1. A tribute to my ex'58 356 ordered in what the factory simply called 'Orange' back then.

Default Configuration no. 2

Jet Black Metallic. I've never owned a black car, but on the 991 shape, it seems to work well especially from the rear.

I got standard headlights and they are better than anything I've been in before.

I have a black SQ5 and have had a few black cars. They look clean for about 10 mins after you wash it. Lots of black 911s.....go Orange!

Nice build, better have a leather interior, if you feel LWB is comfortable, then definitely get it!
I drove GT4 with LWB, back hurts after half an hour, so I'll pick $0 4 way this time. 18 Way is too much and I need entry and drive (NO)

That's one of the cool things about everything being optional and allowing you to build it pretty much as you like. After having entry and drive on my preowned .1 and my cayenne, I decided to go without on my .2GTS when I bought it. For $2000 I can put a key in the dash, but I wanted to spend the $$ on sports plus seats.
