Spend some time researching here on RL to see what you would actually want from the "secret" list of CXX options- i think there is a thread called "guide to CXX" or special requests or something like that. If your SA sucks, just start talking to another one- like casually, and just see who knows about it at your dealership. Most SA's do not need to know a ton of technical details- honestly, that's what the internet is for. Their job is to do paperwork and take heat from you when things go wrong.

Wise words but I'd take it one step further for a minimalist drivers car and scrap the PKD and RAS. Why have the car drive for you? I have a 991.2 GTS coupe with SPASM, MT and no RAS and it is plenty agile and a blast to drive. RAS only kicks in below 31 mph for turn in, hardly a game changer unless you are auto crossing. And the car is plenty stable at high speeds. IMHO. Minority opinion, I know.

PS I also have GT Silver with black leather interior and red belts. Its a good combination, but the GT silver is a classy / quiet color, almost subdued, be sure that is what you want.

BlueNorther -

PDK is a peice of tech i grew watching in formula 1. Always dreamed one day i'd be able to use flappy paddles. Plus in daily bumper to bumper crawling traffic a manual gets tired fast. I learned that the hard way.

Without RAS.. i might as well get a base Carrera.

Silver is definitely the color i want. I purposely went with dark grey for my winter car knowing Id get this a 911 silver - it highlights all the curves and lines of the car best. The other options either (yellow or red or white) two loud for daily driving or (black) mute the shape of the 911 too much. I would seriously consider the Chalk ... oh well.

Found out from a freind the PDK doesn't have PTV. !!!

How much of a big deal is this? .... want this to be the best cornering car i ever had ... losing the rear diff was hard but now I'm wondering if this is too much marketing

If you'd prefer ceramics but don't prefer the replacement costs, the solution for the GT cars (possibly upcoming for the T) is Surface Transforms. They make carbon ceramic rotors that are half the price of PCCB replacements but are safely refurbishable up to 4-5 times for only $2k per refurbishment of the whole set. Check out our website page for more details : )

If that is the case then go for PCCB's, they are a life of the car part. With just two exceptions. The first is if you are going to track the car hard and a lot. Odds are you could do a few track days a year for a very long time (and autocross all you want for like forever) and the PCCB's will be fine. Especially if when going to the track you are careful to always run with plenty of pad. The second is if you ding one. But as long as you are careful with that and not a track rat you can expect to never need another set of PCCB's.
Everyone grouses about the T not having S brakes when really the brakes are already far more than you will ever need or be able to use on the street. Stopping distances for all 3 are virtually the same. The real differences are in heat dissipation you will never even be aware of unless you are on the track, and brake pedal feel you will notice every time you so much as touch the brake pedal. Oh, and when it comes time to clean the wheels. Oh, and every time the car is in motion, and you are aware of the improved steering feel and lithe responsiveness of a car with 12lbs less unsprung weight per wheel.
