Depends... If is your DD car you need FAL.
Indeed weight and complexity makes situation not ideal for a pure Sports Car.
RAS is must especially for Porsche newbies as rear engine cars needs big ***** to press the pedal in the middle of the corner in order to turn fast...
No matter FAL or RAS a 911 will be always a legendary car.

Wow, how much weight does FAL add to the car?
If I'm not wrong, I read somewhere that it adds around 20 lbs. I would say that is not that much for the usefulness it adds. It is actually way less than the additional weight of the 14 or 18 way seats, and I don't see anyone complaining about the weight penalty for that. 4-way are much lighter (60 lbs less?) and more comfortable. If anything, weight above the front wheels may actually be better on a 911.

I sincerely doubt 99.9% of the people reading this would be able to notice the 20 lb difference on a 911 used as a daily driver. Even on the track, unless your last name is Lauda, Senna, Fittipaldi, Barichelo or Schumacher, I doubt you would would notice it either. What you would notice, is the screeching sound of your front end dragging when you least expect it. But I guess different situations call for different options.

This is me. Just lwb and pccb (plus smoking package, net and extinguisher).
but surely there is no “bad” solution? Everyone is different, and in a different situation. I ordered the car I want. That doesn’t mean someone else’s choices are wrong. They are just not for me. People have such strong opinions about other people’s choices. If someone wants every option available I say go for it. If someone wants absolutely no options -same reaction from me.

As a newbie to Porsche, and 911’s, I think (and you see many saying this here) you can’t go wrong with any version of a 911. The rest is splitting hairs.
1025 miles in... i got to play with +4K on the rev counter. Wonderful. This T continues to meet and exceed expectations!!!!

...but for someone, this will be the perfect 991.2.
The T is going to be a relatively rare beast in the 991 world, with few identical cars, so I wish happy motoring to whoever ends up owning this T.

I’m afraid then my T is a triple travesty: FAL, rear wiper (meaning normal glass), and glass sunroof. But here’s the thing, I won’t track it and just simply drive. Having said that, I can only imagine how much sharper the “purer” builds are as it relates to handling, sound and performance, because so far, for me, the T is fabulous.
