Hey guys....Thanks for all your input, greatly appreciated as always even though my profile shows like 9 posts or something....I was a previous member here years back but closed my account.
So regarding this T I'm looking at, I'll be speaking with the dealer in the next couple weeks and see where we're at and if we can put a deal together.
Thanks again

I did not get the rear steering on my T, don’t notice it as to don’t know what to don’t know! My sales advisor recommended me to save my money as I don’t track the car and will never really notice the difference

The choice is yours but if you are picky about options you may as well order and if so, sooner than later is best since they are not going to make that many more based on allocations.

I opted for the bi-xenons over the LEDs. The bi-xenons were plenty bright enough for me (I had them on my previous two 991S's) and it was money I would rather put elsewhere in the car.
RAS is fantastic.

When the Porsche factory team was doing their 991.2 track testing on the Nordschleife, they found that just the addition of RAS and PDCC options resulted in a 30 second lap time improvement! The 991.2 GTS with those options turned a sub 7:24 on the Nordschleife. Faster than the 991.1 GT3!!

If you have a chance to drive with RAS you will understand why so many of us like it, and if you drive one with it and one without right after each other I think you will feel it is worth the price. I was amazed at how it made the car feel when turning, changing lanes, etc. and I ordered it my soon to arrive Targa GTS.

Got anything to back that up? The weight I mean. Would really like to see the data, not that I care one way or the other, but as I posted earlier, this seems counterintuitive.

Someone on the GT board has posted the weights. Base xenons, then PDLS, then LED. I think the motors for the PDLS are the biggest weight add but what do I know.
It is also why non-PDLS xenons are stock on GT cars and why the LEDs are a free option on the GT2RS.

Cool, thanks! Found the thread. Seems that the consensus (of 1 or 2 people) is probably about 10-12lbs and that's going from non-PDLS to LED. Regardless, I'm not going to argue whether 10lbs is much in the scheme of things, but then again I ordered 18-way seats. Of course, I got PCCBs too, so those save 40lbs and I'll stick with the brighter LEDs Bottom line, you can't go wrong with either.
