they should change that name from "smoker's package" to "outlet package". I know europeans like to smoke, but don't they know what a negative connotation it brings in the US? Smoking is not only disgusting, but has almost become a proxy for uneducated cave man/woman. In this area, the only time you smell cigarette smoke is when you go into a convenience store, tattoo parlor, or pass by a construction site.

Wow...all I can say as I light up a Gloria Cubana Series R No. 5. I am a cave man I guess. BTW, I could never live there.

Hm. Rear axle steering apparently no longer available on the 4s, and no GTS available.
Everything I read is that it's considered a must.

But I havent driven with and without.

Anybody who has 'back to backed' got an opinion? Should I go hunting for a GTS allocation somewhere or just wait for a used with RAS? Other than that one omission I can order exactly the car I want.

Hm.

Search this forum on RAS and read the threads, which will show that more than not prefer it. I drove both and ordered with, but you should do the same.

I’ve driven both back to back. Previous 911 didn’t have it, current Targa does. For “normal” street driving, it doesn’t make a substantial difference in my opinion. Perhaps on the track or more aggressive street driving than I do, but I wouldn’t pass up a chance to order new if that was the only option holding me back.

RAS is one of my favorite things about the car.

I feel the handling and manuverability is by far and away better than anything else I’ve ever driven.

For what it’s worth, I went from a highly optioned C2S with RAS to my Targa 4 without RAS and don’t miss it. My allocation options were either the base or GTS and was having difficulty rationalizing the $25k difference. Now that the Targa 4 has approx 2k on the odometer, the transmission feels better, the exhaust sounds better and there’s more than adequate power for the street. I have expresso natural leather without deviated stitching and am very happy with it although the aluminum trim does show finger prints and have to say the carbon fibre in my C2S (black interior) looked great. I preferred the more subtle black targa bar and love not having to clean the black exhaust tips ! Hope this helps ...

Good job justifying the 4 over a GTS; however, I stlll prefer the GTS. How can black tips be worse than chrome in regards to keeping them clean? And your spoiler is up.

I have yet to wipe my exhaust tips as the black hides the dirt/ soot. For the record the guys doing the ceramic coat had the spoiler up while they were doing their work. That said, I sometimes forget to do my fly up ...

You said "...love not having to clean the black exhaust tips !" so I took that to mean chrome showed less dirt, etc. I have black tips though and they do show a lot less dirt. etc. And the spoiler comment is just a running joke here since some believe it looks better up or maybe they are just pretending they have a wing!
