Looks like a driver's build, whether it is a .1 or .2. I would miss the Bose and glass sunroof. You may also be missing the motorized steering wheel and make sure the base seats are comfortable. Just nice options to have when your spending over a $100k++.

Agree with these two options. These to me are a must on any "daily" 911.

Thanks... not a daily driver... looking for a fun car. The drivers build is what drew me to it, although I do not plan to track it.

Not really concerned with glass sunroof...my other two cars I rarely use it. However, the bose option missing is a consideration..... I have looked at so many cars recently I simply missed it. Maybe it will be nice though to just hear the sport exhaust....

Get the Bose and to avoid another "bose" thread those that wish to debate the suject should search the forum for the respective thread.

Anyway, a "driver's car" to me is one that I can get a little agressive with at times while at the same time be a car that I have an enjoyable experience in, which is why I suggest the sunroof. If you only use it once on a nice evening it will pay for itself, and that can be an experience on its own. Same goes for other options you may be consdering unless the cost of entry does not justify it.

Looks like a good build. Everyone will have a different opinion on what they would want. For example, sport seats and full leather would be important to me. The no sunroof would be an advantage to me.

Don't worry about Bose, it's a tremendously disappointing solution. Base stereo is easier to upgrade anyway.

The factory stereo in my wife's $37k Kia sounds nearly as good as the Bose in my 911.

Close to my build, we just differ on PDK (and SC, which makes more sense with PDK). Sounds good.

Just my opinion, but 911s look soooo much better with SunRoodDelete.
