PDCC is different sway bars, etc. and different from the DSC. I did not order my car with PDCC so DSC was my only option, and it works very well.

I wanted my C2 to be as performance oriented as possible so to me that meant; GTS package, PDCC + SPASM, RAS, MT, 18 ways, and of course No Sunroof!

A sunroof would be a deal breaker for me.

No bueno,

I've had 3 991s. a .1S with a metal roof, a .1S with a glass roof and a .2 GT3 without one. Don't miss it at all. Like someone else said, the only thing I used mine for was to eliminate buffet with the windows open, but the window triangle things work for that.

To me the biggest benefit of the sunroof is a functional one. With the windows rolled down the 991s have HORRIBLE buffeting in the cabin. You have to buy the (kinda tacky) winglets to put on the window triangle to lessen it. With a sunroof all you have to do is crack it. No more eardrum-shattering buffeting.
+1. Wind deflectors (black mill) with windows down and roof open is no-buffet bliss on a nice day or mix and match. Wanted a cab but don’t like the look and fact roof is up much of the year in the upper Midwest. Above combo is 3/4 of the cab pleasure with a lot more usability. No rattles or creeks on my glass roof, and love the flexibility. This is a road car not a track toy. You’ll never notice the weight/CG even at a pace that will lose you your license on the street.

I’m no purist. I like the glass roof. It feels more spacious and I need as much sunlight I can get.

If you live in a hot summer area, then it does make the car hotter in the summer.

This really depends on how you use the car and where you live. My 991.2 C2 is a daily driver and i live in an area where we get a lot of cloudy weather. So getting extra light in the cabin is really nice!

For me the sunroof is more about getting extra light into the cabin than for opening and getting fresh air.

If the 911 was a track car or a weekend driver, I'd probably do without the sun roof. As a daily driver in this sort of climate, the sun roof is great.

Hey, that's exactly what Options are for - so we can pick and choose and build the car that meets our specific circumstances

Would not own a 911 w/o it, after enjoying the one I have so much.
