All 4 were in the range of 5-7%. I simply told all 4 I was ready to pull trigger and I needed them to come back to me with best price and earliest delivery.

Sounds like a very sweet ride! You will love it.

(I parked this am next to a BMW coupe with a glass sunroof very similar to the 991 configuration - very very cool looking up through his window).

And from what I've experienced for he past two weeks driving through Europe, the glass s/r with retractable motorized shade is a terrific option. Very similar to the moonroof in my 650....but it also can be opened, not just tilted. Anyway, here it is in DBM...

Being a rabid 993 fan, i didn't think the 997 and 991 would appeal to me but when I drove both, i was very impressed that Porsche had taken the rawness of the 993 and had improved and refined it in these cars. Before driving them both, I was prepared to not like them at all, fearing loss of drivability and feel of steering etc. Boy was i wrong!!!!! The smile on my face after the drives said it all to the sales staff.

I actually really like the design and looks of the 991, especially the rear end, which I personally have found a little wanting in the models since the 993.

Anyway, here's what I ordered:

911 Carrera S

BOSE(R) Audio Package
Premium Package with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus

Dark Blue Metallic

Luxor Beige leather interior

Sunroof in glass
Electric folding exterior mirrors
Wing mirror (lower part) painted

ParkAssist (front and rear)
Deletion of Model Designation

Sport Exhaust System
PASM Sport Suspension
7-speed Manual Transmission
Wheels
20-inch Carrera Classic wheel
Wheel Accessories
Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest

Seat belts in Guards Red
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way)
Interior Leather
Porsche Crest on headrests
SportDesign steering wheel

Now I have to wait patiently until early October to get my new toy.

I sent my build sheet out to 4 dealers this morning asking for best and final offers and they all responded within hours. By 1pm, I was at the dealer with the best bid, paying the deposit etc.

The dealers here in and around Philadelphia were great to work with.
Add a couple more things to the build:
- Sport Chrono (Red clock face)
- contrasting stitching (Guards Red) to interior and seats
- Instrument faces in white

Have to stop before I start going crazy adding other things...

Congratulations, you will love it. Personally, I really enjoy the PDK but to each their own.
