why does everyone LOVE PSE?

Mondrian

That's Geyser Grey which is one of the two special colours on 50th anniversary model. It is not possible to order this colour from Porsche as it rolled out on this special edition model - not sure if it will be available at a later date. If you like that colour have a look at fashion grey which is available as an option or Grigio Campovolo which is an approved PTS colour.

Another option is to go and buy a 50th anniversary Geyser Grey but you will have to be flexible on your options list as production run is finished and only a handful of showroom models available in dealerships across states, even less if you specifically want a manual (there was one left last week).

Well, since the ball has been put in front of the goal i'll take the penalty and kick it in the upper left corner if you don't mind my soccer expression.

We like it because of it's sound, on/off behaviour plus pops and gargles on the overrun.


I have read some reports about droning being an unexpected and annoying factor for a factory exhaust, but not experienced this.

If I'd live in the USA I'd consider fitting something like a Sharkwerks sports exhaust pipe.

Id say PSE, PASM and exterior headlight washer caps painted body color...and all in that order...

Vaf

Top that comes off with a button, and vented seats. However, I'm pretty sure an option free 911 would be pretty sweet anyways!

i checked a ton of boxes on my build but i think its premature to pass judgement and provide comments. ask me again in a year and i could give much better advice

My first 991 was C2 with zero options, nothing, nada, and it was a great car, the 991 is fantastic even in its most basic form. I still miss that car.
IMO no option is a "must have", its just a matter of personal preference. The only thing I regreted not ordering were 20" wheels just for "looks", but it seems most people are ok with the 19"s.

My 2013 991 has no options but PDK. There is nothing I miss.

After a week with my Cab S...

PSE
Vent seats

But the convertble is by far THE BEST decision...like having 2 cars! But car is simply incredible...I think I would be happy with any 911, but that PSE is a must-have for sure!

StudGarden

Must haves?

None.

Seriously. I would be estatic with a base 991. That said, I'd spec the following as my preferred minimum:

Heated and vented seats. Heated steering wheel. Sports Chrono and maybe Bose. I love white and black, but if I ordered right now I'd go Mahogany (with colored wheel crests) but that's obviously not necessary. If I was really trying to keep the cost down, I'd ditch Bose and SC in that order.

I think its cool that 911's are so customizable, but I cringe at how dealers radically overspec almost all their cars. I ordered a 981C like this before I got a CPO 991S. Dealer took delivery of it anyway, and it sold in under 2 weeks. It was a Cayman S about 5-10K cheaper than any base Cayman in a wide radius. The over optioned one I test drove was still there a year later LOL.

I bought my car used. It was heavily optioned. If I was going to buy new the only two options that were a must was the PDK and the sport chrono. The rest was all gravy. That said I do like all the goodies that came with my car.

...."a more expensive car with low options..." That's exactly what I have, a 991.1 Carrera S:

• PDK
• Sport Exhaust
• Clear tail lights
• Sun roof delete
• Power sport seats.

That's pretty much it....love the car.

Wow, a 7 year thread bump. Hat's off to you.

I'll add anyway: favorite options are PSE (because pops/bangs on N/A motor) and full leather interior.

Ergo, what better way to pass the time than to resurrect an aging thread?I have the PSE and those beautiful 4 pipes out the back...nearly always is Sport mode, also love the pops and snaps....and in Sport Mode the car shifts more aggressively.
