My brother and I take my car to the bar with a girl in the back and that special feeling of pulling up in the front in a 911 goes away pretty damn fast when everyone is watching you maneuver the seats for 5 minutes to let the girl out...
Further, Being 5'10 185 in good shape I've found the 4-ways fit me perfectly. Perhaps if your body shape is outside the norm or you never use the rear seats the 18 ways would be worth it. Either way -- the 18 ways probably add weight, cost, and things to break. If I had configured my own car they would have been an absolute "no"

Just a bit concerned that as production may cease so soon afterwards, if there’s any slippage in production between now and then, the factory might sacrifice the PTS orders. Seemed to happen last year: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/8434...l-my-16-a.html
But that’s not going to happen again. Oh no it won’t. Our cars will be delivered on time and they’ll be great.

I think the fact Porsche have given a build date with PTS is a good sign.. I was told second week of October for completion. I have not been chasing a date or info on my build, Porsche are surprisingly being pro active and sending me information.

PASM, woah… after driving my 991s with PASM sport and PDCC..
At 1st the car seems like a boat, it sways and leans so much more than mine. Its 20 mm higher but it really move about a lot. But when I got used to it its a very easy car to drive fast. It did give good feedback and let me know when I was approaching my limits (not the cars)… But it is a very soft and compliant ride, even in sports mode. The car felt more skittish and twitchy on bumpy uneven UK roads.

In a straight line when the PDCC is not so much in affect the ride is great, I think it is smoother than PASM sport, which is possible, because the role bars can (non technical term) relax which fixed roll bars can't do. So you get the best of both worlds. Supple suspension on the straights and no lean when cornering. Ideal for the often bumpy British roads.
PDCC does take some time to get used too, I could not get a demonstrator with PDCC to try before I ordered my car. You do lose some of the natural feel (lean and roll) you are used to and get with any non PDCC car, so finding the car's cornering limits can be a bit harder.
Its an expensive option but worth it to me. I have it ordered on my next.
Hope this helps. I can elaborate more if needed. Just ask away.

AFIAK the only difference between PASM and PASM SPORT is that the latter has 10mm shorter springs, but the rates *may* be the same... so the ctr of gravity is lower *but* all else being equal the handling should be the same IMO
