Default New Turbo S spec

I have about one month until the production of my Turbo S starts, and here's my build: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRCEPK96
.

I'm having second thoughts about two things: the Sport PASM, im worried it might be rough when driving it on the roads, and the seat belts in chalk. As for the seat belts, the entire interior is black except for the stitching, the chalk seat belts might stand out too much. Maybe they'll look better in real life. Any advice on changes would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My TTS build does not freeze for another month and I’ve spent ample time going thru the configuration and making changes. SPASM and FAL for me, looks so much better and most think it’s not harsh. Seat belts are all personal choice, I like the splash of color that matches the stitching- others may not. Find pics on the web and see what you like better.

Chalk belts are going to look great.

SPASM is not too stiff.

Keep it as-is.

(As an aside, if it were me, I would get yellow belts, yellow Tach and yellow chrono, just to tie it all on with the PCCBs)

Congrats on the car and enjoy the wait.

I got SPASM on mine and I love it. Firm but not harsh, it looks great and helps move the car a little toward sports car from GT. I also did GT Silver seat belts with my Black/Bordeaux interior (in part because they match the car's paint) and think the contrast looks great.

Hi, I have a question. Regarding the driving modes such as Wet, Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus, when you activate Sport or Sport Plus, does that mean it enables the Sport setting on SPASM? Or is that a different setting?

Spasm isn’t that stiff. I don’t regret it one bit. In regards to the belts it’s nice to have some contrast. I chose the yellow stitching, yellow belts and yellow tach to match the calipers. I have a gentian blue exterior with black interior and really like how it mixed.

Add Surround View. Seeing curbs directly in front of you is helpful. Also, centering the car in a spot is much easier to do with the top view.

Isn't 3d surround view the same thing? If I select the option Surround view, i have to disable "Remote ParkAssist incl. Lane Change Assist and 3D Surround View".

You’re right. The front camera wasn’t rendering when I clicked the configurator and I only checked for the individual option. Your spec looks fabulous.

Keep the sport suspension, otherwise the front looks like a pick up truck.

The chalk belts are a bit much IMO, I didn't get them, seat belts are not something I like to make more visible, but to each their own, lots do it.
