Lightbulb Help Build my 992 Carrera S

So this is my build so far. $146K MSRP.

Is there anything I'm missing that you would consider a " must have " or things you would suggest I consider?

Sport Package
PASM Sport Suspension (Lowered 10mm)
Sport Chrono Package
Sport Exhaust System incl. Tailpipes in Black
Carbon Fiber Roof
Aerokit

8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
Extended Range Fuel Tank (23.7 gal.)
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with Calipers in Yellow
20"/21" Carrera Exclusive Design Wheels
Ambient Lighting
Sport Seats Plus (4-way)

"full" leather is a must for me - did you select that option?

Very similar to my build.

I would add the lightweight glass. Also, I went with the Sport Tex interior.

I'll consider the full leather. Its a $4K option... kinda much, but I'll consider it for sure.


Rear Wheel Steering - a must have or nah ?

No option is a must have.

I’d add the GT steering wheel (non-heated). It’s a relatively affordable option, and I personally liked it more than the standard wheel.

She’s going to be looking pretty race with the Aero Kit, PASM (-10mm) and Carbon Roof...are you planing on tracking the car? Why no PDCC? You’ve got the PCCB’s already might aswell complete the circle IMO.

Seems like a very nice speck ...... for you, I assume you are going to be taking the car to track days quite often. For a road car my choices would be quite different but that is the beauty of the configurator we can spec the cars the way we like them. As smiles11 said, "no option is a must have". Enjoy your new car.

Please realize that my must have can be someone else's must not have. It really depends on your purpose for the car, your budget and what you believe is worth pouring money into.
My must haves are to keep the car as minimalist as possible and I dont like paying up for things like leather, PDLS+, cruise control etc, memory seats etc etc

I love the Porsche drive experience and so my must haves were the SC, Sports Exhaust (10mm lowering kind of comes with it but I did not need it) and 4 way sport seats plus. I do not track, do not do long commutes but love spirited driving
Anguished for ever over the C2 vs C2S question. Felt I never really needed the power of the S but if I did not get it I would regret it.

In the context of this option list, I'd say yes.

With the Aero Kit and PASM, why not add FAL? It's cheaper to add that now then to replace/repair your front bumper later . . .
