Speaking of 60 years and the S/T, Porsche's ad just posted yesterday takes you through the generations of the 911 and pulls on those heritage and tradition heart strings:

I'm such a waffler... Completely flipped on my config. Switched to Guards Red with Red Tach and ditched RAS.
My goal was to keep the weight and the cost down, but back seats and leather were a must for me. I dropped the badging because I like the minimalist look.
Actually, baby hoarder. My bro has 12 now and have several acquaintances with 10+. I know what 5 u have. What would u add as #6 if u had the space, budget, time, etc etc?
I did go in the wait list for the new ST…lol. But that’s a stretch in many ways that I’ll figure out if I get picked. I have wanted an early 70s Alfa GTV for a long time but every time I look the values go up. I’ve been generally lucky buying my cars before the values pop. A clean 240z would also be a great one, or go newer and look to r32 Gtr but not sure I could handle right rand drive. So many cool options I could probably go on forever!
Everything looks great except I’d change it to a Black T! Black T with agate /titanium grey accents the bestest!
BTW, interesting username u have. I’m 6 sigma Black Belt tested. Why 6 sig?
Thanks, I love how black looks but I'm OCD enough that I'd spend all my time cleaning it lol. Username was created when I was involved in a quality program and getting a certification, so it kinda stuck.

Good idea, and saves quite a bit of money. I may drop both CF roof and SD lights.

So tight! Cornering is so much better than my 964 or 993. I’m keeping the RPMs down for now for a proper break in. The cabin noise is not bad at all and stereo sound is tolerable. Be careful using auto blip or you will exceed the break in RPMs while downshifting. Engine sound is nice especially in sports plus mode. It’s got some gurgles on deceleration. Exceeds all expectations!
Looks awesome! Great details and spectacular build. Love it!

Looks good! Might consider adding the red sport chrono clock to match the tach. I like this build.

Yeah, ST would be amazing. JDM?! Well ok now. I know someone with right hand drive GTR. It just looks damn cool driving on the wrong side (EU folks will hate me for saying wrong side). I’d love to get a 90s NSX like the one my brother used to have. Guy in my neighborhood has a clean yellow one. Such an eye catcher after all these years. I think I’d want a red one though fo sho. Yeah, wished I had more garage space. Trying to convince wifee we need a bigger garage to buy 1 more sports car, but discussion not going well. Wished I had a good reason to convince her with!!

I do the exact same thing as I keep going back-and-forth between Shark Blue and Guards Red. I have a difficult time giving up $3300 for SB. It might be “special”, but it is not that special to me. lol

Did the same thing. My build was SB for most of the time, switched to GR last minute and I'm so glad I did
We are less than 300 posts away from getting the #1 posted thread on RL !
We best get to work!
I am waffling on deleting the heated steering wheel. We reside in the Southeast and it is probably not really needed, especially in a coupe. I do not ever intend to drive the car in temperatures below 45° nor in the rain or snow. The price of admission is truly trivial, but my main concern is at resell. Thoughts?
