@Pivot Absolutely agree without our friends across the pond there would be no manuals and that applies to the BMW M2 as well as the cars from Stuttgart.
So thank you Gentleman & Ladies of the US.

Not a problem, kudos to all who do their part in keeping the manuals alive. Even if you don't drive them anymore, but did at a time, it helped keep them going. I am so blessed and happy that I can grow up and still have manual cars, especially in the 911 which I hold in very high regard, and grew up admiring. It is thanks to all the people still getting them that Porsche keeps making them.
Also how we boycot Porsche when they try and take them away. Forcing Porsche to keep them.
I will drive Manual cars until they don't make them any more or until I cannot physically drive them anymore. What ever comes first. I hope my old age comes first.

if mirrors are adjusted properly I agree. I didn’t spec it. My wife was not happy to hear it. Told her I might be able to software it in. In any event doubtful she will drive it so it’s a moot point now that’s gone.

I would be surprised if you can code it in, the indicators are in the mirrors so I believe you get different ones when LCA is not equipped. Not sure about the blind spot sensors as well.

For you and the others who commented on your post of the EVO Coty article results.
For certain reasons @Uhu knows I have been in correspondence with the Editor of Evo and commented on the T lowly position.
This was his reply: As was mentioned in the e-coty story, it was an incredibly close field this year, the closet ever we think, with so many extremely strong contenders. The 'Specials' may have nudged the T down the table, but it definitely left the contest with it's head held high.
So don't doubt that that 7th place is as negative as hurriedly assumed,
We have a great car so don't be doubters or rush to PX with an M3 CS! or Alpine which Autocar recently gave 3 1/2 stars.

No idea, I suspect the way to really reduce unsprung weight on a T is to fit carbon brakes.
https://jzmporsche.com/parts/surface...-full-car-kit/
20 KG saving on a GT3, less on a T which has smaller steel discs, but significant.
Plus better breaking of course.
The ones above may only fit the GT3 but I suspect there are sets that would fit other 992s
Not cheap though…

There is also this, but it's an expensive part for only 2.2lbs.

The only thing I would change is
I think you should get Bordeaux red stitching as your deviated color. Then Guards red as the Tac and seat belts.
Do not get the race tex, especially on the sun visors as they are leather included, so you are paying more to get the Leather than paying more to get race tex.
Interesting. I went with the Racing Yellow deviated stitching and dials but added in the "Interior Trim Inlays in Exterior Color" because I plan to wrap it or replace it with the Carbon Fiber one from the GT3 (links below). Since it was a $0 option for Ruby Star Neo, and you can't get it after the fact in Ruby Star Neo, I thought this way if I ever wanted the exterior color again,, I would just remove the wrap or replace the Carbon Fiber ones.

I did go for the "Sport Seats Plus Backrest shells in Leather with Painted Exterior Color Inlay" becuase that little Ruby Star Neo shows from the back even with the Wing, which I thought was pretty cool.

Your Bordeaux red stitching looks great on the inside and a pretty close match to Ruby Star Neo from you image below.
