If you need to, go read about people who have been without a car for up to 8 months due to failure with the Li battery that is mandatory with RAS. That ought to make you feel better. https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1299...n-battery.html

Except the T has the Lithium battery regardless of whether you have RAS or not.

Unfortunately. I hope it's not the case but there are apparently more and more models that have it mandatory. Not very cool.

This car would end any speculation for sure. I've got the green T leather package configured on my build along with extended door leather, was nicely surprised to find that the deviated stitching now applies to the door handles plus the lower section of the door panels. Steering wheel and shift boot stitching would be nice compliments. Pics would be nice, but I believe we'll find out soon enough.

And then you attack my opinion about the T ethos? Some rennlisters can't understand a joke and love to then personally attack the poster. Love it! Let's go!
No, it was definitely sexist to assume only the "wives" would be concerned with such trivial things as stitching. You firstly are making assumptions about who hides behind these screen names and secondly that one sex's interests and priorities differ from the other. I don't believe it could be more of a text book example.

@Cartod / @toph4242 Thank you both for your response! Sorry they were not available right away

Seems like LWB are available as an option on half of all 911 trims. But even in the GTS thread, I don't see many people ordering them even before the stop sale.

Wow. LOL. Obviously you don't have a sense of sarcasm. Typical these days. Can't crack a joke without someone's panties getting in a bunch. Ponder that one now...

I enjoy the ride more with less tech, less electronics and fewer motors. I also enjoy that this means less weight and less cost, and often better driving dynamics.

besides having the CTEK in between periods of inactivity, you still have to shell out $2500 for a replacement battery when the time comes for normal wear, correct?

The SportDesign Package looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations, gorgeous spec.

Sorry but couldn’t help noticing that your defense against making a sexist joke involved a comment about someone’s panties getting a bunch.

I’ll see myself out.

Uhg. I spend my days litigating harassment complaints. Can we just talk about cars here?
