Finally got the paper work done. I emptied my wallet and it is shipping in an enclosed trailer in the next few days from Ohio to the Canyon Lake Texas area where I live.. I have never even seen a 992 in the flesh!
Nearest dealer is 60 miles away and with covid all around I don't feel that I need to try one out. I have driven several 991.2's so I KNOW I'm gonna love it!

I See you did not get PSE, Do you plan to do an aftermarket exhaust? Soul performance is amazing for these!

I would have liked to have PSE ! I will drive for a while and do my homework on exhaust options. I don't want to void my warranty and I don't like the idea of taking the rear body work off. Hope it is not TOO quiet....

Ha! Is this your first Porsche 911? Rear comes off for any/every service since they hid the engine in the 997! Since the 991, the rear of these Carrera's come off for almost everything...your dealership is well versed in it probably. My service advisor is like its a piece of cake...so don't worry that much about the rear coming off. As for aftermarket exhausts...if you just do that cat back you shouldn't have a problem. I have done AWE, Fabspeed, and Akrapovic exhausts x2 on my 911's and none gave me an issue at the dealership. In fact my last two exhausts were Akrapovic Ti cat backs and the dealership service managers, techs, and my sales advisor in each case loved the exhaust fitment, sound and had no problems with the modification. Even asked me to bring it by so other customers considering cars could hear/see them. So you should be fine with that. It is when you get into Cats and downpipes and tuning that some dealers may get a little shook and things get unclear.

Put an aftermarket tune on it and have Carrera "S" power or better. It is a cheap upgrade for what you get.

The rims look good with the GT Silver. On the configurator they kinda look waaay shinier than the car and I wasn't a fan. I can't tell are those the 19/20s or 20/21s (after second look, they seem to be the 20/21s)?

Just found this article which includes a C&D road test and really backs up your statement. This has me seriously rethinking my need for an "S".
3.2 seconds 0-60, 11.5 second 1/4 mile@120MPH. These are *** kicking numbers.

If you get the S, definitely splurge for the PCCBs.

That is basically a standard unit with a few relatively useless options that the dealer nearly always order. I usually keep a car around 5 years and average less than 2k miles per year on my garage queens. Truck, Jeep and 4 bikes for daily drivers. Question is this: I know most buyers like heavily optioned or high performance models and in most cases don't mind paying for them, but will resale on a bare bones 2021 911 be decent primarily because it will come in at a much lower price point?
Generally the more options there are on a car the more it depreciates. The other thing after 5 years or more a lot of options have lost all of their value.
