Lock quickly approaching and I'm down to two somewhat different configurations. I'd be very interested in the groups collective thoughts on any big misses or low-value options I have in either build. Also, the preferred build if you don't mind taking the time to weigh in. A little more insight to help with your input. This will not be a DD, rather for coffee trips, date nights and on rare occasion a trip to the track. Had the wife sit in the LWBS and while obviously harder to get into she was not unduly turned off and was ok either way. Big decision for me and the 12/13 lock date quickly approaches so I really appreciate any input!

since you have lightweight package on both, I would option the buckets vs 18 ways and do the sporty build.

Has the Iceland green interior been removed along with Agave? It doesn't show up on the European configurators anymore. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Current build- freeze date 12/8/22!
Porsche Code
Spoiler
 

Coming from a Gentian C2 that I pre-traded in about a month ago. Currently have a 2023 718 Spyder as well that I’ll likely be selling when the GTS arrives

Plan is to spec the $0 black option then wrap it a purple similar to PTS Viola Metallic. Calipers will be powdercoated yellow and will tie in the yellow stitching and accents in the interior.
Will be adding GT3 side skirts as well.

Looking to lower as well- any suggestions?

Also, considering adding Rear Axle Steering. Seems like most of you did- would you all recommend it and say it’s worth if? Effect on resale?

yes they will. But only if you get racetex centers, not if you get leather seat centers

Perfect. Thanks! Nice build and good choice going with yellow w/ shark.

any experience with RAS or can you elaborate as to why you recommend it?

Not trying to talk you out of it. It’s standard on a GT3!
for me… I opted to leave it off. The counter argument for not getting RAS, aside from the cost, is the following for me: Didn’t want to add more mechanics, weight, or another thing that could break or malfunction(I read some posts about it). I’ve also drove a 992 with and without it at a Porsche experience track day, I preferred the feel of the 911 without it. I also really didn’t like the feeling of PDCC…felt like a go cart and more like the Taycan… for me the driving experience is best with less. Maybe I’m an black sheep.

Here is my build guys. The configurator doesn't show the deviated centers like the old one does, but the seat centers are in Speed Blue leather.

Any feedback is appreciated, after a lot of back and forth this is the happiest I've been and don't foresee myself changing it, but who knows that's not the first time I've said that!

@nrb nice build. I would add PDCC, RAS, Headliner, and Sunvisors in Race-Tex if it were me. Hope you get your new car soon!
