Hi all - I'm speccing a new build with the following options and would appreciate any opinions, as this will be my first 911
For context I'm in Australia in mostly warm weather (and unlikely to take it to the track very often if ever).
- Carrera (base model) in Crayon
- Base wheels (I debated the Carrera Classic 20/21" wheels but I think the base wheels still look great and may offer better ride comfort)
- Standard interior, Black
- Sports Seats Plus (4-way electric)
- Electric slide/tilt glass sunroof
- '911' logo
- Sport chrono package
- Active Parking Support (primarily for 3D surround view and cross traffic alert)
- Adaptive cruise control
- GT sports steering wheel in leather
- Seat belts in Crayon
- Porsche crest on headrests
Additional options I'm on the fence about (not wanting to go too crazy with options):
- 20/21" Carrera Classic or Carrera S wheels
- Porsche Sports Exhaust
- Roof-lining in Alcantara/race-tex
- Brushed aluminium or carbon interior
- Clear/exclusive design tail light (I really like the look of this)
- Sport front (looks great but pretty pricey)
- Homelink
So my first 992 just arrived at the dealer today and it's chalk as well. I care deeply about the looks of the car (probably too much) and I think the sport front fascia is a must for me. The exclusive design tail lights are also just so much better looking imo. I went with both.
Strongly suggest getting upgraded wheels - Carrera Classics would add greatly to the appearance of the car. The base wheels just scream "poverty spec" - and who wants that? Have fun and prepare to wait impatiently.
I saw two chalk Gt3's today at my dealership (pre sold) . It gave me a lot of time to really look at the color and since both were side by side compare a few things .
1) Wheels ought to be satin black and upgraded . I had always loved the silver Gt3 wheels until I saw how satin black looked on chalk . Its that good .
2) Sport tailpipes - If you are not doing PSE then at least ditch those square shaped tips .
3) Put a sunroof on a Macan ... not a 911 . Its been talked out to the end here . BOTH Gt3's had the carbon fiber roof and on chalk it looks incredible In fact ANY carbon fiber matches up with that color.
4) Clear light bar - The red doesnt go with the chalk . The clear is perfect !!
