Digging your choices. Makes the Targa look retro that works well with the Arctic. Its really a great color. Did you think about the red roof at all?

The tech in the Targa is just an overall improvement over the '21. The PCM offers more options, the gauges can be configured in more ways,
so just more usable. There's a "reduced view" option on the guages with a button on the right of the steerting wheel, which blanks out the two outer
gauges and just displays some basic info.

The layout is unchanged inside in terms of appearance, which is fine by me. Good for Porsche in moving its PCM forward over the 3 year period. As far as the roof,
I considered the red vs. black, and both work, just went for the black at the end of the day. One option I should have done was deviated stitching
which would have given the interior a bit more punch. Other than that, really please. I can tell the difference in how the car drives due to the fact that it's
a 4S vs my previous 2S. Not worse, just different.

Congrats on the Targa. Those allocations are hard to get. Hope you got the heated/ventilated seats & heated steering wheel. Gives you a lot more “open air” time :-) In a 991.1, the roof is open 75% of the time driving year round in the Deep South.

Definitely on the heated seats/steering wheel. After all, I live in Wisconsin!
