The Aerokit automatically includes the entire SportDesign package. The wing doesn't cost $6k+, it is the SportDesign package which is mandated for the wing that makes that the total price. The only item not included by default with the SportDesign package or the Aerokit, is the side skirts, and so the OP added those. Personally I'm more a fan of the front fascia than the rear as I don't care really for the higher cutout for the plate on the rear fascia on the SD kit. That said, if I was getting the Aerokit I suppose I would have to get over it. My 2021 doesn't have either SD or Aerokit. It is Gentian Blue and many feel the SD front isn't as necessary (nor are the side skirts) on darker colors. But my dream build if I did it again would be right around his price and include the SD/Aerokit package in Chalk exterior along with the side skirts.

 

No, don't need or want it for my real life application. At low speeds the car is small enough that I can park and turn it wherever I need to. More important for large cars with large turning radius. At high speeds - I am not racing and for the most part the car w/o RAS can already handle more than I can handle. They introduced it first on Turbo and GT3 assuming some professional drivers want to push the car to the edge and gain another advantage to go even faster around a high speed turn. Nothing what matters to me even for my most spirited driving session as I never reach that threshold. So, for me its unnecessary weight, complexity, and cost (purchase and maintenance). Its funny, the other thread talks about the car is too refined/boring....RAS would make it even more refined/boring as it even more so "smoothes" out high speed cornering. Some people actually enjoy when the rears starts to move....now that I read my own post I now wonder what happens when you try to smoothly "slide/drift" through a high speed turn when RAS is on, Seems RAS is fighting like hell to avoid that pleasure?

 

I love the way the RAS makes the car feel around corners but I really love the ridiculously tight turning radius of the car with RAS. But thats why Baskin Robbins has so many flavors of ice cream.

 

since you're already spending near 200k, might just go all out & do PTS as well

 

If I have to enlighten you why it's a must. If the posts about RAS aren't convincing. If maximizing the handling for the small price of $2,090 on a $182,210 Porsche isn't a must... then there is no hope. Sounds like regrets for not ordering RAS may be the issueA
I had RAS on my 992.2 C4S and 992 Targa GTS and use it, feel it and highly recommend it.
Cheers

 

You make a lot of assumptions, don't read posts, and no, I have no regrets. 🍻

 

RAS certainly not a must. 911’s without RAS actually have a quicker steering ratio than cars with RAS, so they are no slouch and deliver a supurb, traditional experience, if that’s what you want. RAS, you can feel it, and you may or may not like that, depending on what you are looking for. RAS will likely get you around corners faster, add complexity, and provide a slightly different experience/feel. Like someone else said, flavors for everyone. 99.999% of people will never be able to extract the .1 sec/lap RAS will take away. It’s more about if you want the added complexity/cost and slightly different feel to the car.

 

I don't think I've ever felt my RAS - but/and, I will say, the parking lot tricks I can do with my car and RAS might make it worth it

 

Florida parking spots are made for people that barely can hold onto the steering wheel driving in oversized SUV's and MiniVans. 😅 (30ft clearance across a parking lot and back up camera did not prevent such driver of an Escalade to slowly back up into my wifes car just recently)
What would be cool if you can choose at low speed to turn in same or opposite direction and you could crab walk into a parralel parking lot 😝.

 

I ordered none of the “nannies” other than surround view and LCA (Cabriolet). No RAS, no FAL, no ACC / Innodrive, no LKA.
No regrets.
Get whatever you want.

 

No RAS here, no regrets. Once at PECLA an instructor said ‘watch me turn here…RAS lets me do that’. So I followed him in my non-RAS car. Marketing.

 

RAS is certainly controversial - I will say this, what made me add it to my build was that it is standard on both the Turbo and GT3 and that has to mean something.
