Default My expensive base build

I know this is an expensive base build but it’s the allocation I was offered and I am currently a 991.2 base owner. Any comments on options or changes I’m open to hearing. It should be freezing fairly soon. Thanks!

You are living dangerous to ask for opinions on your build. If it's right for you then it is perfect. My 911 just rolled off the assembly line and is somewhere between Zuffenhausen and Emden. It was ordered in February for July delivery. Track My Porsche site is very unreliable.

I know! Im just open to listening. I don’t plan to change much at this point but if there’s something important I’m missing or wasting money on, then I might. I’ve made a few changes since I took the allocation.

Fantastic build. Once I get my allocation in the next couple of months, I'll be doing something similar. Indeed, mine is likely more expensive as I'll drop the sunroof but add PTS (Azzuro Thetys Metallic). Go for it!

I think you picked the most important of functional and performance items. The rest is just visual so it’s you who will ultimately live with the car. I like the heritage interior, I’m undecided on the exterior color selection though with that interior.

Nice build, but way too much for a base 992 IMO. My highly optioned GTS was just a few thousand more, but then again I didn’t do the heritage interior. If you’re going to spend that much, you might want to consider moving up to a S trim. Might not be too much more and you get a lot more car for your money.

I thought about pts but I really like chalk in the end so Might as well save some. My current car is graphite blue and I thought about the artic grey but don’t think it meshes well with the interior.

That looks really nice. The only thing I would personally add is the aluminum pedals - they would really pop with the seat centers.

I was thinking of chalk, but someone down my street bought a Chalk Macan a few months ago. I don't think I could spend this much on a special car and see a base Macan in the same color every time I go out.

Nothing wrong with that, but you could probably get to the $160k price point in an S while still keeping the heritage package if that’s what you really want.
