Saw an identical one at my dealer on 1/28 - will keep an eye out for one on Furka Pass this summer!

I agree and it also has a double-bubble roof to go along with the duck tail...

Yes, clear side marker lights, tint, and a full wrap are in work before I take delivery. So annoying that clear side marker lights aren't an option or even standard.

Exactly. They considered the 6 speed, but ultimately this is the only way to get this much HP with a manual.

Its the detuning then jacking up the MSRP that rubs me the wrong way. If it sounded like the GT3, or hell, even the 3.0T, it could be forgiven. Maybe I’m the minority in that opinion.
Flame suit on.
Purchasing this car was certainly a mental journey. In the end, I wanted a 911 that was consistent with our joy of driving and both my wife and I love Porsche heritage. This car fits nicely into our lifestyle. I couldn't be more excited about this 911.

It is a beautiful car - and I would love to have one - congratulations. We ordered our Turbo S with the SC interior which is about the closest I will ever get to an SC I am afraid. I agree with one of the comments earlier, the car without the decals is far prettier. Nice to have a partner who shares your passion for beautiful cars although this one is more akin to a fine garment she would order off Neta Porte - makes for an easy sale at home....
