I'd keep steel brakes if you're tracking it. Ceramic coating the wheels helps a little.

Love the blue interior - I think the orange works with it. It would be better if you could PTS it and switch to Azzuro Thetys Metallic - the blue in that silver would work great with the interior. But the cost and extra wait time for PTS might be too much.

You could probably skip PDCC - read other people's experiences on it and most people suggest it for top heavy cars more than your car. Same with FAL, I don't think these cars are low enough to warrant it for most people.

Innodrive and ACC aren't for me but if its for you, cool.

I agree the Sport Seats Plus / 18 ways look better and are more comfortable for me. Sit in each of the available seats at your dealer and decide.

It looks like a great build, congrats.

Let's be honest about something here. The 911 isn't loud inside, with the windows up, or down. It's actually quiet as hell. If you're buying any 911 variant thinking it sounds like an Aventador SV at cold start, you're mistaken.

@Bruce R - thats awsome quote... 'give someone an adjustable setting & they'll set it wrong' - or something to that effect. :-) I do believe that.

I had 14ways on my 992 c2s and I thought they were great. I felt I could do the 14ways again with the 930 package to dress it up.

so true... the 992 GTS sounds loud enough to not feel like your trying to get attention or trying to get attention.

I got FAL this time on the GTS, becuase my 992 C2S with sport suspension and sport design package would rub (lost count of the times) and I angle my approch and everything. My driveway... I have to reverse up could not go up with the front due to incline. I live in NYC and driveways generally have some sort of incline or speed bumb.

PDCC I figured for the looong drives (highways) when you dail it down to normal it softens up the car - when I drag my wife and kids. So to hear less complianing from them and more opertunity to drive I picked PDCC. I can always turn it back to sport when its me just driving.

No brake dust is priceless in my book

PDDC is fine for track, less important for street. Adaptive cruise control is a wash, if I'm in a situation where adaptive would be effective, I'm not using the cruise. Lane Keep is more an annoyance than a convenience. Certainly you're gilding the lily, but its your car after all.

Seems to have a lot of "luxe" options mixed with "race" options. I'd pick one or the other. Also, get the 4-ways or the 18-ways. I chose the 4-ways and couldn't be happier, but I understand why folks want memory seats, etc.
