Why is the green on the tech at different RPM for the turbo and gt3? Does the green area signal the throttle zone?

Is there any official literature on this?

I meant that in humor, not literally.

Limited edition options, models, etc tend to grab a premium in the market, couple that with a very limited manual transmission and this is definitely something that will be highly desired in the future.

Think about the 997.2 prices. Manual transmission are about $15-$20K more than a PDK.

Isn't that the purpose of money?-- to use for things that me you feel good.

Gotcha! Both my 997.2 and my very new 992.1 C2S are manuals.

Heritage interior was the main reason why I got a 911 but why end there?

You need the Pepita thermos/cup too. Grab one while you can! I was recently informed via my local dealer that once they’re gone, they are gone.

I instantly purchased one directly from Porsche when I received the email notification that they had become available. Just this week I purchased another one, a backup via my local dealer.

How's the quality? Yeti/Hydroflask level or cheap free-swag you get from your kid's schools/company gifts?

The quality is great, at least by my standards and I am known to be particular. Edit: It is manufactured in China, naturally.

Yea, I think everything swag-related is. Although the pepita coffee mug I bought from them is made in Poland.

Looks great! Is that the Rimowa twist? They have so many on their website; yours is hard to find. By chance do you have a link? Thanks in advance.

You click on the link above and customize it to your likings. But the cognac handles have been out of stock online for months.

Love the black leather with the black and white pepita. Never liked the orange leather, and hope they change that with the 992.2.

I would be highly surprised to see the return of the Heritage Package as it was allegedly created for the 75th anniversary of Porsche as well as the 60th anniversary of the 911. We’ll see…
