Colour-wise I thought the Gentian blue was absolutely beautiful. In person I found that the front looks a lot more angular than the 991.
I'd definitely go with a dark colour as I personally thought the car looked better than on lighter ones.
I see it on the UK configurator as well. Anyone know how much weight it saves? Please tell me it’s not just cosmetic.
Good question. I see that the manual gearbox will save about 55 pounds in weight compared to the PDK. Same cost though. And manual comes with Sport Chrono Package.
Hmmm, the manual is a "no-cost option", but you have to buy the SC package in order to get the manual. So if you don't really want the SC package, the manual will cost you $2,720 more than the PDK?? I really hope that when you spec the manual, that you get the SC package at no additional cost, but I doubt we'd be that lucky. Put another way, if the only option you choose is the manual gearbox, will it cost you $2,720 more than the same car with the PDK?

More-important to me is getting the MT and no SC. Since, it is inevitable that auto-rev-matching will work in S/S+ modes and not be defeatible. And, I expect human-rev-matching to be difficult in normal mode because of emissions controls.

The way I read it, SC comes as standard with the manual box, for no extra cost. This is Porsche softening the blow that a 911 with a manual box used to cost less, but not any more.
