I have no hard data, but I'd say it's pretty darn rare. I wish mine had the delete.
If yours has it, I'd say your the first non-RS/other special factory variant one I've seen/heard of.

Sunroof delete was very rare in U.S. cars. Euro cars had sunroof as an option but many didn't opt for it.
You can't even get sunroof delete on a 997. I know because I tried recently. Yet, Euro cars still have it as an option. For example, a 997S for Great Britain has the electric sunroof option listed at 864 Pounds ($1,500 USD).
Americans always get a little less hard core and a little more bling than our friends in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

In US there are probably 3 993s without sunroof...
In Europe there are lot of them, but not here where there are way too many pimps.
I was looking all over when I was searching for my 993 but eventually had to give up.
I hate that frickin' thing!

I had my 95 993 ordered without a sunroof. I have other Porsches with sunroofs which I rarely use.
I have never seen another one without one. At one event the owner of a 930 told me he had a
body shop close it off and now he loves the new look.

I liked having my sunroof when I drove my car on the road and without a helmet. Although it's no targa, the added circulation and light were big pluses.
For the track, I'd love to get rid of the weight and add some needed headroom.
