was your dealership able to confirm a sport exhaust? I thought it was currently unavailable.

Congrats! Any ideas/opinions on custom colors? I would like to get the Cobalt Blue with Grey leather. I dont care about sport exhaust, but if its available i'll grab it (i didt see it on the order guide, maybe i missed it)

Mind telling us the general price range (not what you paid lol that would be rude, just a guestimate.. 90k?)

Have fun, it'll be the longest 3 months of your life till september !

Good luck,
Dekard

The preliminary order guide makes no mention of a sports exhaust being available -- and final order guides are not out yet. I have heard that Porsche is gilving the 997 a more aggressive exhaust note, however (check it out on the Porsche website...sounds pretty good).

Can anyone explain what the 'W' means on the order sheet?

Thanks.

I think that means you can substitute another choice for a standard item at no cost -- e.g., black gauges for white on the Carrera S. That's what I'm hoping, anyway...never liked the white gauges too well.

Your right "W" means no charge substitution. Most of these apply to 997s only. I was told the different color guages are not available yet.

Anyone know if you can still order the "Sunroof" with the 997S?
