Default Turbo

Thinking about placing an order for a turbo. How long is the leadtime? Will the 2008 turbo reflect the new body changes? What do you thing about Atlas grey vs. Meteor gray (my C4S is seal gray). Woyld you go for the ceramic brakes? Am I just stupid for trading in a year old C4S Cab for the turbo? I think it would be the ultimate Porshe for me.

Do you have trouble at restaurants with a big menu?

I've got a 2 month old 997S Cab and a Turbo coming in March or a GT3 coming in April. Can't decide yet.

If I could justify it, I would get the (any) turbo with the ceramics, the colors are almost the same.

I'd only get PCCB on a Turbo if I lived in Germany for fade resistance on the Autobahn. The Turbo is very heavy; I doubt the PCCB's weight benefit is relevant for handling.

Now, on a GT3RS I'd get them for sure to keep the weight down.
