Default Anyone Order The Limited Black Speedster Spyder GTS Edition?

I wondered if anyone had ordered one of these? I wonder if they are truly limited production? Is it true that it comes with matching luggage?

Funny you should ask.

I was over at the dealership on Saturday trying to get a feel for pricing on the new Black Speedster Spyder GTS. Event though they didn't have firm numbers yet, I was "this close" to slapping down a deposit.

But then I had a ping from a friend in europe (on my new special edition Blackberry Bold Smokey Violet Torch) about the upcoming Club Sport version of the Black Speedster Spyder GTS so I decided to hold off until full details on both models are released.

Apparently PSE is an optional "delete" on the BSS GTS (something like $2k), but is a no-cost delete on the CS BSS GTS.

But this is all just speculation at this point. Apparently Seinfeld is alreadly down for one of each....

Oh, and apparently the Club Sport version will be the Blaque Speedster Spyder GTS to differentiate it from the Black model.

Wow I must have missed this:

I know what the Speedster is, a 2 seat 911 limited to 356 cars in Pure Blue or white.
I know what the GTS is, a wider hipped Carrera S coupe or cabrio with X51.
And I know of the Boxster Spyder.

But what is a Black Speedster Spyder GTS Edition?

I think I´m going to waite fot the Pearl white Final Edition Ultimate GTS.2 RSR GT3 with beautiful Viper Green decals which is the big difference for the Speedster Spyder GTS Edition, apart from the color.
