That's OK...production #s don't faze me. This car is a keeper, so re-sale doesn't matter, since I'm looking long term. The decals and rims really did bug me though, because they were standard RS items, no reason why a white RS can't get them. I guess PCNA finally saw the light.

This is sad. Why couldn't they do their marketing study correctly before they started assembly of this model?

Why do you have to pay for black or orange wheels that were already available in the original scheme (obviously they are no cost with the silver and orange RS schemes)?

What a raw deal !

PS: I'll post pix of the RS with the CGT once it arrives.
good memory nick!
you do remember you also gave me first right of refusal on the polar cgt as well?
that's the only polar is it not?
how much is the cgt being driven?
i was also the guy debating cgt total production figures w/ you, mike, and others on 6 speed.

I had it done custom after the car was built, but before shipped to USA. Not easy to accomplish. In hindsight, it would have been easier and cheaper to retrofit here.

The bigger deal is: I had 'em make our RS with slate graphics over black. Now, anybody can get this. So much for exclusivity.

Definitely...np. Again, not sure if it's the only Polar CGT in the world. Maybe? Car not being driven much. I think 1,700 miles right now. Sits on the charger mostly. Roads in SoCal are too bad and sometimes, a hassle just to take her out for a spin.

So what Porsche is saying is, you can now get a white RS that looks like the other RS' (ie painted wheels, RS script and other colours for certain pieces) but it'll cost you another $5K-$8K... Yeah that seems like good deal!!
