suncoast is a LOT cheaper than CA dealers.
Sunset in Portland usually has the best deals going.

Suncoast = $859.00

Chattanooga Porsche = $494.29

Looks like Suncoast is reasonable on some parts, while other parts have a huge markup.
thanx, i'll call them next time when i stock up on parts.

That's always good for a couple of seconds a lap. I looked for it on the cup option list but couldn't find it.

Ron I think you are mistaken. Full deviated stitching is 2 seconds a lap. Carbon console is 0.5 seconds per lap. Best is leather vents 2.5 seconds. Merry Christmas!

Actually it was Dave. According to the reciept, that was back on July 3rd.

Not sure if there has been a big price increase for 2008?

I'll stop by there today to ask what the deal is & post back tonight.

I stopped by the dealer today, here's what I found. For the 2008 model year, Porsche has made some big increases on the cost of some GT3/GT3RS parts that I was unaware of.

The same GT3RS steering wheel that had a list price of $494 last July now has a list price of $899.

Owners that have previously replaced the front lip spoiler for around $115 last year are also in for a shock. The same piece is now $240.

Why Porsche has doubled prices on some stuff is beyond me.

So the end result? It seems that Suncoast Porsche prices aren't bad at all.

I apologize to the folks at Suncoast for saying that their prices were high.

Also to Mooty for questioning him. I was wrong.
