Big shout-out of thanks to "Stoppie", Chris Sanner, Sales Manager at Porsche N. Olmsted OH for getting my RS order into the PCNA system today. At MSRP.

Had a written sales order with local dealer who then did not receive their hoped for allocation. After some last minute scrambling, Stoppie "got it done".

Thanks Ya Bastid! (and I know you can't post here anymore )

It is dream come true to buy a car like this, and I have every intention to drive it as it was meant to be driven. No saving the joy for the next owner by bubble wrapping and babying it

After vacillating between color combos and options I settled with:

Blue/Gold
PCCB
Dynamic Lights
Front Axle Lift
PCM 3.0 w/NAV/Blutoof/AUX/XM

Dealer tried to enter the LiON battery but system wouldn't take it yet

Having thought long and hard about how I will really use the car, the options were correct for ME.

Driving before or after sunup/down prompts Dynamic Lights.

I could have waited to do aftermarket front lift but decided to go OE. I already scrape my C4S on my driveway and at the gas station.

The radio and speakers/AUX/Bluetooth add an estimated 15lbs and for some convenience and tunes when I want them, so worth it.

NAV adds negligible weight and always appreciated when heading out of town.

My rough calculations are 25lbs added with options, and 60lbs taken off with options (-40 PCCB/-20LiON) so net -35lbs.

Obviously money spent on various cosmetic items is not my cup of tea, so chose not to opt for the extended leather, and various colored interior pieces, and stiching, and carbon and all that crap.

To each his own, and if you have ordered an RS why not post your spec?

Congrats
Love your configuration

I would do it the same except nix the lift because it is cheaper to just replace the lips

Good job Pete! What's the delivery date? Looking forward to maybe going for a drive with you next spring.

Thanks Ralph!

Feb delivery (oops, edit_ Feb BUILD, should be late March delivery), but don't know exact day yet. Sounds great, I want to drive your Sharkified RS!

Nizer

White/Red
PCCB
Leather
Nav/USB/Bluetooth/

Battery on the short list but still waiting to determine whether it's a straight swap out with standard battery if and when needed.

Sorry Pete but my car is only a lowly GT3 not an RS!! But it is sharkified and you are welcome to drive it!!!!

Believe that you have a February production month (month 2).
Your delivery most likely will be in April...

That's awesome that Chris took care of you. You guys are killing me with these RS orders. I could but shouldn't. Maybe I'll look at a gently driven 997.2 RS in a year or so.

savyboy

If you can, you must...

Thank me later

Targa Tim

Congrats.

I ordered blue/gold, full leather, front lift, painted rear console, PCM/NAV/bluetooth/sound package plus/universal audio, homelink, cupholder.

This will be my track (and some street) car, but I don't think I will ever be able to drive it at 10/10, so I don't mind some extra weights.

TRAKCAR

White/Red
USB/Bluetooth
Painted washer nipples.

I wonder when my March allocation will actually arrive.
Still debating Euro delivery.

Congrats on the Blue/gold... not my choice, but I'm sure it will be "striking" to say the least. Have fun!~

Not able to drive it like the fellow in the following video dueling it out with that one Dodge Viper? EPIC!

I watch that video at least once per month just wishing I could eek all that performance out of that car!

Finnaly..congrats on your new to be born and long awaited RS.
Lion batt. is available and can be added to the production order after 1/31/2010... I added it to mine today.
I can not believe that you are taking stealing one of Ohio's RS. Are you gonna drive it back all the way to vagas? If not I will gladly keep it for you
