no flames intended, but; a loaded up RS is ponderous....

just get a gussied up Turbo.

don't understand the concept of loading them up. really. guess it will look better at the coffee shop runs.

as someone said..."to each...."

Blue/Red/Silver wheels.
PCCB/Lion Bat/Front Lift/PCM/Sound plus/Ipod/XM/Chrono/full leather.
I am recosidering the color now that PTS is available. Suncoast sells the floor mats at 35% discount so just like paying Uncle Sam not a cent more than necessary.
The only must have for me would be PCCB.

floor mats
decal delete
blue toothe
ipod connect
thicker steering wheel
nipples painted white

less = more

PTS Mexico would be fantastic! Do a decal delete and paint the wheels black/graphite when it arrives.

I will skip PCCB, the new Red looks great.

PTS, decal color and contrasting parts including wheels are still red or gold, not silver.

Can you tell us more about the rear cage? Does the car comes with mounting points already? Thanks.

A bit extreme, no? Blinged up or stripped down, RS and Turbo are very different rides, IMHO. For me it's more about N/A vs Turbo.

Ok so am I the only one going with PTS?
08 RS Green, silver wheels gold trim.....Day it comes in paint wheels and ALL gold bits black .
Decal delete , Full leather , green stiching , i pod ,counsole green, Sound plus .

Really wish you could get black trim as an option, but the RS deserves a fun color!

Second choice is Mexico blue with slate grey bits.....

Comments ?

Hard to go wrong whichever you pick. Either will be unique and have Porsche cred. Check out this Maritime Blue 964 (sorry can't seem to copy the pictures):

Mexico blue/grey or black would be very cool IMO. Unique also. I like the green but it's an 08 RS - this one is something different so if you are going PTS I would go unique.

Is there a Turbo option? Just kidding. Think of the RS like1973. Less is more. I f Porsche continues to flood the market every 3 years or so, then forget it. But, a sparsely equipped RS is the best 911 you can get in my opinion at the present time.

Would like to have the LI battery but it is too cold up here.

IF I were ordering I'd go PTS and definitely wouldn't get a color (save white) that was available on the 997.1 RS.
