My first post. This thread is relevant to me because I am hoping for Sport Classic Gray PTS and $ 13,000 may be more than I am willing to spend for PTS. Plus, I do want the black GT3 wheels, too, so there's another $ 3,395. Ouch. Part of me wonders if they will ***** out Sport Classic Gray...but I don't want to jack this thread...unless it's run it's course for the original post?
I have a August build for 2011 GT3 RS.
Cheers!

You're wrong. $5500 + $7500 = $13,000 if you want PTS plus mirrors, wheels, front intake and wing plates painted anything but red or gold. I am a little pissed right now because I ordered black wheels, thinking they would be no more than the GT3 ($1630) or the previous RS ($2160) but they just sent me a new Pro Forma showing the black wheels at $3395, plus a bump in option CLA from $1105 to $1295, CMN from $1010 to $1195 and the FREE floor mats are now $90. Oh, and it included the notification: "NO CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE". I am so done with those Bas*ards. 
p.s. This was a 2010 order that they bumped to 2011 with a $2700 increase in base price... making the car $4400 more than the original order!

As for "no changes" I'm afraid the days of getting someone on the phone are long gone -- it seems that the factory process no longer has the facility of human intervention beyond a certain point. Not that I miss the 993 production days (though I wish I could still order a 993 today ... forget this water-bucket technology!)

^ You were much smarter with your spec.
Doesn't it seem odd to be told the option prices, AFTER the car locks down? No opportunity to reject any of the new 'gouges' (or any other options) to bring the price back in line. Notice how the DZH order sheet was also devoid of pricing? Sort of like going out for dinner and having no prices on the menu. I was dumb enough to do that once, too, and ended up paying $80 for a lobster salad! It did seem strange to me that the DZH order sheet did not disclose prices for any of the customization options but contained this warning: Important: Once the request is approved for a vehicle, all options on the order will be locked (no further changes possible)!

Other than that, I did teeter on the brink of going "the whole hog" and getting full leather and a carbon rear console, carbon sills, carbon shifter and e-brake lever, etc., but I decided to go "lightweight" and chose the Li-Ion battery and lightweight headlights (especially because I detest the chrome plastic pimple of the HID lights and night driving a 450hp RS voids my life insurance policy ... : )
I have to say, having driven it on the street today, the car is so rewarding, I don't have any judgement or regrets about the thing. I'm happy with the white, it's easy to remove the wing and drive it "stealth" (as stealth gets in a new wide body Porsche 911 that sounds as loud as a nearby volcano eruption ... : )
If you're 100% happy with the car you've ordered, I can only counsel not letting the absurdity of the price deter you or distract you from enjoying the car.
