Thanks for posting this vid. It was FANTASTIC!!!
I met Long at the Rennsport last year and told him what a great driver I thought he was. He was so kind and gracious. A super nice person. I asked him if he would drive my GT3 (with me in the car) for a fee. He said he would love to drive it and drive it for FREE. Great guy!!

Cupholders were a $0 option, replacing the Carbon Fibre strip on the dash. Same option as on the regular RS and Boxster Sypder. A lot of RS buyers never noticed that you could get air conditioning, a stereo and cupholders by just checking the options list.

If you watch the video carefully, the video show the coffee in the cupholder is using the regular 997 dash cupholder that swings out near the vent. You can clearly see a dash vent and that the dash is full leather with red stitching; so no it was not just shot in another car.

You're right, I had the cup holders in my previous 11'RS...

If you watch the video carefully he drives with the window up but arrives with the window down....little details.
I think he needs to spend some $$ and change the yellow turn markers with some clear ones

I did a hot lap in a Panamera Turbo around road atlanta with him. It was very cool. He is a nice guy.
