981 Spyder!!!!
#1156
Mine arrived, compared to prior '15 Boxster GTS with X73 and PTV, chassis feels the same, steering 10x better, more torque, and roof is PITA, not flimsy but feels a bit fragile -- or lets say, not bank vault robust.
A lot of fun in a nice package...

Yep, rear camera a must in my view. 1,200 miles on mine and loving it. Most fun I've had in a car since I was eighteen and thrashing a tuned Renault 5 turbo round back lanes. First track day arrives in a week with a few GT4s to compare notes with, can't wait!

Just wanted to note the RED sun-visors! I should have gotten the leather seat backs because it is really noticeable and it looks great in red. I'm regretting that now with these recent pictures of red interiors. More pictures please!
#1162
Here is the build and a few more pictures. Btw, I didn't do ED with this one after all, would have been great though. And I should have mentioned the shifter -- wow, so much better.

SA came back confirming that sun visors would be black... so I changed to alcantara... now seeing this is confirming that (unless route 1 special ordered red ones which i was told would cost me $1000's)... that sun visors are indeed RED!
Not blaming my SAwho is a buddy... but why is it so damn hard for PCNA to give correct info???

I'm just noticing this and praying that my order hasn't locked. I asked my SA to check with Porsche to make sure that leather sun visors with the Spyder package were in fact RED... based on pics on the internet this is what I thought.

No, no special orders... i find that even the best SA's can't keep up with all of the options and variations. Like on GT4, for some reason you can't order the carbon fiber shifter ... which is presumably the same unit as on the Spyder. And even though the seats in my build say 18-way "memory" seats, there is no memory ...
anyway, Just asked to change the sun visors back from alcantara to leather... and looking at the pic, I may even go with the leather instrument surround, not sure yet.
how does the red plastic of the instrument surround match your red leather now that you see it in real life?

So if i were to summarize the Spyder v. GTS in my opinion:
+Steering
+Torque
+Shifter
+Sound
+Styling
0 Chassis seems the same
-Roof
-Everyday "usability" options like PASM, ventilated seats, Entry&Drive, Memory positions

he specifically asked PCNA and sent the original picture of red interior we had found online which showed the red column leather and red sun visors... was told that they were both black leather and that the picture must have showed a special order for the steering column and sun visors! argh!
