How does the exhaust sound? And the rims are they the 20 or 21?

PDCC is pricey. In addition to the benefits discussed above, the effectiveness of the sway bars is reduced when not cornering. That allows the suspension to work more independently on rough roads helping smooth the ride. So PDCC has two benefits.

So the pics show the GTS at stock height not lowered. It a finger higher than my 17 4S when it’s parked in lowered mode. The car is a little quite though with new particle filters. Deeper growl than my sport package 4S but maybe not that much louder. Just going on recollection of the test drive.
One more tip. Order the car with the retractable tonneau cover.
I noticed my sports exhaust sounds better with the hard tonneau cover removed completely. Bass also sounds louder and deeper. Think about it the hard cover that swivels up is heavily insulated and diminishes the sound of both.
The retractable cover is $150 option when configuring and is soft so it conforms to stuff you cram in the back when you’re packing stuff in.

I tried buying the retractable cover for my 17 car but at $1000 for 6 more months of my lease not worth it. I just have a black towel to cover up stuff for privacy.

I actually asked for that option from your previous comment but it was too late. The car was locked
Dealer said its a good sign that the car could arrive earlier than expected, haven't heard any update in 3 weeks now lol

it sounds good, but I know it’d be louder if not for the particle filters. Search YouTube for comparison videos of the prior 911 to the new 911. Regardless it still sounds good.


see video at 2:10 to hear the sound difference with the new filters.

wheels in pics are the 21. The black stock 20s look good in video reviews in case you went that route.

you can prob get the regular retractable cover for like $300-400. My 17 has the power privacy screen that rolls up so that’s why is was almost $1000

Damn that startup sound is depressing! I ordered the 21inch jet-black rims but haven't actually seen them IRL since the configurator is not trustworthy.

those rims will have a metallic black finish to them like a Metallic black car vs solid glossy black non Metallic.
it will look premium. I’m getting reg glossy black but considered jet black too.
