I Understand that you want "true Weissach but surely it would suck to not have a/c in million dollar car. Personally, I would add back the a/c and the burmeister sound system.

Surely you can afford to buy a Rennlist membership if you can purchase 2 X 918s. Just sayin ...!

i tried to but i couldn't find a way of doing it anonymously... even paypal exposes my information... but you right, i guess i should probably suck it up and do it regardless of that.

Obviously, it is your money and you can do anything you want but since you asked; even if you were buying 5 of them, I would still put a/c on all of them. I can't think of any good reason not to have a/c on any configuration of that car.

Even if you don't check the box for A/C, the car still comes with it, it just doesn't include the blower that send the cold air to you. There is no point is not checking that box.

I note you have seat pad on the standard car spec, I would not bother. You sit on the seat with this and not in the seat...also don't forget the acid green stich to the steering wheel and sun visor...

Ordering two and making one a no excuse 918 makes sense.

Only problem is Porsche by placing all the internals isn't on the same page.
