Spyder RS build😁

[Mojonito]

I know you're having fun with it. Interesting regarding the sound and handling differences vs the GT4RS that you had before, but your reasoning certainly makes sense - open top for sound and less downforce. Watch out for the Gendarmes! Lol. (I haven't forgotten the pic you posted - that was an easy encounter.) Anyway, back to that "fun" aspect you mentioned...

I locked the build for a 911 PTS allocation that came through last week. Maybe here by June of July.

Congrats! Color choice?

VBRG - Verde British Racing Green. I'll start a thread at some point.

Pic below is from the new 360° views in the updated Configurator. The new 360° views are really cool - and helpful. Plus, vehicle colors are much more accurate than the static config pics which are beyond horrible. I've told others that it's best to NEVER pick a color, standard or upgraded, based on what one sees in the configurator. The colors are so far off. Picking a color solely on what the configurator shows is a recipe for disappointment.

Can also find more accurate Paint To Sample (however, still not perfect) at another Porsche.com site. Pick the Porsche model line and then the color family (or all colors for any given model).

Very elegant and appropriate. The heritage interior or a baseball leather would look fantastic. What are you planning?

Club Leather - Truffle Brown.

A couple of renditions from the 360° view. With the 360, one can click to open doors, gas filler lid and front lid, can pick five diff backgrounds, can choose day or evening views, can rotate all around and over in every direction.

Uh oh. Went to the dealer to get wife’s boxster serviced. This followed me home.

Looks great -- I'm a sucker for white. Manual transmission?

[Mojonito]

It is a manual. I’ve never owned a 911 coupe or a manual 911. I saw it and it gave me a funny feeling inside. I decided why the hell not. I’ll give it a try and if this manual turbo rumor comes to fruition maybe go that route if I like it. I can vehemently say I love it. Such a fun car to drive. The manual is like butter. Handles great. I love the torque of the turbos for daily driving. So next step, either build a 992.2 manual t (this one is a 992.1), turbo manual (if it happens), or just keep this. It’s a great problem to have. Also, this thing got 28 mpg at a VERY spirited pace on the way home for 6 hours. I was blown away. Highly recommend
