Axle-Differential Lock Rear on 997TT?
Hello All:
Just joined and first post. I am finalizing my order for 6-speed 997TT (Oct production, delivery ETA Dec) and my only remaining question is regarding the "Axle-Differential Lock Rear"option. I have asked two different guys at dealer and gotten two somewhat different answers (neither of which gave me great comfort). What is your take on precisely what this option provides for? To the extent you believe "important" (as one of the Porsche sales guys indicated), I find it interesting that Porsche would not provide this feature by default, let alone charge nearly a grand for it. Then again, they seem to be able to get away with charging $765 for a 'sport shifter' in a 500hp sports car that has a base sticker of nearly $130M [with taxes] (setting aside the apparent inconsistency that I feel a $9M brake upgrade option is reasonable
). Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
