Thinking about buying a 997 Turbo

Dear all,

I'm thinking about buy the new Turbo and I've made one quick list of the options I want. Do you think that I've forget something? I'm not interested by the PCCB because I will never track the car, it's only for normal (fast

) driving. Thank you very much.

Exterior : Carmon Red Metallic

Interior : Leather natural brown

Gearbox : Tiptronic S

Sunroof
ParkAssist
Sport Chrono Package Plus
Cruise control
Adaptive sports seats
Heated seats
Floor mats
Sycamore wood package, light
Sycamore wood package switch panel
Three-spoke multi-function steering wheel Sycamore wood, light
Door finishers Sycamore wood, light
Rear section of center console Sycamore wood, light
Six disc CD autochanger

Are you a woman/old man/or man with really big feet?

Otherwise I'd kill that Tip S option.

Ditch the tip and add the short shifter and LSD.

Re: Thinking about buying a 997 Turbo

It will be a beautiful machine. Some folks don't approve of wood in a P car's interior. I think its fine. Might add Porsche embossed emblem on front seat headrests. I neglected this and regret it. Tip is fine. PCCBs, though, would be a killer ap with the carmon. Good luck.

Re: Thinking about buying a 997 Turbo

not sure what yours or porsche's timeframe is but as was mentioned on here a day or so ago the thought is that when the new double clutch auto is available the tip prices will back off some. then again every day you dont have your tt you definitely wont be maximizing your fun potential, very important as time goes on. really like your choices, had a 99 tip boxster that was great if slow fun.
