Sounds great! I would definitely add the thicker sports wheel and PSE( if possible). Check out the ORDER threads the past few days for more feed back.

Damn. I've had my 997S for 10 months now and haven't used my CD changer once. I guess I should at least try it to see if the thing works.

I find that CD changers are always counterproductive. The CD you're jonesing to listen to spur of the moment is ALWAYS invariably NOT loaded in the changer. So you're stuck popping it into the dash anyhow. My pedestrian Ford truck allows you to load 6 CD's right into the dash. It's the most convenient setup going, I'm surprised all automakers don't adopt it.

Oh yes, many thanks go to Carlos, do NOT forget the TPMS. Considering how expensive and important the wheels and tires are, it's a must-have option. Cost is about us$600.

I agree, but I prefer the old school TPMS--me; sitting on my stool; tire guage in hand.

I can understand soccer moms not bothering to check tire pressures, but on a Porsche? Fine if you want it, but a must have?

You probably don't like the convenience of ATM's and direct deposit either, huh?
There's already been a few reports of people having their TPMS alerting them of a slow leak. They were able to drive home safely and discovered the nail that was causing it. To have more real-time reporting the old fashioned way, you probably have to check your tire pressure at least once a day. I think TPMS is pretty cool and wish that I could've ordered it.

ATM? Bad analogy--funny, I've had 20 cars in the last 19 years and have not seen your slow leak problem; depending on temperature variations, you don't have to check tires weekly if that. When there's not much fluctuations, checking once a month should suffice.
And what will you do with TPMS if you want to run pressures lower than Porsche recommends, as at the track? Not to meantion, placing a lot of confidence that the system will not be trouble prone now or in the future.
Frankly, it kills me--tires have been on cars for say what, 100 plus years. And now we need computer tire pressure monitoring, to go with the pink poodle skirt option.

so I can't see why you wouldn't get it if you have the choice to, given its advantages compared to the traditional system of measuring tires pressures, and considering its a non retrofitable option and only 600$, I personally highly recommend it.

Good points. However, it's still nice to have for a warning system if you can disable the system for track use, don't you agree?

Can it be defeated for the track? And how's that work? That might change my opinion--if I can shut it down and it stays off (as opposed to having to defeat it everytime you start the car, like PSM) it might be OK.
