Whoopsy:I have a Touring config-ed. Just haven't send them.
I've been trying to finalize a Touring config, but the 2-tone interiors don't work correctly (at all) on the configurator.

Call up Exclusive.
You can have all the off menu stuff and get the exact 2-tone you want.
Someone else did mentioned about the unfair advantage the 'big spenders' have. Well it is what it is, we paid them enough for them to actually listen.

4trac:Yes, most of us now realize that... but wondering if there is an opportunity for some enterprising company to make a larger / high downforce ducktail boot lid, that better rebalances the F / R downforce after the picnic table is removed....
The full size ducktail that was introduced on the 73 Carrera RS 2.7 is much larger than the little lip on the bottom half of the 992 GT3 bi-plane rear wing. Even in its much larger form, it didn't produce any significant downforce. All it did was eliminate lift (and had the unexpected effect of reducing drag while eliminating lift - higher top speed with the ducktail).

Mithras:What about a mary Stuart ducktail?
Probably more effective, but never loved the look…

nberry:We are all dancing around the elephant in the room. That is, the 992GT 3 is a performance monster yet we are trying to find reasons to like it. The styling leaves much to be desired. We fixate on colors in an effort to compliment the car.

Joost:Is it just me, or is it striking how many pictures there are of 3/4 rear and how few there are of the front? Seems like marketing realizes it's not really a looker when seen from the front...
Marketing yes, but rather because the rear differentiates the Touring from the winged GT3.

Gnil:… and then when you talk to race drivers who have driven it they say : Porsche has done it again. The car is unbelievably good to drive, absolutely fantastic.
Yes, I have a friend who races one of Patrick Long's old 997 IMSA cars and he was in the pits of the Carrera Cup races in Watkins Glen this weekend. All the drivers were gushing about the new front end on the 992 Cup...

Wonder if the new front end will find its way onto more pedestrian 911s during the next PI update or if it remains exclusively motorsports division property.

I can second that opinion, all my friends who races the new Cup car positively loved it. They are loving the new found front end grip. 911 were lazy at turn-ins before, but now 'agile' is a word that's been associated with it.
Gnil:New option coming soon. Retrofit possible on 991.
Very confortable sits a bit lower then original will be good for airing3 different types Soft medium and firm
final product has the usual fabric over the mesh

This looks very promising indeed..... I'm want to get the Specialized 3d printed saddle but it's out of stock here, everyone is raving about how comfortable it is.
Will try to find it in Italy or Switzerland when I visit in few weeks.

Nice - that’s a good looking Orange (PTS Gulf, Signal, Tangerine or similar?)
