911 Carrera S with MT Package

A lot of debate whether this would happen.
It’s real:

And it is in the configurator now.

Good move Porsche! I think it will go over very well.

Nice wheels that aren't available on regular Carreras. I imagine there are more model-specific features.

A very attractive package indeed.

I have order in for the first allocation at one of the Bay Area dealers. Nov build and (hopefully) Jan delivery.

Good Luck with the allocation. Love to see your Porsche Code posted.

Congrats! Can I ask which Bay Area dealer?

Congrats! I know you're excited about the car - it's going to be quite special. I'm also curious about your build specs as well as the color.

Agreed, I just spent half an hour on the configurator for this car. Seems like a great 'pure' Porsche. Wonder if it's a coincidence that its rated horsepower of 473 is identical to the first 997 turbo? Always loved the uncluttered lines of the basic 992, and 473hp in that chassis is well beyond anything I could drive to the limit. Really makes me wonder when enough is enough...especially since launch control in the turbo s tends to scramble my brain and the last car I felt I could truly drive to its limits was a 1977 Corolla.

Also, the 473 hp is the current hp of 992.2 911 S cars.

Still debating a few things but here's the one we submitted on Tuesday:
https://porsche-code.com/PV9UV316
Oak Green Neo with black/limestone beige interior

Things under consideration:
* CL or 5-lug wheels - love the look of the GTS CL wheels but hate the CL PITA factor and I'm likely upgrade to something aftermarket regardless
* Rear seats (unlikely to ever use and don't want the weight, but resale?)
* Race-tex headliner
* Burmester (or upgrade the Bose like I did in my 718)
* Headlights (will probably ditch these - SA convinced me in person to upgrade but not sure it's worth it)

Welcome opinions on all (except the audio - that's just me making a decision).
