Have you driven a car with the Power Steering Plus? I have and didn't like it. I much prefer the standard Power Steering.

I didn't like the feel of the assist increasing as I was slowing to go around a tight corner. At speed the regular and the Plus are the same.

Great build.

I personally like the power steering plus as it only shows up at slow speeds. It makes the car feel more maneuverable.

If money is not a major issue I would consider PCCBs. They make a big differance on the street. If you can drive one with and one without and you will see what I mean.

PS. Burmester is the way to go.

The Porsche website says the keyless entry and drive system is included in the premium package plus.

Red looks good, i am just not a fan of red carpet. I would stick with what youve got. Except eliminate power steering plus. It feels a bit artificial. I like some heft in the steering! Great build though. Let the long wait begin!

The spec looks great. My reservation is the Sportdesign 20 wheel and is purely a personal thing. I don't think it looks as nice as the other wheels. My new favorite is the Sport Techno wheel. Its a wider wheel and tire combo and does away with the spacers.

Did I miss smokers package? It's a zero cost option (at least in NA) that adds an extra 12V plug and a nice cover that looks better than a hole.

I would try the Power Steering Plus before you buy it- it's not for everyone.

You have there a loaded spec. I spent 20k less than you and am still very happy with my car, so you will certainly be happier! Congrats! And I think you are set with what you have, yeah don't bother with power steering plus. BTW, you won't be able to notice the difference with 5mm spacers, which makes them unnecessary.
