I finally placed the order today!!! What a journey it has been...but finally, I think I have a winner.. detail below:

Individual equipment
Burmester® Audio Package
Premium Package Plus with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
GT Silver Metallic
Espresso natural leather interior
Window trim in high gloss Aluminum
ParkAssist (front and rear)
Electric sunroof
Electric folding exterior mirrors
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) with PASM sport suspension
Sport Exhaust System
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
Sport Chrono Package
20-inch Carrera Classic wheel
Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest
Smoking package
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way)
Seat belts in Silver Grey
Multi-function steering wheel
Natural leather interior
Steering column casing in leather

Some snapshots of the config attached... These don't do justice to magnificent GT Silver but what the heck...this is closest to it!

Wow this is good news - I thought the roof would be super delayed. Congrats, the car will be amazing.

Absolutely...you could count on it. But the funny thing is, all I've driven so far is C2S (both 991/997). I'm actually planning to drive 997 GTS4/4S today to get a feeling for awd vs rwd. I know that awd sticks well but not sure it'll feel heavier than 2wd or same or better...there're a LOT of opinions around each one being better but I'd like to judge myself.

When I drove 997 C2S vs 991 C2S there's marked difference (in a good way) in 991 drive... So not sure if 997 4S/GTS4 give me a good feeling how 9914S is going to be. 991 4/4s demo cars arrive sometime in Nov...that's when I guess I'll know for sure.

I drove the 991 Base MT and I will tell you that it didn't feel all that different from the Targa4S I own - maybe a little less powerful and more push/pull in turns courtesy of AWD but the planted feeling of the 991 is evident compared to the C2 997.2 I had driven in the past. Look forward to reviews - its a special car and I am sure you will all enjoy. I am still holding out for the GT3 or Targa - will see what the wallet hit feels like after the M5

Is that because it's a 4S or does it usually take that long?
