Don't they just drive Boxsters?
(Manuals....)It's a nice build you put together BTW. Love the combination of black with agate interior!

Yeah, I still fear that I'll not use SC much.. But I guess I'll find out, something seems to make everyone like it so I'm going to gamble on it..
You know the funny thing about seat heating is ( living in southern calif which presumably is pretty mild temps) on my last car I absolutely refused to pay for that function but I got stuck with it it anyway.. Thinking it was useless..
And I had to admit it was kinda nice and I found it was nice in the winter.. lol of course in socal we are such whus's as we are cold when it drops below 60F...lol...

We'll today was the day...finally pulled the trigger.. And wrote the deposit check.
Long road from thinking about a late model 911
Then maybe a new cayman..
Then a new base c2
Then order a base c2 so I could get something not so loaded..
Then maybe a leather interior and a few options like pse and sc
Then maybe a c2s with pdk and more stuff..
Lol.. Costs more than my first house....But in 4 months it will be mine

Ok, After a million questions and fidgeting I think I'm there with my build options. Going to place the order later this week.. Thanks for all that have provided input to me so far and helping my learning curve..
Feel free to critique away...based on my usage givens...
Usage Givens:
1) Like a spirited car and may find some mountain and open roads to enjoy occasionally but not going to track (ever). SC was a debate for me, but in the end I added mainly to get for Port+ in PDK manual
2) Will Be DD that I most likely will keep for 5+ years..
3) Like some luxury, so leather is important.. although not going nuts with the additional leather options, stitching etc..
4) Struggled with 4 way vs 14 way seats.. Was going to go with 4way, but liked the automatic exit etc.. (otherwise memory oriented functions aren't of much value)
5) Sport Exhaust was a given for me..
6) Struggled with Base audio vs Bose vs Burmeiser.. In the end I went middle of the road.. Not excited about Bose but since I was getting XM and HD Radio didn't make sense to add that to Base Audio..
7) Originally set on MT, but gradually have come to appreciate the PDK and what it can offer..

nice build. I stuck with mt even in sc. I've had paddle shifting before and i never used it. I always thought of getting mt in a sports car. I dont mind the traffic or constant shifting. To me i want to feel "one" with the car. Also being fractions of a second faster doesnt matter to me.
