Pasm

It seems that PASM and PASM Sport are different. PASM sport is optional and lowers the car another 10 mm. Per the Porsche website: PASM, the electronic suspension control system, is fitted as standard..., the suspension is lowered by 10 mm. As an option for the Coupé models, the ride height can be lowered by 20 mm with an even sportier suspension setting.

Perfect. I thought PASM Sport was included, but after reading up on it it's not.

Got confused with the "SPASM"

PASM Sport is the optional one. A great option to get though! I have it and the lower stance is great.

Yeah SPASM is an extra $1K here in Canada.

Anyway, I woke up this morning back to GT Silver, and sent a note to my Porsche guy to swap it back.

Yeah, I'm done changing the colors. I told him not to let me change the colors again. GT Silver it is.

This image inspired me even more, I think it is GT Silver:




Now, smokers package or not?

Great picture! Great choice! The silver shows the lines and shape of the car the best.

Depends if you plan on smoking or not?? Ha ha.

If not, get rid of the lighter and ash tray or whatever it is.

I don't smoke, but I think the lines of the console look better with the cover.

That is a good point. I never use that little storage spot anyway.

I might find a use for it someday who knows.

Some people have done some creative modifications putting radar detector controls there, etc...

If that's the biggest decision you have to make right now, you're doing pretty well!

Home stretch is here!

Yeah man. This is my last decision.

I just did some research. $600 to add the smokers package, $55 to add the cup. As it is a $0 option I will take it and if required will remove later.

Phew all done.

Hopefully I will be able to sleep at night.

I would highly recommend full leather. I've had two 991s with it and one without. I would never again own a 911 without it. It will be the first option I add on all future 911s.

Have you checked out Rhodium Silver?

Lastly, you'll love the contrast of the glass roof and black wheels on a light color.

Go with the smoker package covered tray. Looks nicer and cleaner with the lid IMO. And the price is right.

I hear ya on the leather, but I sat and drove in both and to me it was not worth the extra cash.

On the Rhodium, yes. I really wanted to like it, but in the sun it is just too blue for me. The GT is a more neutral grey.

Agreed, the black roof will look great.

Thanks for the post.

For me, it's just the right amount of blue to make it different. Looks almost identical to Polar Silver, which IMO is the best color Porsche has made. Here are a few pics of mine in different lightning.....
