What would you like to see on a new turbo

We should gather a list and then forward it to Porsche. I am sure that 1000 turbo owners could have some design influence.

I would love to see the following
-better windshield wipers-perhaps like mercedes
-an ability to turn PSM off all the way
-a built in valet mode
-adjustable electronic suspension
-tire temp and pressure sensors
-the ability to turn off four wheel drive on the track or reduce it
-the ability to remove some weight for the track with out difficulty. ie-removable rear seats, and any other removable items porsche can think about
-better diverter valves
-a sunroof that doesn't make noise
-better linkage in the shifter housing-(not just a the short shifter option)

CJV, not certain, but I think it is an option delete. The issue my dealer noted, however, was that you might get a hole plug where the wiper arm was.

Rear windshield wiper "delete" is about 3000$ from factory, have that on my car. No plug just look like there never been any wiper.

I never saw a rear wiper delete in optin in the US order guide...
Also, a nice option I saw on a custom car in Europe once was a rear windshield washer (just like on the front).

HomeLink garage door opener in the mirror. I can't believe a car that cost this much doesn't have a solution for all the garage and gate openers. Plus 500 HP.
