looked at the guide didnt find it, is it still possible, the sunroof is so small its really not worth the weight or the loss of headroom, esp when wearing helmet. anyone else miss this option?

Since it is no longer an option on the Carrera, I'm assuming you cannot delete it from the Turbo either.

Its no longer an option the government wasnted porsche to crash test more cars and they did not want to for the few nuts like me who order with no sunroof and it is a huge weight savings!

well that sucks, I cant believe it, the sunroof has this felt strip that always collects car wax and the weihgt , especially weight exactly where you dont want it! cmon Porsche hire a good lobbiest (sp?) get us back the individuality and uniqueness we love

EpDarks is infamous around these parts
Thats such a shame.

I'm sure the GT3/2 will have the sunroof delete, guess thats an option. Albeit and expensive one.

Yup GT3 has no sunroof however they will do a crash test but the GT3 is not 997 in the governments eyes it is a seperate car as well it is the shell of a C4 shell not a 997 rwd shell..they use this as they are reinforced and the shell is stiffer due to the C4 is AWD

you know we try and make our cars look "euro" at times with things like clear side markers and bump/wart deletes has anyone noticed alot of the 911s in Germany don't have sunroofs for reasons above

I wish they would offer the GT3 with a backseat, no cost delete, then me and a few hundred other guys with kids could get one instead of a TT.

Looking at the order guide, I noticed that sunroof is standard in the GT3 for the US/Canadian market.
