May have to switch from t4 to C2S, thoughts on switch and color

Hi
Apparantely Targa allocations are getting rare , so dealer suggested if I would take a c2s allocation instead, C2 was my second choice so may consider it
So i am redoing the options ,color etc again, thinking
1) Carerra white C2S PDK
2) Black full leather with Adaptive seats
3) Rear center console-exterior white color
4) Arm rest in Alcantara
5) Sport chrono, Heated seats and wheel, dimming lights, multi finction pdk wheel, XM, Nav, blutettooth

Saw a white gt3 with black full leather sport seats and rear console in white so I am thinking of doing the same color on c2s

I have to say I really do prefer the 2WD over AWD but you just need to drive them both. Not sure if you want a "fun" weekend car or a daily driver. The GT3 is a fantastic car but requires more effort and attention than a PDK car. It also has that peach of an engine.. Hard choice indeed.

Alex,
I am only considering C2S PDk and the color / interior choices I have selected are from a GT3 car on the showroom floor

Wink Targas Available

We had a tech session today at Carosuel Porsche: http://carousel.porschedealer.com/ here in Minneapolis and they have two new targas on the floor.
I think if your sales person does a locator search you might find one to your liking.

Loved the targa but when i drove it gainst a convertible I then realized how open the conv feels so the targa gives some openess but not a lot, so I was wondering if I would be disatisifeid on a long term with what the targa provides especially for the premium it commands ( 8k and 6k for awd which i do not need ) so for a price of T4 I can get a C2 s with full leather (

So i a m considering the c2 s also now

You are in the right car with nice options . You could throw some stitching on those seats but its not necessary . I don;t have it on minev but my car was bought off the showroom floor . Look at this white car's interior with red stitching even on the steering wheel Looks nice . You can choose other colors too. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ara-white.html

I agree, the deviating stitching, especially on black full leather, adds a wonderful touch. How much is the deviating stitching option?

the seats are about $1,500 and it is about $300 per other item; eg $300 for the door handles; $300 for the centre console etc etc

i tested a boxster last year for a few days and it was white with the white centre console,i really liked it.

sport seats?
carbon package - pretty cheap and takes away some of that plain trim?
crested headrests?

Since Casaforte9 is picking out white with black interior the stiching will already be in a very light grayish white and going with full white sticking will not be all that noticable. If he picked out red or yellow and did deviated stiching in red or yellow to match the car color then those color would really make the interior pop.

I have a guards red and wanted deviated stiching on the sport seats door handle and e-brake but I was told I needed to do full leather interior to have this done so I passed.
