"In the new generation of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management replaces the former all-wheel drive with its viscous multiple-plate clutch. This superior system developed for the 911 Turbo and modified for the Carrera models combines the driving pleasure so typical of Porsche with an even higher standard of driving stability, traction and agile handling further enhanced by the mechanical rear axle differential fitted as standard."
It seems that these cars indeed have the mechanical limited slip differential as standard! Exciting news!

I too have a launch car that I had the seats replaced with standard seats... I am still torn on that decision since the launch seats are awesome. However, I do have a track car with recaro pole position seats and they are a pain to get in and out of. So I imagine if you run errands for the wife and you are closing in on retirement these seats may be tough.

One of the main reasons that I am going this route is the seats. These cars have 98% of the options that I would order a car from new.
I am getting a CPO car with 13k miles! Very exciting!
I will add the roll bar, harness bars, and the paddle shift steering wheel.

We should have swapped the seats between us and saved a bunch of money
