So happy Simon that I’m about to pull the trigger on a 992 carrera order!
Will be base car lightly breathed on with options…

Ha ha - good result.

Lightly specced until I’ve added my opinion!!

I’m not listening to you Tracky it costs a fortune!

White, Spyder wheels in satin black, 14w sports seats, ACC, folding mirrors, black/crayon interior, Porsche logo on side in red, PS+ and Bose (cos it’s noisier than Macan)
I don’t want PSE, or chrono or sunroof so £8k of options in total - job done.
Will be placing deposit tomorrow for 2024 delivery…
Edit: might be black/Bordeaux interior…

I’ve just saved you £5k, Jon!

Ditch black wheels, 14-way seats (4-way Sports Seats Plus are great), ACC, folding mirrors, Bose, reversing camera and side logos, and PS+.

I might add in Sports Exhaust though, and Sports Chrono!

Right Simon, now you have opened a can of worms! Can’t ditch ACC , use it every day to keep to speed limits mainly but can see the logic with the other stuff. If I was ditching black wheels would go agate grey as looks good with the platinum wheels.
Is SC really needed when sports button is right there in front of you on the 911?
Sports exhaust just doesn’t excite me, it just sounds like a blowing exhaust to me and could do without the noise…

Ha ha! Each to their own!

I’ve never tried ACC. And only use cruise control when on 50mph average speed sections on motorways etc.

I guess I’ve deleted (your) options that I don’t have, and added a couple that I do.

let’s see what Tracky suggests, am bracing for a £20k list of options!

Glad you’re happy, Jon!

Nice work! Go for a bold colour though, you only live once

First off

Ditch black wheels but those wheels are the best…

Ok, don’t want to get bogged down in this cos there’s two years to go (currently) but this is my other thought - see signature
Bottom line is I would like to stick to around £95k and I don’t think it needs half the stuff you could put on as a base car

[JurassicGTS]

So does the official Porsche boot liner not have a fabric flap that lifts out and covers the bumper?

If you want decent protection you could look here, this one has been in use since 2016, now in second Macan does the job really well. https://www.titancovers.co.uk/

I also have one of these, they are superb

I love Shark Blue! You could still ditch Bose, ACC, PS+, reversing camera etc!

This is hijacking the OP's thread so perhaps could be a new thread?

But I'm with Simon (again!). And just to be a little controversial on a Friday, ACC and rev cam on a 911 is close to admitting you can't drive, so should you be in a 911? Bose is wasted as on the move you can't hear the difference between it and the standard system, which is quite good anyway. I think the standard wheels look fine, the spyders are sods to clean, and the smaller size will be more comfortable. Bear in mind the Macan is a superb ride and the contrast with that of the 911 is huge. Make sure you have extended test drives and try out the higher spec seats. This is the biggest factor in determining how comfortable you will be driving the car. Try out sport chrono too. The mode switch on the steering wheel is perfect for switching modes and the boost button is a hoot. PAS is not necessary on the 911 (or the Macan!).

Of course, as you can see we all have opinions, but do think about whether this car is to be closer to a cruiser style, in which case you're looking to max on comfort options, or a thrilling sports car to have fun in. If the latter, opt for the sportier choices and enjoy a 911 to the full!
