@chuckbdc.. I agree that the carrera classic wheel is a knockout look, but I prefer to get 19" wheels (more rubber on the road) and is one of the reasons that put an end to the debate on my part between the 3.4 and the 3.8 991s. Also, I liked the platinum silver until I saw the gt silver which I agree is duller looking but I really like the looks of it, but I might revisit it again. If I can get the black in "natural" top grain leather along with lighter headliner, I will probably go for it, but if not, I will probably stick with an all black full leather interior instead of pouring money down the "exclusive" sinkhole. BTW.. thanks for all your input. I have always found your comments in other threads very much in line with my thoughts.

I have Platinum Silver with full black leather. It feels, lemme see, more like being inside a German leather lined pistol holster than a very expensive woman's handbag. But if you like very expensive women, by all means go for the espresso natural leather.
PS you won't go wrong with either option you described.

TY rpilot. Not sure I understand "19" wheels (more rubber on the road)". I think the contact patches will be the same. It used to be the case that higher profile tires (more pneumatic) were smoother riding, but the 991 suspension has changed that- the ride is supple in all sizes, especially with PASM. Other than that not sure of your build, but note that PSE cost just about what GT Silver does. Reading Gary's and Oldman's posts here my resolve to be grown up is fast fading and I am slipping into the ok just one alteration vortex.
