Default Back to a Targa.

After listing all the reasons here why a cab is actually more "practical" than a Targa, I got a call late last month that an "extra" allocation for a Targa 4S was unsold. After a lot of back and forth, we came to terms today.
February build. Freezes 1/11 but based on my past experience and time of year, I wouldn't be surprised if that is shortened.

Anyhow, here's the build code so you all can let me know the multitude of sins in our choices:

Porsche Code: PRYR4NC6

Have at it. I think this is pretty set but always open to corrective comments for errors of omission or commission.

Maybe just list your build rather than make us reverse engineer it?
Screenshot your options/colors, etc.

Because the Internet is lazy, I guess
https://configurator.porsche.com/en-...dFrom=PRYR4NC6

You should obviously be able to figure it out, such a simple url.

Yeah I don't know why it isn't working here. Worked fine for me on computer.
Try this (plus BOSE):

Not necessarily. Obviously.

Great color combination esp. on a Targa.

Great build! I wish the configurator would show the deviated seat centers though, unless I'm missing something. The chalk interior is great too but I'd be worried it would discolor or stain too easily.

I like the quad pipes, for sure, but would feel like I'm missing something by not speccing the sport pipes.

Other than what I've said above, it's an awesome build.

Correct, the Configurator does not show the deviated seat centers. I’ve been around a long time and can say with certainty the Configurator is worse, not better, than it used to be (who remembers 3D rendering?).

My last 3 cars have had sport exhaust. Always ended up turning it off. Especially if the boss was on board. I actually like the quad pipes look, money savings aside.

Thanks. Just got an email that freeze date pushed back to 1/31, but don’t think I’ll change anything. We talked about doing PECLA delivery since both kids live in LA but have a lot of travel scheduled this coming year and our old cat doesn’t like the cat hotel.

Thanks for posting that! Very, very nice! I’ve been going back and forth between cabs and Targas over the last 8 years. Both have their virtues. Can’t afford both at once.

What a beautiful build! Every time I see a Targa build and being a lover of open top motoring, I get envious. Nice color for the interior and color being so personal, to me, I enjoy this combo just a little more than yours (blue roof, silver targa bar). The targa bar picks up the wheel colors and the roof picks up the Gentian Blue paint.
Cheers!
