I think it looks good when the mirrors are folded and it's an easy way to see that the car is locked, but it doesn't really provide much difference in terms of how close someone can get/be without hitting your car.
I chose the leather encasedcase steering column with memory package. Quite frankly, I couldn’t figure out what the memory package included. …. from your statement it sounds like the memory package with the leather steering column includes folding mirrors? Please confirm. What else does that package include? Thanks.

Nice build but:

1. Add Premium Package
2. Add Sports Package (you've already added sports exhaust and lower suspension. You also get sports chrono in the sports package. The bundle is cheaper than individual options)
3. RAS + PDCC has been extensively discussed. If budget is not an issue then get it.
4. GT steering wheel is much nicer then standard.

I think 1 and 2 are quite important. I have hardly seen a 992 S build without these two packages. Eventually you will sell and upgrade and many look for sports and premium packages.

It's a nice build.

At that price point not selecting the premium package with surround view, LCA is a big mistake. They are very helpful, particularly the cameras, for parking. The LCA is an extra level of safety when religiously checking mirrors. Neither option makes you less of a man or the car less of a sports car.

Skip the sport side skirts and get the Gt3 ones afterwards.

I think the 18 ways are better.

PDCC is nice. I keep the car in sport suspension and the PDCC really gives a good ride then firms the car up in the corners. I like the flat cornering and have had PDCC on my last three 911s. RAS is most noticed for the shorter turn radius. It's not much but does make u-turns on side streets better plus the subtle performance boost.

That said, they aren't critical and if your concerned on cost I'd skip but get the premium package items 100%

I chose the 18 way seats and both the 14 and 18 way include memory package. Memory package t saves up to 3 seat/mirror preferences and allows you to control the passenger seat from the center screen. It also includes folding mirrors. I did NOT spec folding mirrors and my car definitely has them. Pretty sure folding mirrors are included in the memory package, but additional leather is an added cost option regardless of seat selection.

Yes, skip them both. And it has nothing to do with budget.

My GTS has RAS and PDCC and I like them both and would choose them again.

Just an fyi-the RAS comes with a lithium battery-which lasts longer but costs 2500 to replace.

Depending on where you live, definitely something to think about.
I have a 992 Targa4GTS and although it’s not that low, having FAL really helps me navigate through underground parking lots and speed bumps, not having to worry that something would scratch my car
just my 2 cents

Did you option RAS and PDCC on your targa?

im building my and trying to figure out if its worth it.

PDCC in every case I got it in made car less fun, more artificial, and for sure more impressive but took away from its Porscheness. If it's on a Targa or 'luxury' build then PDCC will make car more comfortable and less fun if you ask me...
RWS is quite interesting, I have it in my 991.2 T and 992 GT3T but in neither of my 992C2S's and it does make car more lively but its absence also give car a more pure handling response, a little more understeer but I enjoy both. If it's your only 911 then I would say get it... though as you know the S/T doesn't have it, make what you will of that...

a couple sources quote the engineers that it is quite literally a weight savings reason.

You have a nice config and won’t be disappointed. Lots of opinions offered for and against certain features, but unless you have driven a 911 with those features, and one without, will be hard to appreciate or assess one way or another. Your S will be enjoyable either way.

Hope you get your Shark Blue. It has been recently noted as moving to PTS.

Jeff, my configuration locked and I got shark blue! I understand if your build date was in late March the color wasn’t available. So I feel real lucky!

My targa c4s had both

My targa gts has neither

I like the way the gts with neither drives better
