What's not to like... congratulations!

So, not getting the PDK? hehehe (I guess you prefer the extra thing next to the brake)

No PDK for me, I like shifting, it gives me driving pleasure and feedback. I will get a set of Toyo R888 in stock sizes for the track and Pagid pads.

Default why not an S?

So tell us about your decision making process, why not an S, when an S would give you at least some of options you have checked, 19" wheels and PASM for instance. I like your spec just interested?

Thanks

19s are required with the PASM/LSD option.

bnh - for me at least, an 'S' with the same options is getting into 997GT3 money. Would rather (and may if I get impatient) go that route if spending near $100k.

For me it's a required option to get the rear insignia in body color.

I have to agree--why get PASM and 19's and not get the S?

The base car is great if you don't want those options, but if you do it brings the price oh-so-close to an S and starts not to make sense.

2008 C2 Coupe, enough leather and doodads to have bought an S. I ordered it that way and have no regrets.
