like the seat belts - i have had those on last 3 cars & if i keep my 991 will get them installed.

remember, if you want other things, go check the Suncoast site - amazing what you can pick up later to install & mod!

As I said before that's a great build. Let us know when scheduled to arrive, hopefully soon. It's been tough with all the snow we got recently to see my GTS parked in the garage, even with snow shoes I haven't had it out much.

"expected" May delivery date As you can see, based on all of the feedback, I a) passed on the Servo, and b) also deleted the carbon interior package. It was simply too expensive for some cosmetic pieces. Plus, I actually liked the dark wood best against the black alcantara interior. So, now I eagerly read all others' posts and try to help the next guy...

Good idea to pass on the servo steering, it feels weird on the panamera. Oddly I think it works well in my cayenne diesel and I don't mind it. The wood classes up the car, nice choice.

I agree on the Servo....weird, however, that the dealer here in FL puts it on 100% of the cars they order for inventory/. Really made me think that if Porsche wanted it on the car, it would be standard. Otherwise, they made it a very inexpensive add on for that "crowd" that needed the boosted steering....the car def felt light in the loafers on the test drive, so I elected to pass. Many people obviously love it, but I did not want to take the chance

Been watching YouTube reviews on this car... Don't evn have it yet, and I'm already thinking maybe I should buy it and not lease it...it looks that phreaking good. Man, four months is a long time to wait to Launch Control! Ha. Finally, unlike Nissans gtr, a launch control they WANT you to use

My wait was only a week (bought one off the lot, but needed to be shipped), but I remember watching alot of Youtube videos to hear the exhaust in that week!

Thanks Super and Disden.....I feel VERY fortunate to be able to have this car on order. Now my worry is that it will be that good, that I will wish I bought instead of leased it. However, I guess there is always something better :-)

I'll post pics, of course, when it arrives

Congrats on the purchase !! I can't wait to see this beast. I would consider getting a Rubber Mat Set if you haven't already. Hope the wait fly's by

The countdown to getting an ad trying to sell you something for your new car was 4 days, 1 hour. That's longer than usual!
