But my comment is, if it goes for anything north of $130,000, I’d still opt to spend slightly more money to get the 991.2 GT3.

The gas cap was a nod to my wife. I asked her for a Suncoast Al look one for my 991 last Christmas. She still makes fun of me for spending $60 on a shiny gas cap... But I smile every time I fill up.

The Bose in my 997 is pretty good though many owners seem to think it is not. Clearly they have not experienced the mediocre BMW Harman Kardon systems.

$60 is not bad… the aluminum look gas cap for the 997 is $185 from Suncoast. It is currently on sale for $140. I cannot get overboard for that price.

Edit: This past spring/summer I found myself listening to music less while driving the Z3 with the top down. Suddenly I much rather listen to the M54B30 as well as to my surroundings. Damn… I got old quick!

Does this mean this car could have gone higher with the 6sp manual?

Yes, an additional $10k+ if it had been a manual.

Josh and I would have such different builds it could never work, the transmission selection alone is a deal killer for Josh plus I am such a basic person when it comes to colors I literally only like white and black cars and for Sports cars I really only like Black interior.

Anyway I did make an error, it ends up the build would be for a May delivery but I told the Salesman I am going to wait it out for the Coupe(at least for now). He said that Porsche combined allocations this time around (3rd and 4th quarter) so the next release instead of January will be April, with 11 people ahead of me I don’t think I will be see an allocation until next year around this time.

Hmm… you might as well hold out for one of the first dot twos (992.2). What I would do, claim dibs on one of the first allocations.
