    Just for kicks I was thinking 2S or 4S, PDK (after driving this is is just great, would like to try the MT though), Agate grey (read classy), 2 tone natural leather espresso cognac (read ultra classy), mirror sunroof (super good looking with the Agate color), some more leather finish on the inside, sports package (rear wheel steering is cool, center exhaust is cool too), front axle lift (just because), standard wheels (look awesome, spiders look good too), premium package+ (because this thing includes all the basic stuff you want) with 14 way seats ventilated and heated (it's hot in CA), multi function steering wheel.
    If you don't get the MT you might as well get a Tesla. It's for CA anyway so that would be a better choice. I won't drive it cross country for you, though, because I don't have time to stop every 3 hours to charge it.

    Stereo in mine has been dead for 15 years. Couple times a year I push the power button to see if it has healed itself.

    After driving the PDK in Sport+ mode I would not want anything "sportier" than that. Having been raised on MT though I would want to try one of these but good luck finding one for a test drive.

    As for Tesla I have driven the latest/greatest, now way in hell I would be buying one of these.

    to each's own i suppose. i hate the way center exhausts look- there is nothing in the premium package i would every want- and if they made a club sport with the sound deadening material removed- recarros bolted to the floor and roll-up windows and a rear seat delete i'd probably get that.

    and white porsches are pro. it's the only color they should come in.
    Not planning to trash this on a track. Looking for a daily driver :)

    I was totally blown away. This thing is so good from the go easy in traffic mode to the sport+ mode, in that last one you better hang on to your seat, gears are changing at the red/zone, downshifts are insane, etc...

    They give you all those customization options because many owners want a unique car and are willing to pay for it

    I bought my Boxster S knowing exactly what I wanted (Crmen Red Exterior w Tan leather interior, 6 speed, bigger rubber & Cruise control to keep me out of trouble) Having the dealer find one for me and then negotiating from there Worked like a charm

    There is no substitute

    Porsche has been known to build some very quick and nice ambulances.

    I bought a 2016 911 GTS with PDK. It's just an amazing driving car. I did test drive a 2S with the manager al transmission and thought it was the absolute best shifting manual I have ever touched. PDK car won out though due to color and options.

    Craig, you should check out this Cayman: 28 Porsche Cayman S Apparently, the interior is in "emasculate" condition, but the rest of the car sounds pretty nice - lots of recent work.

    Lionel, to Matt's point about Tesla, you could wait another generation (992?) and probably get an e-911.

    Not when they were taking them out to The Bridge.
