The Configurator has mistakes 99% of the time. I'm sure the U.S will get those options and many of the int'l configurators, it will just take a while before the U.S configurator is updated.

And the configurator available to the general public isn't as thorough as the one available to PCNA/Dealers. But I assume items such as these will be added in due time. The question is whether these options will be available in the US at launch, or not until a later date (which is relatively common with some Porsche options).

Rear 911 and Carrera S Delete. Carbon interior. Controversial Ducktail and lip. Still not sold, than again most of my interest is in 993's...

Have you guys that have built cars on the configurator looked at the prices of the car once you're done?! With the base price increase, option price increases and the addition of new options to select, the total price is getting out of control.
The Carrera S that I configured had the "must have" options from the past as well as some of the new good ones (burmeister) and it came to $124K. This is for a C2S people... not a GT3.
Once you get to $125K, there are many other cars out there to possibly choose. Used F430 for not much more...
Not more than a few years ago, you could get a great-specced brand new 996 for way under $100K. That's around a $35K price increase for the well-optioned brand new cars in under 7 years.
Just a thought...
