I've been sucked into the Porsche car configurator, meaning that nobody will be seeing my for days to come.
Show me your dream 911!
I'm a sucker for blue interiors.

Despite the 1 million variations of the 911, Porsche does NOT yet offer my dream 911
If I was buying a new 911 what I would really, really want is a GT3 that does have back seats, and I would want the plaid cloth seats. And I would want it to be stick.

OK then I fully support this selection.
And actually I think that's what I'd get too if I was getting a new 911.

This is it! Carrera S with Powerkit, SportDesign Wheel, and a bunch of other goodies in Sapphire Blue Metallic. :)

Yep. If you see one on the street, it's not just any other 911. It's an awesome version that only very few people will notice.

Hey if I'm throwin down that much cash I want choices. But really all I want are those wheels. They would look badass on a targa 911.

Agreed.
Do you consider this ugly, or nice looking in this color combo?
I kinda like it.

Exactly! If the GT3 came with Manuél hangin' in the middle of the seats, it'd be an easy decision.

Now that I said what I want in an ideal world I'll say what I'd actually get in the real world.
If I was buying a new 911 I would get a C2S with ONLY these options:
1. Parking sensors
2. Upgraded stereo
3. Heated seats
That's literally it. I wouldn't get PDK. I wouldn't get PTV. I wouldn't get upgraded seats that adjust a million different ways. I wouldn't get a sunroof.
The only way to keep the cost of the 911 from going crazy is to not get options.

That's what I said I wanted, lol. A GT3 Manuél with back seats and plaid cloth on all seats

Eh. I've seen the Macan in black, white, and silver. It looked seriously amazing in black and white. Silver completely ruined it. I REALLY want to see it in that blue.

Sounds nice, I'd do probably just about the same.
Seats that you adjust a million different ways don't really do anything for me. You never get it just right, you always have to adjust the "quarter inch part of your thigh" so it doesn't feel uncomfortable and then everything else is not comfortable. Up, Down, Forward and back are the only controls that I need.

I have the base seats in my 997.2. BEST SEATS I'VE EVER OWNED IN ANY CAR!!!
They are so comfortable.

Haha, Nice! In both of the A4s that I've owned I've hard the 4 way plus those air cushion things and they've suited me well.
I'm hoping to join the Porsche ownership club in the next few years though :)
Probably starting with a 911 Carerra from the early 2000's.

Alright, does anyone else have a problem with it on OS X? When I try to use the 3D configurator (which is the only way to use it, otherwise you can't see any of the options hardly) it usually crashes the system. And when I say crash, I mean it freezes the screen and the machine responds to no input, and everything locks up. The only way to fix it is a hard reset. Really upsetting. Seems to happen in every browser, and at random time intervals. Sometimes I can be in it for hours (yes, yes I have done this) and no problem...other times it happens as soon as it switches over. Once it even happened in 2D mode but haven't been able to replicate that.
So until I figure this out, the Porsche configurator is less awesome for me.

Same, but even on Windows 7 I can't access the 3d configurator.

honestly it's worth it.
My 911 is the only car I have that I'm very attached to. It's not even that fast. Or that usable. Or very luxurious. But it's just so damn hard to imagine living without it.
When I first leased it at the end of 2010 I was worried that I'd regret it. I had never spent that much one one car (and still haven't). But I didn't regret it. I only regretted not doing it sooner!

Damn really? That sucks. It uses Unity, which I think causes the problem. Useful platform, but buggy from what I've seen with other stuff.

I would DD a Zonda and not even care if it got dinged cause I could always pay to get it fixed or buy another one
Being a billionaire would be sweet
