I ended up purchasing a 987S at another dealer.

I compromised the color for the options (black instead of seal grey). My options include bi-xenon headlights, bose w/windstop, heated seats, pasm, sport chrono, 19" carrera s wheels, leather sport seats and sport shifter.

I wasn't looking for the sports shifter or 19" wheels. It was either getting this one or ordering an '06 and waiting 3 1/2 months. I'm very happy though.

FYI, the sports shifter is a lot stiffer than standard. 4th gear is still tricky but vertical throws are much better.

Also, not sure if this is normal but I noticed that sometimes first gear makes a rattling noise. Sounds like it's coming from the exhaust. It only happens in first gear at 3000rpm the first time I take off. Wonder what it could be.
