You have adaptive sport seat plus listed twice??????????

I doubt I could ever get a Boxster over $100K because I'd never buy PDK (I just really like rowing gears, and I don't ever want a reason for my wife to be able to drive the Porsches) or any fancy seat options. Park Assist? Are your kidding me? Sirus radio? I listen to the engine and wind. PCCB's? That would be a tough call. You don't really save much on unsprung weight (maybe 7 pounds total) and I'm not Patrick Long. The BIG reds are excellent. Plus, I don't like the yellow calipers. The only kicker would be less brake dust/dirt. That would be reason enough to tip me over the edge. "Paint To Sample", about a $5K option would be very tempting too.

Fun excercise.

I remember when I ordered my 2006 back in September of 2005. I worked very hard to keep it under $70K. With a 65 page order guide, it was not easy to do. talk about a "fat kid in a candy shop".

Yeah, the fact that the sport seats made it twice on the list baffled me as well
Park assist - I loooooove gadgets of all kinds
Sirius - how else can you listen to BBC America ?
Flappy paddle gearshifts - I KILL clutches, literally
PCCB - finally no longer having to change the brake pads before track days - priceless
