Welcome @JohnH. Congrats!
What other vehicles were you considering before deciding to go with the 992? Also what options did you spec it with?

Thanks. I didn't really consider anything else. To explain, the 911 was introduced and became popular in North America when I was in my pre-teen to teen years- the years I consider to be an individuals automotive formative years. The 911 has been my favourite since then- along with various Ferrari models. But most Ferraris are either not practical or affordable. So after I retired my wife and I decided we didn't need a full sized car but we did need a back seat for our small dog. The other 4 seaters didn't really measure up to my idea of a everyday sports car. I had been looking at the 991 generation but when the 992 hit the market I was sold.
Options- the list I included in my original post covered most of the options. I'm a believer in the "keep it simple" philosophy. Rear wheel steer, for example, seems like one more thing to go wrong eventually. S- 440 ish HP would be nice but 380 ish in the base model certainly is adequate. 4 wheel drive- probably better on the track but most of my driving will be highway/city and I've always preferred rear wheel drive, year round.
