Yeah, he's selling. There is no build list because he's turning it back to stock. Obviously except the motor. But if you must have a stock motor PM me and I'll trade you mine for his when you buy the car.

I really hate sunroof's and was curious what the options were if you want a 996tt. If the sunroof was optional on 996tt, that would be ideal, but I'm sure they're rare if they exist.
Our 2001 Lapis blue 996T does not have a sunroof.

I believe the complete sunroof assembly adds about 35-40 pounds, and that is at the highest point of the car, making it one of the worst places ever concerning dynamic handling.

I would have paid a good premium to have a sunroof-delete car myself, but it would be extremely hard to find the perfect car (color, condition, mileage, price) which also offered the sunroof delete. I dream of putting a carbon roof on mine one day to fulfill my desires.

From 60 to about 85 or warmer depending on the drive and sun I never have it closed. I wouldn't want a car w/ out 1.

Just find a GT2. Faster, better handling, and no sunroof.

Wow that is nice. What can one expect to pay for that installed and ready to go? Are the prices different for a sunroof or non sunroof car?

Porsche deleted options

While the sunroof was standard on the 996 Turbo, and most US dealers added a fair amount of options, if you special ordered a Turbo the list of options including deletes was very extensive. A sunroof delete on a Turbo is rare (usually with a back seat delete/or replaced with storage bins). The leather options span a few pages. As with all Porsche options including deletes they add to the cost. Many buyers opted for the GT2 after realizing the cost of delete options to a Turbo.
