are you REALLY asking for opinion? if so...


78 Black Full Leather 2,995: why? you be driving it hard and going OTE a lot, you will spend weeks cleanign the leather with just one OTE.

P74 Bi-Xenon 1,090: good
450 PCCB 8,840: good

446 Wheel Caps and Crest 185: why?
P01 Adaptive Sport Seats 2,295: have you tried these? they really suck unless you are using it as a cummuter.

509 Fire Extinguisher 140: get aftermarket, they are better and nicer

XXz Foot Rest Aluminum 250: do you know that this piece is actually plastic with alum look, it is NOT alum.

810 Floor Mats - Interior Color 0: good

XME Rear Center Console Painted 730: why? your ring, watch, seat belt buckle will scratch it. i can bet with you on this one.

XPA 3-spoke Steering Wheel 0: good

XTV Door Finishers in Leather 360: you wont even notice it.

XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest 270: i drive with eyes looking foward, i wont spend much time looking at the crest behind my skull.

EZA Interior Package Carbon 890: these are plastic made to look like carbon, they are not carbon fiber.

X69 Carbon Door Sil Insignia 780: see above, and you will scratch it.

490 Sound Audio Plus 715: step on it, you will hear nothing but the motor.

that's how i would opt mine (actually i have zero option on mine). but you can order yours anyway you like.

Funny, I just told him the exact same thing over at rennlist. Great minds think a like.

Less is more on this car. It looks good as a stipper, or strippers look as good or stippers look better with less, this car is as good as any stipper I have ever seen.

I think I am loosing it.

Looks like you like it fairly vanilla? I appreciate your feedback.

you are now in 997TT price range!!!


A1 Black (white is better... it briings out all the other black parts and lines of the car... and yes, I know that half the cars are being ordered in white)
78 Black Full Leather 2,995 (the only leather you'll see is on the dashboard!!!)
P74 Bi-Xenon 1,090 (ok)
450 PCCB 8,840 (nice, but very expensive... I'd rather spend that money on porsche Driving Experience and improve my driving skills...)
446 Wheel Caps and Crest 185 (why!!! let your wheels be unique with the GT3 logo on them!!!)
P01 Adaptive Sport Seats 2,295 (is anyone else driving your car? do you need the full power seats with memory!!! not to mention the extra weight...)
509 Fire Extinguisher 140 (ok, but cosmetics...)
XXz Foot Rest Aluminum 250 (I like that option)
810 Floor Mats - Interior Color 0 (sure)
XME Rear Center Console Painted 730 (yes, if the exterior is in white, no if it's in black)
XPA 3-spoke Steering Wheel 0 (and not get the standard alcantara one!!! why!!!)
XTV Door Finishers in Leather 360 (why why why)
XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest 270 (nice one)
EZA Interior Package Carbon 890 (cosmetics...)
X69 Carbon Door Sil Insignia 780 (cosmetics...)
490 Sound Audio Plus 715 (important)

I have one on order, and I went for the basics... otherwise I'd be paying RS/TT money!!! while the GT3 is nicer than the TT, if priced the same, I'd get the TT... more of a daily driver... you're spending RS money on your GT3... be patient and find an RS :-)

My 05 is equipped exactly like your order, except for the Porsche crest in the seat. MSRP on mine was $123,000. I am satisfied with the equipment I have and really cannot see a need for anything else. I could do without the junky radio though.

Why, because that is why they call them options. One has the ability to configure as they deem appropriate, to suit individual taste. He clearly asked if there was anything he was missing on his order "NOT" ridicule for what he had ordered... Geez, thank God we all do not think alike!!!
