GT3-RS and PCM

Would anyone spec PCM with a GT3-RS?

Do you think the PCM screen detracts from the classic track car look of the GT3-RS interior?

If I get the chance, I'd definitely get the PCM. I believe one of the Porsche development team said it weighed less than your lunch.

I think it is also a safety device while navigating around unfamiliar mountain roads. It is nice to know how hairy the next corner will be. Besides, we live in the technology age where everything is computerized.

At least you won't get lost going to the track!

It's a personal choice. I didn't get it in mine because I won't be using the functions that it has. I've had it on other Porsches' and never used neither the Navigation nor the built-in Phone.

I think if the RS is your daily, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to have it. However, I suspect most RS owners have it as their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. car. For me, I would only get an RS with minimal options, and all performance-enhancing. For the regular GT3, I'd definitely get the PCM.

That's why I got it. Because I would get lost going to the track, or coming home.

I was against PCM - my wife was for it. In the end I got PCM because adding XM or Sirius radio would be a seemless install. It's nice to listen to something while traveling to the track. I get tired of constantly changing CD's.

I passed on it for my order...seemed out of place on the RS. I do agree with some of the other comments, I would order it on the GT-3

Why not cruise control, an auto gearbox and cup holders, while you're at it?

PCM in an RS is an heresy!!!!!
