I hope you don't ever want to sell it. IMO AC delete is a mistake.

I see no reason to delete. You may get hurt on resale on both and I do not know if you will ever feel the weight difference. Just my $.02

Yeah, this has been expressed to me many times. I did unsellable things to my other car too, I guess I should be sad. But, is my car going to be the only one in the US with these options?

Will be hard to resell.

Not going to gain you much on track if anything.

Screw radio (but I wouldn't) but AC is a must.

I originally had the lightest weight spec possible, with both deletes, no lift and PCCB.

When the rumors of the next RS seemed to get more legitimate, I added everything back.

I have a '88 911 Clubsport that I bought new which has neither a radio or A/C and as a result I've driven it less than 15K since . It was novel as a kid , and the weight saving to ratio of the cars power might have meant something , but today I wouldn't even think about it . The CS tended to only get used in the early spring or a couple months in the fall - it was pretty miserable . Maybe as a form of torture you may want to do it , but I can't see where it would possibly make any performance difference . Would think it would be very difficult to sell . My 3 cents .

Why ? If you want a car for the track the majority of the time, buy a used cup car and a trailer. If your a streeter only and delete AC and stereo...lmao.

Yes - though I kept PCCB and might still do the radio delete.

Eh. I don't plan on using it as a DD. All I know is that when I track my cars, AC goes off and Radio goes off. Seems silly to have it on the car, if the only reason is resale. But maybe Im thinking of it the "wrong" way.

You won't be any faster for DE, open track days....why deny some creature comforts for road use ? I hope you get PCCB...that weight savings will really matter in the handling dept on track.

No

Ask a '73 RS owner if he's worried about resale because his car has no AC or radio.
