Default 718 GT4

Hello All,

I am new here, placed order for 718 GT4. I plan to use it only for track days and very little road drive (have 992 4S for that).
Any thoughts on my specification: PLCSGLA1

Thanks!

Only question is why you're including Nav if it's a track-only car? In the US it's an expensive ($2000) option, especially if you're not going to be really using it.

Also auto dimming mirrors and rain sensor in not needed for track..more $$$. Also if you have to replace the windshield (probable when tracking) one more thing to worry about.
As for the color you picked the fastest one...RY!

You could swap Nav with CarPlay if you use iPhone... cheaper and you can use Nav on the iPhone on the car display...
I ordered almost the same config (yellow as well)... black rims, no reverse camera, just the sensor... Added the Yellow sew interior, yellow mark on steering, yellow safety belt.
The Porsche guy added the smoker package that gives a better finish to the console... will get the car 2019/11/22

Yes, in Europe it cost nearly same, but i really liked track precision app on my C4S. Seems the app will not work without Nav...

I am still thinking about: Yellow sew interior, yellow mark on steering, yellow safety belt. The really looks good in youtube videos.
Whats about smoker package? What it changes?
I will get my car end of December

You could skip the Nav and Track App by getting a AIM Solo 2 DL with a smartycam HD.....much more powerful system and you can use it on any car (ODBII version)
