Congrats on your pending arrival!
also from the NYC area. Have had 3 previous GT3's as DD's in the wilds of NYC and its not as bad as one would assume. You'll get used to dodging potholes during the day and using total recall to avoid them at night.
A nice break in rip up the pallisades or taconic will be in order

The day I experienced a 991 GT3 for the first time was the day my thoughts on what I wanted out of a road car (and my preconceived opinions on dual clutch transmissions) changed forever, seriously. I had driven many faster and more "exotic" cars up to that point but something about that car was just so exciting on ALL fronts. The sound, the gearbox, the feel, it was wonderful! Unfortunately it has also ruined so many other cars for me 
Congratulations and I hope the wait isn't too agonizing.
Best,

Whoa that is a rare bird you have there! Could this possible be the largest gathering of GT3's in the country? Probably not but its the only one that matters.
For those wondering if all it took was an expensive bottle of scotch. In a way, yes. But let's just talk cars

Were rude to me asked to bring deposit, next day i showed up with money - they said won't promise to sell the car @MSRP - market price only ( what's the point leaving deposit to buy a car later @ market price ) - not going to buy there anything - service before was good no problems.

To quote goin2dirt "That is the absurdity of the entire mess. There is no correct way to get that GT3 at MSRP. Just tell folks what they have to do. Buy 1 car, buy 8 cars, buy a race car, send email, offer their first born, what? Then I can make that decision and/or get the hell out of the brand or buy a different car."
The blind leading the deaf into a puzzle under a maze surrounded by an enigma and smashed with a mystery shaped hammer.

So, first we have one customer who gets an MSRP car months after the car is released with no ADM. (I don't count scotch as an ADM) Then his answer "in a way" is as just as opaque as Porsche itself. Then another customer who is quoted market price and the Dealer won't accept his deposit.

Who knows? I just inferred that it was over MSRP and really, no need to say more. 1 dollar or 30k over, either way if he admits that, he's setting himself up for some negative ADM comments.
To the OP, congrats! Let's see the build, how much of a stripper?

This. There's no right answer here. Like if a man asks you if his wife has nice ****. Yes or no either way you're setting yourself up.

Must have IMHO:
Extended range tank
Smokers package (for the charging plug)
Fire extinguisher
Auto dim mirrors (every time I think $700! I drive my 993 and am blinded by an SUV headlights in the side mirror)
LWB are top of my list, but 4 way and 18 way are good. If I was getting one of those I would do leather backs unless you were going with touring and silver trim.

I decided to pass on the LWB. Drove a car with them and I find them uncomfortable. Especially getting in and out. I will be driving my car a whole lot so I want to avoid making it unapproachable. I went with the simple 4 ways because my butt found them to be best.
I did add the auto dim though. Other stuff already was specced.
