Theoretical Question, to WP or Not WP if earlier delivery available?
Car is a 2019 GT3RS,
What would you do... if you had an 'October Build Date' that you could fully spec including WP... or you could get a July Build, but couldn't add WP?
Appreciate your insight!
Best Regards,
Dave

I got an early slot July production/ Sept delivery because I didn't want WP. WP lovers will need to wait longer for a slot.
However, I didn't give WP up for early slot. I was never going to pay for that, regardless of when my slot came.

In the US i would never spec WP as you can't get the gorgeous Titanium cage..I will get the WP in the UK on the premise i can spec the Ti cage and Mg wheels..In the US without these two 'must haves' i would avoid WP as i don't like the aesthetics of the all carbon hood..

I’d wait for the WP. It’s only 3 months more. It’s the first time the RS has the option. I’d do WP, Mags, and PCCBs over any cosmetic options.

I have this same problem , i got a production date in July 18 and delivery in September - but there was an error in the P70 Option list i.e WP . So i was to either drop the allocation or cancel the WP . I asked my sales rep to try and he got to me back 3 days ago that i can keep the WP but production will be pushed for September 18 and delivery probably around November . So i agreed .
My color is White with gold wheels , so my concern is - with the CF roof/hood - it would be too busy and too JDM styled , but i can't resist that titanium cage and exotic looking carbon fiber.

Get the car YOU want, If you really want the WP then wait. I had my car fully specced exactly as I wanted every little bit then I got greedy and sold her for a profit and when I finally figured out that the RS is the best car in its class had to resort to whatever I could find on the market. If you don't get WP and really want it, every time you see a WP car you will regret your decision....... I'm getting WP but that's because I want it, that being said I think that a Non WP car is the better looking of the options in every color.

WP doesn't increase performance, doesn't reduce weight in a markedly meaningful amount, does not come with a TI roll bar like ROW.
It appears the argument for the WP is akin to the "RS is a RS" circular argument touted by many.

I would never buy the RS w/o the WP, just my perspective.
I just got my GT3, no RS allocation, so say what you will about armchair quarterbacking this, but it's not just the weight. To me, it would be like not speccing the LWBs, or PCCBs- its like you can find arguments against those things if you need to look for them, but in my world, the car was intended to have those things, but they drop them off to keep the advertised price down. The arguments against those things always feel weak, reaching and a bit desperate to me. Of course, do what you think will make you feel best- it is first and foremost your car, and money, and life experiences... but if you are looking for opinions, that is mine.

Here’s my 0.02¢
I specc’d WP because I think it’s unique and not something you can easily (if at all) replicate aftermarket. Maybe a carbon fiber hood (most definitely available) and roof (maybe?) could be sourced easily aftermarket but carbon fiber anti-roll bars and end links? Me thinks not.
With options like buckets or PCCBs you can easily buy those items - even OEM ones - after delivery of the car. But no so with the WP.
So if there’s any inclination that you might want it, spec it. Because if you pass up the opportunity now it’ll most likely be forever gone.

Just curious, why are you getting the WP, if in your words non WP is better looking?
WP doesn't increase performance, doesn't reduce weight in a markedly meaningful amount, does not come with a TI roll bar like ROW.
