You forgot to mention no shotgun holders

I know the bucket seats look cool but I hear they are uncomfortable. For those of you who have them, are they comfortable?

George, honestly if that’s a spec you like then your wallet will thank you if you get a GT3 Touring instead. Without the single mass flywheel option there’s very little to distinguish the two cars, add the sofa seats on top of that and you’ve got but marginally better version of the Touring, and this is coming from a 911R owner. There’s a reason this dealer can’t unload this car, and it is simply because no one wants that specon an R, so it will be incredibly hard to unload when the time comes, whereas a GT3 Touring with sofas will still be highly desirable.

Obviously do what you want, just trying to make your decision a more informed one.
