I do too, but I live in North Carolina. I like your style!

Full leather? The two options are the standard leatherette/alcantara and the added alcantara option which I think is $3700 or so - I went with the former. There are options to add more leather but I didn't even look at those - I don't know that more leather would add to the residual.

The PCCBs are a $10,000 option and from what I've read the steel brakes do not fade anyway. The principal disadvantages are the added weight (are you really good enough to notice?) and the brake dust. The advantages of the steel brakes are the upfront savings and the replacement cost is much lower.

If you just want the yellow color you can get you dealer to paint the calipers, probably for free with your purchase.

My experience with the Cayman S I had is that you end up immediately boiling the brake fluid (first time at the track) and having to replace this with blue fluid then wearing out the pads and wearing thin the rotors after a season of heavy tracking (8 to 10 days or so).

Can anyone add to this?

The two basic interior option choices that I see for both the US and Canada are 1) alcantera/leather, and the more expensive 2) alcantera/leather and leather interior, commonly called "full leather". The "and leather" interior adds alcantera to the door panels and bottom half of the dash as well as smooth stitched leather to the top of the door panels and top of the dash, replacing plastic/vinyl/whatever in all those areas. It also adds trim strips to the doors that match the trim on the dash.

Beyond that you can add lots of additional leather and alcantera as you point out. I think the "and leather" option is worth the additional money, looks good, and might add value at trade in although if you are leasing I'm not familar with that end of it. I've always heard that the additional leather bits probably don't add much to the car in the way of value. It all just depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.

Dan the man, Just generalizing here on the basic lease principles of ordering options that may be advantageous to bump residual values etc... Don't get ur shorts in a bunch

As far as PCCBs already have a well prepped track car with PFC rotors (see sig) actually like them better for street... sounds like ur laboring over options but I'm just not ther yet nor is it that big a deal to me quite honestly. Best o luck in nailing that build

I know Downtown has earlier allocations, but odds are they're already reserved (I was originally offered November, but am going to do ED in the spring of 2014). Their queue is over 15 cars long now.

No allocations yet. They are looking at late-June/early-July.

You are one insane man if you're going to try and drive the GT3 in the winter! At least in the Canadian winter that is....

From what I have heard, the allocation for GT3 in Canada is going to be much more than 30. Just between DFC and Pfaff, there is a waiting list of over 30 cars.

It was the OP who suggested winter driving in Canada, not me. I'm into such weird things too, but I just will not have this option anymore with the car being in California. Regarding Canadian allocations - they normally are about 10%-13% of North American allocations and those are rumored at 800 (not sure annually or total, but likely annual), so I'd expect at least 80-100 GT3s in Canada. With so much talk by Porsche about "increased bandwidth" for GT3 they will make a lot... Not that there is anything wrong with that - demand is increased too.

Looks perfectly optioned to me.

Can't wait to see it in Toronto. Make sure you signup to the cruises @ www.RedlineRallys.com/signup

Congrats

On winter driving - just saw this in a brochure:

I wonder if there is anyone who will ever do that on a GT3

Larry Cable

do euro delivery @ zuffenhausen!!!

Dan39

I was thinking about that but it will be in the middle of the winter and getting the car delivered with MPSC rubber... I'd have to delay my delivery to the spring and then that means getting 1000km on it before hitting the track in the summer is going to be a major challenge.

stevecolletti

Have it delivered to a dealer 1000KM away. My 997.1 RS works great as a tourer; I'm sure this will only be better.

Larry Cable

you can easily put 1000km on a car in Europe in a week or so... get it delivered later ... DO IT!

you are mad not too! ... take it to some of the german tracks like the ring.

Mike in CA

I assume if you took delivery in Zuffenhausen you'd tour Europe for a week or two. I've done that a couple of times with Porsche; it doesn't take long to pile up the miles while traveling and it's actually a pretty good way to break in the car. I wouldn't want to take delivery in winter either, but a spring delivery would get your car delivered back home all broken in and ready for track season. Of course the downside is that it means more waiting, both for the initial delivery and for the car to be delivered back home. But it's a great experience. Just a thought....

Edit: Just saw Larry posted while I was writing this. +1

Ahhh now you've got me thinking... I thought I had it all figured out!
