Rear camera, heated seats, nav.. seriously people are we forgetting what a GT3 is? You might as well hire Mr. Belvedere to chauffeur on trackdays. SIGH!

Uh, this GT3 as far as Im concerned with all the tech is a great sporty road car...if you want a race car, get a damn racecar. I'm getting this car to look really cool on the road and throw thumbs up at everyone anyways. Ugh, I'm going to be sooooooo popular...

The car has a mandatory screen in the dashboard. It might as well be useful.

Same with the power seat option - AFAIC, it is worthless without a memory setting.

Don't get me wrong - I am all about the GT3 being a hard-core track car with a minimum of conveniences a la the 996, and I would not order either of the above - but both are useful in a paddock. Lighted personalized door sills are not.

I dunno guys, a rear view camera is actually pretty damn useful in a street car. After all, a GT3 is a street car.

If you think these technologies make your GT3 less hard core, you bought the wrong *****-extension.

haha...I agree.

I considered it too. Until I realized that my phone would be in my pocket.

There are aftermarket options that integrate with the nav screen. I, for one, will swallow my pride and get it installed.

This. So much of this technology encourages laziness on the part of the driver.

Some situations are simply not avoidable, regardless of how "intelligent" the driver is.

In the U.S. at least fifty children are being backed over by vehicles EVERY week. Forty-eight (48) are treated in hospital emergency rooms and at least two (2) children are fatally injured every WEEK.

• The predominant age of victims is one year olds. (12�€�23 months)

• Over 60% of backing up incidents involved a larger size vehicle. (truck, van, SUV)

• Tragically, in over 70% of these incidents, a parent or close relative is behind the wheel.

I get it. Unfortunately I'm a firm believer that there are simply too many distractions in today's cars. Heavy reliance on electronics and electronic devices to "save us" results in people becoming less aware of their circumstances and surroundings when driving. In other words, if people would put down/turn off the phone/DVD/camera/satnav/fridge/whatever and pay attention to the job at hand, we'd be better off. Driving should NOT be part of multitasking.

It can vibrate if you back into something

mhh

All true - optional parking sensors that make the driver aware of his surroundings would be a great idea.

Geez...is that why the GT3 should have a backup camera?!
