Well, it is the reason the next model might have it.

Well,I don't do politics,but wondering...is it made by the same clowns whom are being stiff about the sport buckets?

I can't see anything when I try to back up in my Boxster with the top up. If I can't find a reliable aftermarket backup camera, it will probably lead me to sell/trade it. It's simply not safe. Of course, I'll never own a GT3 since I don't need or want what it can do, but I just don't feel less manly when I can see what's behind me when I'm backing up, whether its because there's adequate glass or a functioning camera.

My apologies if anyone thought I'm leading the discussion towards someone's manhood...far from me.
I believe it is more about value : Porsche is making a lot of money on options. Some are must have but most are a waste of money IMO. Especially if you're going to end up trading the car in 2 years with a huge loss.
So you're speccing a nice fully loaded car for the next guy. Some see a backup camera as a must have,I don't...to each his own...
Even more so being a GT3...
How do you want your strippers? Naked right? They're not fun with clothes on... That's how I would spec this car...just like I would " spec " a stripper. :icon507:

Even the new C7.R racecar has a rearview camera:

I think this debate gets to the polarity of the GT3 in general - some view it as a kick *** car that they will track occasionally (that's me) and others buy it mostly for the track with little street use. If I were buying it to be mostly a track weapon, I agree the reverse camera is not necessary. But I plan to drive it 2-3 days per week, and be leaving at times when kids are up and about. And I'm willing to forego a bit of the track panache in exchange for a bit more safety.

But I can see both sides of the argument very clearly. There are other non track options I got - carbon illuminated door sills, for example... what can I say? I think they are cool.

No worries sgroer,enjoy whatever you want,there's no right or wrong here IMO.

I agree 100 percent.
It should be an option, not a regulation. Period.
