Do you guys think this R is a good deal?

Man, I haven't read the whole thread but I would definitely definitely buy a GT3 touring at $200k before an R without the SMF at $300k. The SMF is sort of the R's calling card from a driving experience perspective.. it's loud and Grindy and makes the engine spin up nicely. But without that, the R is just not that special (again, from a driving experience viewpoint).
I'd much rather go for the MUCH improved engine in the gt3 touring, more torque, more top end, just way better all around. I would not spend $100k extra on an R without it.

If I knew that I could get called every month to subscribe to SiriusXM (along with the roof wart), I would have gotten radio delete. Go freaking annoying and I even told them to not call me again because I'm not interested but they can't seem to listen.

thinks of dropping $300k+ on a car = doesn't read the sticker + tells others what sticker says

Ok I have another solution then:
Buy a car w/o LWFW
Buy LWFW and replace part (perhaps $5K all in? Maybe pay a little more to have it done at the stealer - reassuringly expensive)
Drive car (maybe)
Switch back to factory fitted flywheel when time to sell to another collector
Use lightweight flywheel as desk ornament

Unless you want to cancel, then you have a better chance of getting through to the PAG free allocation hotline.

I saw 'flywheel' listed under 'options' and assumed single mass. As we used to say taking board exams.... RFQ (Read the F*&^ing Question). Time to close this thread. Dual mass+sofas even for $325 is overpriced. And the red stripes on a silver car kind of bugged too.J

Ahem. 
Several of us pointed this out, I think that's why Soulsea went a bit strong, it seemed like you asked for opinions then didn't even read our responses...
All's good now, glad you understand the options it has properly--that would have been an expensive oops.
