$900 for CXX 'mini' Porsche vinyl script on the rear wing.

Someday I'll rip it off when the pain of spending the money on it goes away.

If you own a GT3 in whatever configuration..... you shouldn't regret anything.


First world problems...

Only 2 options on my car, Lava Orange and Satin Black wheels. For a second go at it I'd spec Guards Red, drop the Satin Black and add buckets.

Lol. Yikes that is steep. For some of these price options they should have a mask and a gun.

Didn't get a chance to spec mine as I have previous models.

My options:
Very happy with: GT Silver, Buckets, FAL, extended tank, black full leather.
On the fence: Black wheels, brushed aluminum trim. no sports chrono
Regrets: Not having Bose (need to upgrade at some point), no autodim (really makes difference driving at night)

Regret is value-based; I paid XXX dollars and after XXX time, I feel XXX wasn't worth it and would not do it again. That being said, if subjected to peine forte et dure, I would have to say the black wheels, since they were swapped out for FI-R's shortly after. However...were they worth the $$ for the time they were on the car...absolutely.

I don't regret anything on the car, including the nominal ADM for one of the last available PTS configurable allocations, and would much rather focus my energy on looking forward to the next day when I can get in the car, fire it up, and take it out on the road. It brings me tremendous pleasure and that is priceless.

I must say, that it brings me much enjoyment to see how cheap I can get the car for. I've done that will all of my Porsches, but the last two being GT cars I didn't spec the leather dash simply because when I think of a race car, like the cup car, I don't think of a leather dash. I'm also not one, like many others are, that configures my car for the next guy (resale). In fact, I sold my GT4 on BaT and it sold quickly being a "stripper". On my GT3: FAL, Black LED's, Black Wheels, Aluminum Pedals, Painted Side Skirts & Bose...oh & the base model seats, MANUAL fore and aft I would've loved to have deleted the roof antenna and headlamp washers, but I was told it would've pushed it into a CXX special request category and delayed receiving it by weeks!!! So, NO REGRETS.

Evilfij: "Smokers package is pretty worthless, but then again, maybe I will have a passenger who wants to plug something in at some point."

I substituted a Dual USB charger for the lighter and find it very useful for charging my Cell Phone and Lap Timer.
Also the covered "Smoker's Package" is a convenient place to store my Tires Dust Caps during Track Events.

I regret not waiting for the RS option, but this Junker will be fine for now.

Buckets are a must have for the character of the car....they were comfortable for me when I had the car....auto dim not a necessity or LED headlights or carbon fiber bits....and no PCCBs...

I regret the red stripe on the wheels. Hated them immediately. Also, bose seems like a waste. I never listen to music in the car.

No regrets on what I did get. On what I didn't, I should have paid the $3000 and got a CXX steering wheel with that chrome ring blacked out and a red leather center-marker.

Buy once - cry once.
