My RY GT3 Build
Hey guys,
I am in the process of building a car with a lock-in date of 2 weeks and want RL'ers profession opinion/advise of my specs.
My current 991 S Cab is RY so want the same color bc I absolutely love it!!
911 GT3
$130,400
Exterior Color
Racing Yellow
Interior Color
Standard Interior in Black with Seats in Leather/Alcantara®
Extended Range Fuel Tank
LED Headlights incl PDLS
Front Axle Lift System
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
GT3 Wheels Painted in Black
Seat Belts in Racing Yellow
Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell
Floor Mats
Smoking Package
Fire Extinguisher
Lightweight Bucket Seats
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) incl. Navigation Module
Sport Chrono Package incl. Porsche Track Precision App
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio Receiver (NavTraffic and NavWeather i.c.w. PCM)

Not sure about the full leather/alcantara interior option as I originally wanted to keep the price closer to $150k (but still went over). Wonder if it will be a negative point once I decide to sell due to not having full leather option.
Let me know if I should add/remove anything and your criticism will be appreciated.

As far as the lift goes. This is my second gt3 and I have replaced 1 lip as I hit an animal on the highway with it. And it cracked it. Save your money. Buy a spare lip in a year or two. After the first scrunch you hear and the grimace you make you get used to it. Cost of doing business. I scrape the lip on my 997 gt3. Far more than I do on my 991 gt3 And my 997 has been raised an inch. Go figure. Weird but true. Anyway spend the money you save on the lift on interior bits. You will appreciate it sooooo much more

Ps. Sorry to post again but if my experience is worth anything. You will almost never listen to music in this car and at speed on the highway. You can't listen to music in this car lol. Ditch the satellite unless it's something you really require. Car is noisy inside at highway plus speeds. For trips over an hour I wear earplugs.

So the stereo gets loud enough to actually hear it ? I had to turn the bass all the way up and crank it just to hear anything in my 996-3. I am hoping this stereo is light years ahead of my old one.

I LOVE the Shark! Its not just louder. I adds a throatiness to the exhaust note. I just turn off the sport exhaust button if I need to take a phone call or want a break from the sound (not too often). Its only an hour or two install so it can be undone easily.
Yes, you can hear the stereo. The problem is that the stereo sucks. I had the same issue with my Tundra so I added good front speakers, a processor, amp and sub. I will most likely do the same with the GT3.

My two cents:
I agree getting rid of the XM just due to the antenna on the roof. You can pay a few extra bucks a month and stream it connected via BT on your phone.
I would also urge you to drop the LED headlights in favor of Black Xenon to match the black wheels and trim. I had Xenon on my C2S, and I honestly think they offer superior performance over the trendy LEDs. The LED are definitely brighter, but that doesn't mean they are better.
If you ditch the XM, Sport Chrono, and LED you've covered the cost of leather.
The problem with suggestions from us is that we are all going to want you to configure your car the same as ours. No matter what you end up with, it's going to be awesome! The build locking will be the best thing that can happen.
P.S. Please don't do colored gauges. Guys that get colored gauges also paint the garage walls orange and love RaceDeck flooring. It's just not cool. We need to make sure to have our wives or someone that knows save us from ourselves.

I don't care for the luggage net in the passenger footwell, looks a bit out of place and it's going to get stretched out and unsightly over time.
Oh and I love race deck as much as Clexio loves plasti dip. Racedeck covers all manner of ugly concrete and is resistant to everything except flame / very hot things. Did my 2.5 car garage in 4 hours, still looks awesome 7 years later.
