Can you get the CS package, with the cage not installed into the car?
You store it until you sell the car, and the next owner decide to install it, or not.

When the car is delivered, the harness and fire extinguisher are not installed.

Default OT: GTs of old

If so, you are very lucky!! One of my absolute dream cars.

Yes, it is one of the 21 (20+1) GT2s of MY 1998 ... Special car with fascinating history.


EVO motorsport parts and RS Tuning engine.


That's one of the reason I see a 991 RS as more of a touring car, compared with the GTs of old must be much more confortable and easy to drive.


Try 720 Nm on 1300 kg without traction control or PSM .. in the wet.
This is a car I would not take for a long trip ... longest one was from Stuttgart back home for about 500 km across the Alps on a sunny April's day.

Well, I hope you got those answered in this thread. PAG was probably making sure you know what you're doing by refusing such a no-brainer freebie which is easily removed/installed and in such high demand all around the world. That's all. Of course, it's your money, your decision.

Compare to a 993 GT Evo, everything will be "bland".

But you also seems to appreciate Turbo cars, so why consider a GT3 RS and not a 991 Turbo S?
Example of an interesting (at least to me) Turbo S:

It is Ferrari Gelb ... The original color for the chassis was Silver, but the first owner had it re-painted with the EVO modifications ... Long story.


If it was 100% original it would be worth crazy money and I could not affort it, let alone drive the crap out of it ...


I test drove a 991 turbo when it first came out and I had a 997 turbo at that time ... I sold the 997 and purchased more old turbo AC instead ...Guess I did not like the 991 turbo that much.

A 997 GT2 RS should be fine, then
Without CS package, like this one:

Does removing the club sport package also take away your carbon bucket seats?

Having optioned sofa seats instead of LWBS on a 2015 and, loving it, I'd say do whatever you want with club sport option. Oh, and dig that whilte Porsche, circa 1989?

Dan (probably would keep CS option if offered in US but understands why not)

Beautiful stable OP! I think you will love the 991rs as touring car. It's kind of like a modern turbo without turbos if you know what I mean.

Just a friendly reminder, if you decide to get the Clubsport and remove it? Make sure you check with MOT, TUV or similar testing facility in your country.

In Sweden it's somewhat complicated to get a car street legal when you alter the build from Clubsport to non Clubsport and vice versa.
