exactly what I was thinking. It's crazy that its a regular option for the GTS, but not for the GT3 or RS.

I expect it's available via Porsche exclusive, but I wonder how much you have to pay for it.......

Still I prefer the Ferrari yellow tachometer to any tachometer Porsche has offered. Cool and exciting looking, yet still easy to read.

I asked for the RPM dial to be exterior color which is Crayon. Dealer told me they will check and confirm back if they can do it as CXX option. The same goes for the Red rollbar and Porsche side decals with red Porsche logo.

Interesting, as the current gray color of the tachometer isn't that different from crayon.

Yes Porsche said GT3s will get only two colors and all gauges will be the same color. You can't have the RPM dial different than the speeedo. Anyways i kept it the standard grey as its close to Crayon as possible.

It seems most of the purist out there prefer the hydraulic steering vs the electric steering. So why and what benefits does the electric have?

Hydraulic steering may be the next "six speed manual" option!

Electric steering saves a tiny bit of fuel and allows the car to have power steering even when the engine is not running (useful with Porsche's start/stop system). And it weighs a little less and costs less to make.

But most of these advantages (not weight and cost) are overcome when using a hydraulic steering system where the hydraulic pump is spun by an electric motor rather than from the engine's crank (as is done in McLaren road cars and Porsche factory 911 race cars).
