You can get the leather covered CD holders... Is there anywhere I can get hold of the rubberised CD tray and panels for the front center console, I'm sick of looking at cheap Hyundia parts in my "$100" car?

 

Yup, forgot about the thicker wheel. It's a must especially if you have big hands and I second the nomination for console delete. Much more leg room and gives you more space between the wheel and the knee...a big factor for taller folk like me...6'7"

 

Jus trying to broaden the perspective a bit . Clubsport package consists of cage, cloth "GT3" seats" (non clubsport comes with leather "GT3" seats), harness, fire extinguisher and prepared for a kill switch. And it's a no-cost option. Console is optional on both versions.

The console is standard on all 911 versions except the GT2/3. Of the GT cars I've seen I'd say about half have the console.

 

For those choosing the "GT3" seats, any reason not to get leather? Do they not grip as well as the cloth? Leather should be more durable....

 

The cloth seats grip better and wear faster. They are Nomex hence fire resistant and approvd for racing.

 

What about a leather seat with Alcantara insert? Seems to be best of both worlds. I also like the Carnewal pedals. Console delete is not necessary for me at 5'9.

 

Safety Device rollbar, GT3 seats, 6 point belts, thick wheel.I thought I would use the car more on the street, however it has not been there yet!

 

Jim, you should have driven up to Elkhart for the ChampCar race and parked it next to mine- two GT3s in Porsche Park would have looked great...

 

It's intersting to see that 73 people have voted in this poll. How many do you think actually own GT3's?

 

Hmm good question Holger! In any event I tend to trust the factory guys about such things. If Porsche sells the roll bar I figure they know enough about mounting points, bolt strength etc. to establish that it's safe. Perhaps welded in bars made of thicker tubing with mounting plates welded to the chassis are safer. They are also ugly and ruin re-sale value. I don't car if other roll bars can support ten times the impact as long as mine is adequate to keep the roof over my head. I also like the fact that it is designed as part of a safety system - the GT3 seats are made in such a way as to make the roll bar safe even when I am not wearing a helmet. That's important to me because I am much more likely to be rear ended on the street than on the track.

Vegasgolf - the GT3 seats are now available with Alcanatar inserts and since they simply velcro in they can be added at any time. Look nice and they are very grippy.

Regards,

 

For those of you who get the GT3 seats, do you get two or just one? Do you keep the stock seats (to install upon any resale), or do you sell them?

 

i have two GT3 seats. i keep oem seats for when i sell the car b/c some buyers will not like GT3 seats b/c its lack of adjustments.

however, if you have two GT3 seats, the rear cabin is pretty much useless as you can't stuff things in the back. you can move the seat forward, but still hard to access back. if you want to use the rear cabin to haul things, keep OEM on passenger side as you can fold the seat back.

 

This has been a useful thread for me. I just ordered a MY05 GT3 and here are the options you helped me choose:

> Y1 Seal Gray Metallic paint
> 49 Black Leather w/Full Leather
> M6A Black Mats - Porsche lettering
> 454 Cruise Control
> 573 A/C with Full Climate Control
> P47 Xenon Headlamp Package
> X70 Metal Door Sill Model Insignia
> X71 Aluminum Instrument Dials
> Y05 Brake/Shifter Carbon/Aluminum
> XME Rear Ctr Cons Painted Extr Clr
> CPZ Thicker Steering Wheel
> --- Collapsible spare tire kit

 

only change I'd make is Carbon Doors Sills, they set off the shifter/e brake nicely when you open the door. Otherwise you got the perfect package there, congrats! ( and don't forget to post pix!)

 

Mac - the carbon sills do not stand up to wear and tear at all well. A local guys has them - looked very nice when new but after a year they are scratched and rather sad looking. It may have to do with the unpaved paddock at the local track mind you ...
