No carpet, no door inserts, just a little fabric and a teather (ala 993 RS), no sound deadning stuff, no power windows, lightweight seats, no radio, lexan windows, etc...I think you guys get my point anything lightweight!!

The carbon buckets seats in leather/alcantara, middle section in carbon would look nice.

Kinda, sort of...It's more like a GT3RS that's really light with little compromise for street driving...you see I'm one of those nuts that likes my cars lightning fast, the louder the better, extremely light, just barely street legal with the compromise scale leaning towards the track side of the equation!

Some Rennlisters don't think we are making realistic interior requests for a street legal US Spec car... but we are. If Porsche can build the car with purple leather and carbon fiber interior bits, they can do the same with light weight materials and simple feature deletes.

I don't know if we can get away from power door locks and windows if they are standard on all the cars they build worldwide. That would cause an engineering change and I expect that yo be too costly for them to be bothered with for a low volume production run.

If Porsche doesn't build it then I will convert what ever they give us into what I want...anybody else with me?

I just hope they give a huge head start!!!

Guys,

No problem converting to a old school RS style from a pimped out modern Porsche style.

Take a look at my car, it used to have leather, 14 speakers (or what ever the number of 993 "hi-fi" option has), thick door panels with door pockets etc. Now... Well, I still have front seats and some carpet...

BTW I've seen it, "heard" it and ridden it...it's a model for hardcore P-car lovers all over!!

The car on the booth in Geneva had the lightweight carbon seats. VERY comfortable with excellent side support, and ready to install harnesses. With our luck though, PCNA won't bring them to the US due to lack of chest-level airbags.

There was also a bunch of bling, such as carbon fiber interior panels. (If it does not add horsepower or lightness, it's bling.)
