Can the GT3 be configured with rear seats?
I like the GT3, but I need the rear seats for the little kids. Is there any way to order rear seats in a 997 GT3 as a factory installed option?

It would be a little involved but I don't see why you couldn't do a retrofit installation. A retrofit would have to include all the anchor points for both the seats and the belts, seats, belts, misc small trim bits and maybe a peice of carpet. That aside, all of the major panels should be the same as I car with rear seats. Wouldn't be cheap but you could have the first 4 seat 997 GT3!

Not trying to tell you how to spend your dead presidents but wouldn't you be better off to get a 997S X51 with the aerokit and sport chrono +. It would be a better ride for the kids in back anyway. If you're going to really track the car then you wouldn't want the extra weight of the rears seats. If you're not a track guy then the 997S is fine after all if you don't go with slicks you won't be getting into the oil deprevation issue that would require the dry sump.
Again not trying to tell you how to spend your mula just a thought.

One-please make sure you get one of those liability waiver forms(I don't think that work either) signed if other then your kids. If something should happen(hope not) your car/house is gone. Mike

If you are asking this question, you really don't want a GT3.

My kid's top choice is my Lotus Elise, but they can only ride on at a time...
Life is limited, and driving time even more, why waste your driving time having to compromise for a not-as-much-fun 4 seater?

My kids don't care about ride quality (that's why they prefer the Elise over the 997S). Will certainly choose a GT3 b/c I can and know how to use the extra performance and being able to take my kids with me to track days is an extra bonus.
If it is only a two seater, then I'm hard pressed not to consider a slightly used 360 Challenge Stradale which IMO is a superior car (and ride experience).
