Both my Porsches (not specced by me) have had Sport Chrono and I really don't like it.
I was not a fan of the Sport Design wheels on my C2S because they were heavier than stock and very tedious to clean. The cosmetics weren't worth the hassles.
My GT3 has a clear bra and I'm still undecided about it. I'm not sure I'll do that again.
I thought I would really miss the navigation when I went from my C2S to the GT3 but it turns out I don't miss it at all. I wish I had factory iPod hookups though.

as for sport chrono - it's not much unless you have a tip (a little bit of help) or PDK - mandatory.
i'm afraid not to have NAV
it's like an addiction.

I spec'd and ordered my 2009 C2S exactly as I wanted it. Maybe I'd order the leather shift console now, but that's an easy add. My big decision at the time was whether to wait and go for a 2010 GT3. Having driven this car for a while now, and all things considered, I'm really happy with my choice. It was the right one for me.

I would have ordered a more tolerant exterior color. I think black looks fantastic when clean, however, it's dirty an hour after washing and waxing. I've had black ones before and had forgotten how much work is involved in keeping it up. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Oh, yeah, I would have ordered the sport chrono package with the delete option of not having the "pimple" on the dash. It's useless IMO and clutters a classic binnacle. I was ignorant and didn't know you could order it that way.

PSE - (having trouble locating a reasonably priced used one, would welcome suggestions)
Natural Brown Leather interior (looks fantastic).
Heated seats for the passenger (I am a big fan of alfresco motoring even at 50-ish temps)
