Default US GT3 RS Order Guide

Ok, I have the official order guide in PDF, but it is too large to upload here, I am trying to get it uploaded on another site to link to. Hold tight.

If you were able to order the orange calipers can you share how much this option was? Thanks

You're right, orange calipers and black wheels are not a factory option, but I am going to have them done immediately after delivery. I think the yellow calipers don't quite go with the orange trim.

Oh yes, and orange stitching too

Didn't know about the "rear window of thin glass" and the "door storage bins deleted"...

Regarding $4,315 for white and no stripes, Porsche's marketing/pricing schemes never cease to amaze.

And no optional fire extinguisher?

What is interesting about this, is many of these items listed, were not in the computer at the Dealer when I ordered my car yesterday.

So lets see, a white GT3RS will cost $20k more than a white GT3. The $20k buys you a ltw flywheel ($500), sunroof delete, and wider ***. Is Porsche a supplier to the govt?

... and the yellow stripe.

Frankly I am now disappointed about the RS we're getting here in the US. I need to find out how (and for how much) to get the RS deck lid, wing and CGT seats on the standard GT3.

The other concern to me is that in 2-4 years when most of us will flip the car, the market will not look kindly upon the RS - perhaps not as bad as the X51 and S 996tt's but bad enough to make that $20k difference completely unjustifiable to most 2nd buyers.
