Default my perfect gt3...

i love everything about my car from its looks, performance, build quality, and so on.

a little more practicality would make perfection for me:

1. make sport exhaust sound after 4k rpm the default sound so police dont notice me so much
2. sirius radio
3. 3rd shock setting soft enough for passengers comfort
4. fully defeatable stability control in addition to tc for when you want it ie. bad weather
5. front susp lift for speed bumps like lambo has on gallardo

Actually an autopilot and rear seats with built in massage so you could ride in the back would also be nice. In fact anything that totally negates the racing heritage of the car would be a definite must for me. If this thing only came in a four door version they would sell a million of them.

Great suggestions keep em coming.

Clearly Apex Late's comments are sarcastic, clever and humorous, but what troubles me is that the first 2 posts do not seem to be in jest.

On that note, maybe I'll suggest that porsche add several hundred pounds of ballast to make it handle more like a dump truck.

Let me assure you that Post #2 was purely in jest!

What troubles me is the growing popularity of PCM, nav, the now obligatory plastic wrap, and lighted door sills...

1. The non-sport setting does exactly that
2. Cheap aftermarket solutions
3. Change to PS2 tires
4. Like the GT2. It would be nice, probably coming on the next GT3
5. Available from RUF

I think the Bently Continental is configured EXACTLY as you suggest.
Has BlondeStar too!

i knew my list would generate negative comments so no surprise there. however, they would add maybe 1 pound to the car while adding to its practicality for people like me who use it as a daily driver!

this is not just my track day toy but also my transportation. get a cup car if thats what YOU want and dont tell me to get a turbo.

change to ps2 tires everytime my wife or daughter is in the car then swap it back for me? great idea! much better than a simple 3rd setting from the factory. thanks for the idea.

(im allowed to be sarcastic too )
