I think one of the issues that limits the customization of GT3's (regular & RS) is that they are made/assembled in the Porsche Motor-sports factory, as opposed to the normal "large" factory where all other 911's are made.
This is one of the reasons why my next pcar will be a GT3, I feel like the workers and attention to detail at the motorsports plant is that much better.

I guess only the engines are made in the Motor sports factory.

I don't think that is true -- the GT3s and GT3RSs were assembled on the "normal" production line. In fact, even the GT3 Cup is assembled on the regular production line. Here is what press materials for the Cup say: "Porsche builds the GT3 Cup on the Company's regular production lines in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the body-in-white leaving the plant only for the purpose of welding in the safety cage."
system delivers the appropriate parts to each of the stations on the production
line. There are only 2 robots on the entire line, that install the front and rear
glass on the car, and the tyre mounter the rest is hand installed.
The Gt1 block engines are build (by a single hand) in the same facility as the other 911 engines, but on a separate line.
If you ever do euro delivery on your car (as I did) it's worth doing the factory
tour.
I believe that the cup cars also come off this line, only the RSR's that are built by the motorsport division.

instruction you will not complete a lap at speed.
You can drive the track at "road speed" during the tourist laps, but if you want
to attempt a lap at track speeds you need to know the track.
You can use several track guides combined with full lap videos on youtube to help with this.
I'll be at the ring 7/31-8/9 if anyone wants to meet up
