RSR run CF hood, buy that and put on RS.
you really dont need ANY carpet in the car. i drove two of mine like that on the street. it's fine.
some ppl wants to DD these cars. fine. you dont need radio or AC to DD. really. i used to drive a full on SM to work in suit and tie. and even had no fan for engine cooling. when stuck on bay bridge, just use the horn and do something crazy to get moving and cool it down.
rear plexi isn't that $$$. i bought a new cup lexan rear for $500. put that on.
replace cat with open pipe, put them back on for smog. it's not loud.

Where did you get yours for that price?CF hood, how much is that from Porsche? $3-4k...
Sound deadening, throw those things out! I agree with you. No such need for a "limited edition" hardcore version!
Cats, well, it has to be street legal
But make it from some LW material!The only luxury items that I care for are the AC and Radio, I use my car every day. It is my only car so I kind of need them. Radio is for entertainment and I definitely need AC because it is hot in Miami!
Porsche has lately become more about marketing to fat old guys who can afford expensive cars rather than real enthusiasts who want to throw their cars in the track and drive them until they die of old age...
I'm just kidding... Are you Turkish by any chance (because of the name)?

There's no pleasing you guys. A few years ago during the 964/993 we would have loved to have had all these choices. We never got the real 964 RS nor the 993 RS or GT2 and we didn't get the 996GT3RS.
Now we get them all and I believe that because there are so many "special" models, Porsche can bring to the US their more "track" models without it compromising the model (ie forcing us to get the sunroof or a watered down RS America) or it's luxury demanding American customer base.
I've said many times before and I'll say it again, choices are a great thing!

i am leaving porsche in june once my 07 gt3 lease is up bc i want paddles. if gt3rs offered pdk option i would be 1st on the list
guaranteed pdk will be on next series of gt cars just like tc/sc was put on this series. bothers me when porsche takes so long to adapt tech and tries to pass it off as 'gt cars are for purists'. thats bs.
no reason ferrari should be able to advance faster than porsche when they sell so many fewer cars

pdk, pdk, you wussies
Porsche should build a reliable SEQUENTIAL box in that car. Clutchless upshifts on full throttle, but a clutch for the downshifts.
now that would rock

ive had my gt3 as an all weather daily driver for 4 years now with about 40 track days so i have a pretty good idea of what porsche i would like and it does not include the carrera gts.
since the gts comes with a mt, do you think its same thing as a mt gt3rs?
