I need some options....navi/bluetooth and having front lift and sound plus are very nice when I'm roaming around town on weekends. Tasteful mods are very nice (front end mods can be great).

Mine is loaded. The original buyer just checked every options available. Sunroof, sports chrono, all leather, deviated red stitching, navigation, premium sound and heated seats. You name it - it has it.

It still feels "raw" and "crazy fast"! Nav is useless, but the other stuff is fine.

Mine 3.8 is a stripper - no ac, no radio, no lift, no wart, no pccb's.

Factory A/C delete or modified race prep? Hadn't heard of factory A/C delete.

I would want it loaded. Just makes it a better car. Also why does everyone hate the sport chrono clock? I really don't get it. They like it on every other car except the GT3?

Clock is ugly and serves no purpose. (My opinion of course!)

A track focused street car if it doesn't make the car faster, brake better, lighter, more reliable, safer, or add to the driving experience I don't want it. And for a gt3 the way it comes is just about perfect.

My daily is another story throw the lux my way.

I don't get that either. Clock is cool.

AC delete is one crazy stripper.

I lean towards loaded. I think guys who are pretty track focused want a stripper though, less weight I guess.

I prefer look with sport chrono, dash looks like it is missing something when it isn't there but I got used to looking at it on my 997.1S. Again, all personal preference, I never used the damn timer.

If your car has nav, leather, sports chrono thingy ;then it's not a stripper.

My .1 RS has: none of the above offending creature comforts.

And it has:

PCCB's
Rear cage
CGT seats
Factory harnesses
Carpets / sound deadening removed
Full exhaust cat back bypass
Factory a/c delete
Only exception is xenons as I have sh*tty night vision

Now that's a proper stripper��

Any doubters of this claim should take it up with Mooty!

I hated the clock on my turbo. Nasty reflection, distracting overall. But you can't get a sport modeon those cars without the sport chrono package, so it was a necessity. The timing function is gimmicky and useless. I ended up putting an OBD II gauge in place of the clock.

On the GT3 thankfully sport mode and sport chrono are not part of the same package.
