I've got options in my GT3 and since its my DD I enjoy them.

But I do love the bare metal floor in my Scud. There is definitely something stripper about that.

I'm jealous of scud bare metal. To see welds just adds to the driving experience.

If you throw a stripper enough money she will get naked:

My vote is for stripper. Adding luxuries such as sport/heated seats, NAV, Bose, Xenons etc dilutes it down. Don't get me wrong, I still think the optioned out GT3's are awesome but if given the choice I would go with the stripper.

Another thing to consider is IF (some people think these cars will be collectibles), you look at these cars 20 years from now. A car without a 20 year old screen and bat-mobiles will look a lot cleaner than a loaded one. Just my $0.02

Agreed, would love to see that in a street Porsche....ala the 964-993 Clubsport style since gone away. Felt the same about my Scud, unfortunately the wanna-be lightweight attempt was summarily ruined by the carbon door panel attached to a door than not only felt as though it was off of a 1982 Camaro.....it closed like it too.

Stripper for me please. Will pay a big premium for stripped. Only change of heart I have made on the stripper is being older, fatter, balder, lazy'r, hairy'r, and wearing too many layers under my Members Only jacket to do to poor circulation is now I can live with the AC.

Do you guys wish your car did or did not have certain options?
For those who track their cars the PCCB's aren't necessarily a plus.

I did not find them a plus on the street other than for brake dust and optics of looking cool. Thought they were a bit touchy with light pedal.
