I just changed it simply to GT4. I agree the PCCB's are unnecessary on the GT4. However, the MSRP is not too far from what most GT4's are going for anyway.

If you add in 7k and get less than 7k back, how are you adding future value?

Personally I think 2-3 years out a GT4 with LWBS's and PCCB's can easily command 10K more than a GT4 without them (especially with lower miles as stated in my earlier post).

You have to look at the car overall vs. other cars with fewer options. My view is that a GT4 with LWBS's and PCCB's will be more attractive to a broader set of potential buyers (including those willing to pay a premium for those options). I have personally observed it with the GT3.

PCCBs = $7400
Total = $12130
You command = $10000
Loss = $2730
Like orthojoe stated you are loosing money
And while a few may pay what you think its worth not everybody will.

Exactly!
The caliper red clashes with Carmine too
Ouch!

It's one of the few Porsche color combos that I do not like. Love CR, but only with platinum or black wheels. Carmine is such a blood red, and silver wheels just don't do it for me. But colors are a personal thing. No right or wrong. I do love CR with black wheels though. And honestly, while I do love PCCB, if I speccd them on CR, I'd have to paint the calipers to match. The yellow PCCB on a red car
just screams Ronald McDonald to me.

Yeah, you guys are nuts. Carmine with silver wheels looks great.

By the way, your math assumes the rest of the car isn't depreciating.

Just curious, is it documented just how much better the PCCBs are? By that, I mean in terms of 60 to 0 distance, etc.

My measurement was repeated instant gut-wrenching deceleration from high speed. I doubt there is any difference in stopping distance...that is more a factor of the tires.
