Three Wheelin'
I would shorten the gear ratios. Understeer can be dialed out. Someone cc Porscge on this. Maybe the next GT4 will have shorter gearing.

Funny, but I couldn't check any box. I mean, who wouldn't want the full 430 HP that BGB can get you... but I don't think I'm willing to risk warranty issues or the hassle just yet. As for the gearing... in my admittedly brief 650 miles with my car, it's not obvious to me that the car would be more super awesome with shorter gears. I like my sofas. Clutch seems fine to me. Wheels - meh. I might go with Trofeo Rs at some point, but they'll fit on stock wheels. I must be the noob / weird guy. Or I have love blinders on. ;-)

Agree completely!
It seems silly to spend this much on a car and not have seat memory.
I hate that the radio comes on upon start (lambo does the same)
Why isn't there a back up cam? It's a safety issue.
I wish there were a couple crazy color choices. The colors for the car are bland and paint to sample is the only option. It should have a unique signature color like the R's Peridot Metallic (which I love). I'm not a fan of the racing yellow (no offense to those who love it) and I don't consider a color you can get on almost any Porsche to be a "signature" color even though it was the launch color. It's pretty to look at but tough to live with as it shows every spec of dirt. Hubby loves it. I don't.
Otherwise it's a great car. Surprisingly I love the rev match feature (didn't expect to enjoy it quite so much). The best part of the car is the shifting - I wouldn't change the shifter feel or clutch at all.

Voted for the usual suspects (although nothing listed really takes away from how much i like the car overall). Maybe a list of changes for the next iteration:
1) Shorten gear ratio
2) Dial out understeer
3) Would have got lightweight buckets
The GT4 is great fun to drive though, and I'm very happy with the purchase.
My favorite thing is all the great noises it makes, the joy of this particular manual gear box, and how planted I feel all the time (especially compared to my previous cars).

+2 on this one - if your going with 18 way couch's they should have the memory function!
1. X-51 power kit
2. Shorter gears
3. PDK
- love the 6 speed in this car - but faster is faster - for track use this would be a superior package - my main use for this car.
1-3 all need factory support - to be completed on an economical basis. Would have been happy to "pay extra" for these as options from Porsche.
4. Dial out under steer - don't see this as a factory issue, just a set up thing and can be done without any factory assistance.

Several of the poll options are borderline humorous (as I know the OP realizes).

Yes sir,I do realize. Although they are based on recent threads and questions on this very forum. Except perhaps the swap from 5 lugs to CLs. Knowing the CLs " reputation ",I thought there's no way someone would want to switch to them,yet we have 3 votes in favor so far.

I voted backup camera - never thought it would be necessary, but I've found it's MUCH easier to back into my detached garage than it is to go head-in. A backup camera would be like cheating...
