What does everyone think Porsche should have standard on the 996?

1) Litronics / Xenon's
2) Leather
3) 18 inch wheels
4) Euro M030
5) GT3 Seat option
6) Red Calipers
7) Colored Wheel Crest - Maybe
8) Short Shifter
9) Onboard Computer
10) Bose - Maybe

 

On a car of this caliber, the litronic/xenons should be standard along with the 18" wheels.

 

1. Xenons
2. Leather
3. Nav
4. Floor Mats
5. Auto-Dimming mirrors
6. Heated Seats
7. hi-fi Stereo or Bose
8. PSE
9. 030 Suspension or something to fix that SUV look Gap.
10. 18" Wheels

 

One thing to add to your list... which is really good BTW! Integrated... Garage door opener

 

My top 10:

1. M030 Suspension or even lower.
2. 18" wheels with more selection.
3. Nice floormats with embroidered logo.
4. Alum or carbon accents.
5. PSE.
6. Xenon headlamps.
7. Integrated Valentine V1.
8. Upgraded sound (even though I would rather listen to the engine)
9. Chrome hood crest and steering wheel crest.
10. Nice car care kit.

 

In addition to what is now standard, of course:

-auto dimming mirrors
-footwell lighting
-Sport Exhaust
-floor mats
-integrated garage door opener
-short throw shifter
-choice of either wood or aluminum interior accents
-lifetime roadside assistance (Mercedes has now)
-free scheduled maintenance for the warranty period

I better stop now before I start sounding like an
American car brochure. But seriously, there should
be more standard items in a car in this price range than there are now.

 

Am I correct in assuming that the higher suspension on US cars has something to do with the height of bumper or headlights...some Federal law????

 

Don - yes you are...its so if you hit a pedestrian at 30MPH or something like that
FYI- on the 996TT many of the items in your lists are standard like full leather interior, free electric seats with memory (or change to sport at no cost), self dimming mirrors (inner and driver) and rain sensor, Bose upgraded stereo etc....
I think electric sport seats should be the same price as regular electric seats!! right now, on a TT adding electric sport seats is $1220 a side and you gotta get both!! Also, they DO NOT have memory!

 

radar detectors, jammers, and forward firing guns

 

Hey Don... IMO the jury is still out on that one. The CGT, GT2, & GT3 all come with the same suspension as the ROW cars. I think it has something to do with Americans not being as tolerant to scraping and harsher rides.

Standard ride height requires the fenders to be rolled at the factory. I can not slip my hand between the front tire and the fender.

 

FULL power seats with memory!

 

not charging $700 for a shifter or footwell lighting would be a start

 

Clear side markers standard and Homelink would be nice!

 

Besides Twin Turbos and sticks to push the girls away from the car.. I can't think of anything else

 

This is a PORSCHE we are talking about, who cares about all of those BS options, all we need is to be able to get the EURO specs and options available to us in the states.
