Must have options

This is going to be highly variable because of different tastes, but what would you guys consider to be options we should definitely try to get?

So does that mean no carbon fiber?
Are the PCCBs that much better than stock to justify $8k?
What is the function of the locking diff????

"6 disc changer (when operating NAV, without 6 disc changer can't play CD's as Nav uses CD slot?? it used to in the 996 TT..)"

On the 997 there is a dedicated DVD player for the NAV disk under the hood next to where the CD changer is. The Nav is DVD based.
It also appears that an iPod dock is coming and there is a work around for satalite radio. Check out the 997 forum
