What do you guys think are the must have options for the 997 GT3 Mk 2?

 

colored stitching/gauges/belts to match whichever calipers you get, dynamic motor mounts, pcm... then whichever leather/alcantara/trim you so desire.

 

GT2 seats

 

Unless it is a "track only" car, I think the front axle lift is essential for normal use.

 

Imho, they are no essentials on this car. Dynamic mounts will likely provide a fractions of a second on a lengthy course by a very skilled driver at the limit. The lift system, although, very cool, is way too pricey. It is only essential imo, if the roads frequently driven have the need for it, i.e. steep drive, garage at work, etc... Otherwise, some buyers will have it then going over just one bump thinking that everything is cool and scrape the front lip anyway. You could likely buy 20 lips and store them in your garage and still have some beer money; maybe even a filet for the grill.

Also, regarding the motor mounts, I think that there will be two selections, normal and race. Well, race will likely be what we all believe, which although dynamic within the race parameters, will be too stiff for frequent street use. Normal will likely be too soft for a gt3, if one likes the current mkI gt3 ride. So, I wonder if there will be a mode which replicates the current gt3 ride. If not then they wouldn't be for me anyway. My gt3 will be a street car only, but with that said, I want a gt3 ride. I also love what we all love about these cars: more raw, more loud, more speed, better sound, way cool looking. (I drove the 997.1 and loved it.) I know I am getting way off topic here, but for me a $120k (subjectively, well optioned) gt3 is the only choice considering that a 997.2S (ditto) is $100K.

Again, sorry for the OT verbage.

 

^ actually well said. i would prob skip the mounts and front lift.

 

- GT2 seats (alcantara/leather)
- xenon (i think this is std. if not, a must option)
- rear center console in exterior paint
- instrument dials in carrara white (if car is white)

 

Xenons are standard. Halogens are a no cost "lightweight" option and the dynamic xenons (that turn with the steering wheel) are an extra cost option.

 

I agree, my old C2S with aero was constantly scraping on things around town and that only had -10mm PASM.

With the mk2 having -30mm and a less forgiving front lip design Im pretty sure the car will be almost undriveable day to day without the front axle lift. Yes its cheaper to replace your front lip 20times, but in practice this wont happen and I imagine the mk2 will just get stuck in some places that the mk1 might have been able to get through with just a scrape. Even though its really expensive I still feel this is one option I must have on mine.
