More fuel, more weight if you track. I am still debating weither to get this or not. Smaller tank may not be bad on road trips as it's about the usual range before I have to pee 
Front Lift is a definite one for me.
LEDs would be nice but pricey. I would prefer to put the money towards PTS if that was an option.
Cheers,

I'm going thru the options and was wondering if the front axle lift is necessary. I wished my .1RS had it but my questions goes to current 991 owners. Having less overhang is the lift necessary? Since the car cost $10K more than expected I would prefer to go light on options.
For those ordering don't forget the free options.
1. floor mats
2. smoking package (you get extra plug to charge phone and etc)
3. free nav if you pay $700 for sound plus
4. 90l tank (for us lazy don't like to fill gas people)
5. cargo net

The 90L tank has no downside IMO. I make long runs to get to the coast and would appreciate the extra dino fuel. Or being able to drive to the track on a full tank and not have to screw around with refueling before track fun starts.

Getting all 5 options and the lift. Having had the 996 GT3 and the 997 GT3, both were more of a PITA to drive around the city than the regular 996s and 7s I owned. Sometimes I would shrug and say f'it, don't want to deal with a parking garage ramp downtown so I'll take my truck instead.

13 lbs IIRC. Located low and up front. Think: about 2 gallons of fuel equivalent. Nothing to be worried about.

All I believe is the front axle lifting system will make my life a lot easier. Few days ago, the porsche guy rang me up, he got an internal message from Porsche China. The lifting system is not a standard option for China market (It was, when Porsche China announced the GT3 price in March) The production will start from October. If I insist not to have the lifting system, I can have my GT3 in October. I really doubt the delivery date. course the first GT3 delivery for US / UK market is about Oct / Nov. I don't think we can have retail car so soon. Anyway, I still firmly believe the front axle lift system will help me heaps when getting in / out the carpark.

It's not about living in a hilly region so much, as it is dealing with commonly found transitions. The worst are driveways/ramps at the street where you have a bit of rain gutter. Once past the transition, you are OK, but often I found myself doing gymnastics to get in and out of driveways, ramps, gas stations to keep my car from scraping.
Speedbumps are less of a problem.
Nails on a chalkboard even if you cant see the damage from casual inspection.
