2015 GT3 must have options

I am considering a GT3 and wondered what options I will definitely need or want. After much research I have learned no backup camera on GT3's and the car i am looking at has no heated seats which is not huge to me. It does have the suspension lift which I understand is a must.

Mine has a backup camera. I think front lift is a must have, specially if you drive around town...

I had a 2015 GT3 for 2 years. I had a backup camera installed. Others have installed them cheaper. I have a Pearl backup camera on my GT4. 500. Works thru phone.
Extended gas tank nice to have. 21.9 L
Would get CPO
Better year 2016 "G" engine over that of "E"2014 and "F"2015.

I noticed in your picture you now have a Turbo what is your opinion coming from the GT3? I had a Turbo and now looking at the GT3 but have about decided the Turbo might be a better choice to go back to since I will never track either car. I def. like the resale aspect of the GT3 vs the turbo cars but one would need to be happy with whichever choice. Thanks for any info you might provide!

I track the GT4 so I have the noise and manual experience with that. TTS much more refined but low end torque nice. For weekends either car great. If you daily then TTS.
I daily a 2017 Honda CRV. Turbo . There is too much distracted driving in Seattle to make me want to drive my Porsches as a daily. Wife drives a Lexus SUV 2006 rather than her 2005 manual boxster.
Weather also an issue up here. Rainy
Good luck.

PCCBs are amazing. Once you go carbon ceramics, you will never want to go back! I love my brakes.
