Great selection so far and the red belts/dials are a MUST. If the Alcantara wheel and shifter are options PLEASE get those also. Just from the way you have it set up I call "dibs" on it when you sell it in 18months.

 

Yes the Alcantara wheel, shifter and brake handle are standard and remain if you get full leather and yes you can get the rear console painted if you get full leather. I optioned mine pretty much the same way without the red dials and belts. You can get a leather steering wheel as an option.

 

Ahhh awesome taste, my ideal 997 GT3

 

I'll just live vicariously through you, Oh Great One.

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction with the specs so far.

Great taste.

So what have you bought for the wife to drive? It would be tough to think of you as a selfish person.

Veyron on the way?

 

Not sure about the red seatbelts, as most of us will probably be putting in harnesses anyway - red schroths or sparcos would look really busy with a red seatbelt on the side

 

The red belts are a great contrasting touch. Very good choices on the options...

I was going to wait for a GT3 vs. 997S, but after options, it just got too rich for my blood. Can't wait to see the delivery pics!

I passed on the red dials...red a thread on rennlist about how difficult it is to see the red guages in daylight (and then I saw I pic on google....didn;t like the colour, and not the bright red colour you find on F430 tachs). Didn't see any need for PCM, NAV or Chrono. Didn't want to bling it too much with carbon either. Might make some late adjustments, but pretty much it for now. Let the wait begin....thanks for the input everyone, appreciate it

 

wow... its going to be a nice car for sure !

 

eugene, fortunately I kept my spot at the local dealer. spring delivery for me as well.

 

Jas, it looks well-specced for a GT3. I would also consider adding the thicker steering wheel.

The wait is going to be painful. OH WAIT, no it's not. Not for you at least

 

Amir, hope you are well my friend....when is your GT3RS coming in ? Do you know if thye thicker steering wheel can be ordered in alcantara ? I will find out....

Best, Jas

 

Jas,
just my opioion. what's the idea behind 461 Rod Antenna? it's pretty ugly imo. have u seen it?

also on the red belts. i think u should do yellow belts instead since u have PCCB. steel brake i'd do red belts but for PCCB i'd go yellow. knowing GT3 comes with CGT like dial(yellow needles), also u can order the RS steering wheel with the yellow band on the 12 o'clock like CS style (i have them on order ). those will really tight the yellow well with white. trust me on this.

 

The rod antenna improves AM reception. Regarding the RS steering wheel with the yellow stripe, it's not in the order guide for the GT3 that I can see, I suppose you can order it with the part number and have it installed after delivery. Are you saying it can be ordered with the car?

 

it's too ugly to listen to AM period.

no u can not order with the car but u can order it after the car.

 

I'm doing well Jas, thanks for asking. The signature is a bit of a parody that was born out of one of the GT2 threads about a month ago. Check posts 56 and 58 here:

I'm not sure if the thicker steering wheel can be had in alcantara, but it's something I feel is worthwhile. If you have smaller hands, you might not find it as necessary.
