Do not option the car based on options for future buyer. Option it based on the options you want and know you'll use. Too many options is not good, as you'll never really see that money back.

The must have options on a GT3, which the RS already has.... Dynamic engine mounts and carbon bucket seat. The other must have options, to me, are full leather, full yellow stitching (may not be required due to you color combo), PCCBs, bluetooth, universal audio interface, mats and dynamic cornering lights (great for night driving). And maybe yellow seatbelts to match the PCCBs.

Anything else, is a waste of money. All those carbon part can be had much cheaper through aftermarket vendors. Most people hate the sport chrono on the dash and use a Trackmate at the tracks, which uses GPS to map tracks also takes videos and costs about $800. You can always sell it later and get your money back. Enhanced sound is debatable. And navigation, most people rarely use and if needed, any smartphone can give directions.

You'd save over $10K by taking out those extra options that are not really needed...

Whenever you do sell the car, it is more important to have the right options, than almost all the options.

Thats how I would have optioned my RS, instead, thats how I optioned my 10' GT3 since I did not want to wait

Yes, that is why I am not including axle lift nor the dynamic headlights. Thanks for the feedback.

I understand that you lose the RS 3.8 lettering but the strip is still in CF. Am I wrong?
