Passing is easy until you look at the pics in the thread below thread. Very similar to the car I'm considering.

Jack Daniels Porsche in NJ has an allocation to build. good luck.
So...... I have a decision to make. I've been asking my dealer to get me an allocation for a GT3 RS. He came through but it's a built car. I planned on trading my 2010 GT3 against this car. It would be used 90% for the track.
My spec would have been Blue w/White Gold as first choice and Dk Gray with red as second. Options would have been lift system and not much else.
The car I can buy is Dk Gray with Red and fully loaded. NAV, Full Leather, PCCB, cornering lights, lift system, premium sound, deviated stitching, etc., etc. The extra bucks don't bother me that much, it's just having full leather and a bunch of stuff I don't need in a track car. Not sure how much all of the extra's would really get me on resale either.
I'm leaning towards taking the car. But the spec is bugging me.

I also plan on getting the cage. Suncoast has them. Adaptives and lap belts don't cut it anymore in my GT3.

Don't get it, you don't want to blow 150k on a car that you're not sure about. I'd say get some test drives and see some color combos in person, test out some options, then custom order your GT3 RS so it's exactly what you want.
That's of course if you can do that...
If you can't, I'd wait for a better RS to come along.

Agreed, you will NOT finds a low option car at a dealer as previously suggested. I did a locate. Buy the car.
