I wasn't referring to the "club sport" option, I was referring to the PCM3 2009 model, this is the ultra rare model, they built mostly 2008s, only small differences.
Incidentally some people get excited about the "club sport" option and it is much rarer than non club sport but the reason it is rare is because most first owners did not want a cage in the back, nomex seats, harnesses and a fire extinguisher
I like to think of mine as a "lightweight" GT2, I purposely minimised the options and it weighs full of fuel 1440kg which is 35kg heavier than the GT2RS tested by Sport Auto (which was a light one) and is similar weight to most of the higher specced GT2RSs (which were specced with PCM, xenon lights, normal batteries, A/C,cages)

like my 2010 3.8GT3 came std in US with the lightweight battery which was a pricey option here but I think Porsche figured out no one was paying $1100 for a battery or whatever crazy price it was.
Your car looks very nice love the updates.

Found a set of BBS FI wheels in matte black for sale here in the US. I'll post pics once installed. Big thanks to Eric @ SupremePower.
Car arrives tomorrow and of course I'm going to be out of town for business. This will be the second time in a row my wife gets seat time in a new (to us) car before me.
Ah well, she puts up with my car addiction so I hardly have room to complain.
