97 GT3 Comfort at RPMTechnik?

I briefly had some Carrera GT seats in my 993 and I just didn't find them that comfortable, so I think the carbon buckets will be more suitable for me and look nicer. They do seem quite expensive tho :eek: It may be cheaper to just buy a Cayman R with them already optioned and then sell it on with the comfort seats swapped in! :D

However, I must make sure I don't go down the rabbit hole of mods, as I have a bad habit of spending too much money on mods and other stuff! I think the bucket seats will be a must have, and also to make the car more road focussed I'm also considering a DSC Controller (to make the car softer on bad roads) and maybe a head unit swap with CarPlay (so I know where I'm going).

Oh, I also put a deposit down on the car!

Congrats! Make sure you get some pics up when you pic her up! :)

The difference is literally a cage & seats, and a killswitch, nothing else. So unless its 80%+ track usage I wouldn't pay the premium. It won't drive any different.

Also fire extinguisher and harnesses were supplied in a box for the owner to fit / have fitted, plus the Clubsport pack cars had different door cards, without the bins. Agree with the rest of the comment though, a touring spec car would be better in that scenario

There is no kill switch.

Yeah, there was 'preparation" for it, but no kill switch as such

There's no preparation for it either. (997) :thumb:

Well. It's not actually there, if you find it let me know :thumb:

I suspect that's a cut and paste error from the 996 brochure :D
 
Well done Andy. Hope it's the car you expect it to be when you go and see it. 👍
