Same here. Better putting the £500 odd extra climate cost to more worthwhile options.
Carbon interior and sills?
Carbon centre console?

I guess it depends on your priorities Mr Judgmental..! wink
Not actually speccing the carbon sills now.

Each to their own of course but imo the aluminium trim looks st as per the GT3 similar the anthracite so carbon is the only alternative....thumbup
Not the only alternative. I've gone painted to match exterior colour on dash and centre console.

Yes, but then it's all just a bit too black. I like the idea of splitting the upper and lower dash with something different, personally. No wrong option though. Just preferences.

not if you have contrast stitching ..

IMO, black leather makes the interior more cohesive with one less type of material (alu, painted plastic, carbon)

Agree with Jackwood, for me it needs brightening up. I'd have been happy as a pig in $hit if I could have had Viper with matching painted interior trim.

Sounds great.

Although I think I'd have to go CS in preference to PCM. I know they're at opposite poles, but as with GT3's historically, it's the CS cars which attract the greater value. And I'd anticipate fewer CS specified GT4's than GT3's.

Residuals have influenced so much - I'd rather have a PCM i can use daily, than £2k's worth tubing weighing down my car. wink

For me, PCM has no real value. It's a weekend car and whether or not I go CS I'd still not specify PCM.

Agree that almost £3K sounds a lot for the CS pack but it's really something you can only practically specify from new.

Still undecided.

A little different if it is a week-end car. 996GT3 CS's are worth/desired more than the standard 996GT3.

Id normally tend to agree but I come from a gt3 CS background where you get a proper rear cage not just one bar so from that perspective I think it's a rip off especially considering the gt3 CS option was gratis.
So I think sadly for resale the pcm has to be the choice to keep the Cost sensible.

Happy with my lot for the price tbh

Exactly that, and order what you want.

In GT4, for me its PCM over CS and day of the week.

And in a couple of years time you'll have the VHS equivalent of a sat nav system in your car laugh

You're totally right, people should buy what they want. For me PCM has no value beyond that of an £80 Garmin or a free app on my iPhone.

most people don't buy a £75k car with no PCM

be a hard sell later imo esp for a road car which it is.

This car is due in November.

Before collection it will be detailed and wrapped with Suntek PPF. A week after collection Centre Gravity will make any alterations to the Geo.
