How is everyone speccing their 997GT2???

[dealmaker]

For those of us fortunate enough to be getting 997GT2's - how is everyone speccing their cars??

I'm not that keen on the standard colours but am currently thinking Black with Body coloured (Black) rims - and whaever else I can get on it, including, hopefully, club sport package and PSE!

Failing that I was thinking of getting "paint to sample" and getting either RS Orange or Blut Orange (like Ruf RT12 launch car) - with black rims in both instances - this will no doubt delay things but nowhere near the 6 months the dealers will claim.

Anyone else debating what to order, when, eventually, we get the spec sheets?

Im still deciding on what I want for mine.

Oh sh1t here we go again. Does this mean we are going to get the same type of posts as when you were speccing your GT3RS?

I'm looking forward to the 'Help! - Should I get the stereo volume control knob in carbon fibre or brushed aluminium?'post

I'll start - I'm going for Satnav. Now someone can tell me how the extra weight will loose me five secs. round the 'Ring.

OK then, in the spirit of the original post I'm going for black on the basis that GT2s should look mean and moody.

I'm lucky I'm not getting one so theres a weight off my mind,phew!!!

Actually thinking about it,being less fortunate and only being able to be prospective second/third owners, I think we poorpers should have some say in our future purchaces,so therefore please copy me the spec sheet,I'll check what I want and call me when we need to test drive it.Ta...

In the spirit of one of the above posts, I would prefer you pass on the Satnav as it will most likely be obsolete by the time I am in a position to buy the car.

I do approve of the black.

Excellent guys! Like all other buyers I am naturally more concerned about resale, depreciation, what other people think blah, blah blah rather than enjoying the car. After all it may be my £140k but it will be someone else's car one day. So, if the next say four or five owners of my car could get together and confirm what spec. they'd like me to go for that would be grand. Ah, what the hell - I'll just burn £50ks worth of notes on day one and pass my order on to someone else - that way I don't have to go through the misery of collecting and actually driving the car! Phew what a relief.

White with silver wheels, easier for me to look after and repaint in five years...

By the way look after my seats when you get in and out will you, don't keep dragging your butt across the side bolster.......

Also dont drive it that much,you are bound to have other cars,find an interesting business venture that needs investment,or buy a new house or get divorced,then you will be able to relieve your self prematurly of the car and get rid of that annoying niggle that you have once you have actually got the car and realised what it cost. And you know what its like when you park it some where dodgy or it makes a new strange noise at the back some where,and you loose sleep,those worries will disapear.

....white with black rims, or black with black rims. The orange/green should stay on the RS cars where they look best.

Well, you know that "weight off your mind" will save you another second off your lap times.

You've got me thinking with that orange pic! BUT, will anything 'non standard' push delivery times back - I know it did with GT3? Currently thinking black too - if I don't go down special colours route. Mind you non of us know FOR SURE who's getting cars yet do we..................................
