Some people think even the factory sports suspension on the standard 911 is too uncomfortable for them...
Not sure what that has to do with:The standard Clubsport package in the new 911 GT2 RS consists of a bolt-in roll cage behind the front seats, a six-point racing harness in red for the driver’s side, a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket and preparation for a battery master switch.
If you don't want all the "cool" stuff - just buy a Turbo surely?

Fair point, I thought there was more in the Clubsport package than the safety bits. Anyway, the Turbo doesn't have the right badge on it...The standard Clubsport package in the new 911 GT2 RS consists of a bolt-in roll cage behind the front seats, a six-point racing harness in red for the driver’s side, a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket and preparation for a battery master switch.

are we really . . .
a - this anal that we have to endlessly scrutinise & rummage through every single advert and pick on every single thing that it doesnt meet "our" (obviously perfect) standards - no wonder Porsche owners have a pipe & slippers rep and have the piss ripped out of them most of the time! Maybe the new Head of PH Classified Advertising Standards should be picked from the PH Porsche SUB forum!
2 - so bored that we have nothing better to do?
c - an elitist community?
FFS - unless YOU are going to buy it - does it really matter - that's what "options" are for!?!?!??

2 - Yes (I like what you did with the lettering/numbering there)
C - Yes of course we are, that's why we drive Porsches isn't it?
Simple answer is the guy bought what he wanted, his choice and for his reasons.
Don’t go thinking that the deletion of the clubsport package will make any GT like a turbo, it doesn’t, not even close. It wouldn’t put me off buying his RS, in fact I’d prefer it.
IMO the clubsport package is for drivers who are more track orientated, for day to day driving I think the adaptive sport seats are the better option…just an opinion though, I haven’t done a distance in the buckets.

Maybe he wants the performance, but needs the room behind the seats to put stuff in?
Surely when you have a 200k car you will also have another car with a big boot for when you need it? I just don't get why you would make sacrifices on a car which is so focused as this?
...still looks awesome though!

Why wouldn't you just get a standard GT2? Why pay all that extra for an RS then delete the very things that make it an RS?FaineantFreddy said:

Probably the same reason Deborah Meaden (Dragons Den) has (had?) an Audi RS6 Avant. To have 'the Ultimate'/'the top of the line' etc etc.Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
