Mk.I GT3 options matrix for CS/comfort models
Discussion
Hi all,
Wading in here with question #2 relating to my hunt for a Mk.I GT3. In my studies so far, I've found that the car came in two main variants, ClubSport and Comfort. However, I don't have a clear understanding yet of the options that were possible within these. In particular...
1. Do Comfort models ever (always?) have rear seats?
2. Was A/C a possible option on ClubSports?
3. What were the leather options for the two different versions?
4. I've seen Comfort models advertised with carbon packs (small/large) -- anyone know which bits are involved, whether they're real or fake carbon, and whether these options existed on the ClubSport?
5. Do I understand correctly that the interior kill switch and single-mass flywheel are unique and non-optional on the CS? I.e., if I see a car with the kill switch, then it'll have the lighter flywheel, and if I see one without then it won't?
As you can see, I'm trying to weigh up the relative benefits of the two models. If anyone can point me toward a definitive source of this information (perhaps a helpful and reliable contact within Porsche, or maybe even a scanned copy of an order form with the various options listed on it) then I'll toddle off and do my own reading, but my Googling has turned up nada so far. Any help or answers very gratefully received!

1. No - no GT3 has rear seats (from factory anyway).
2. Yes - the CS could have aircon, most do, same with CD multi-changer.
3. Generally the CS had nomex convered buckets, I believe the comfort could have leather buckets or sports seats.
4. dunno?
5. Pretty much yes, but the clutch/flywheel from the CS could be retro-fitted onto a comfort, but you'd want proper evidence of that.
This page gives lots of the details:

Cheers for that. I've been looking at the current options list for 997s and while there are no "large/small carbon packs" listed, there are a bunch of carbon trim options. The wording is always "carbon finish" or "carbon inlay", which would tend to indicate that this is just cosmetic stuff, rather than anything that could offer a real weight saving.

Absolutely, the carbon packs are cosmetic, just trim pieces - not weight saving in any way.
