Quick couple of questions - specced the car over the weekend with the dealer, and just wanted to run it past you lot. Sports Chrono: Apart from providing a clock/stop watch on my dash (including track app), it does not provide any performance enhancing throttle mapping? I am sure it doesn't, SA said otherwise and I just want to triple check with you. First thought is to keep lines simple and not get it, as my other cars don't have it. Auto dimming mirrors: yay or nay? Thank you in advance
I personally did not order the auto dimmers.

I really l ike what the R stands for, a modern day example of purity. As I have spent quite a bit of time over years in weight reduction related to Porsche, I wonder if anyone would like a further lightweight package that I am thinking about that should save another 50 to 60 kg? Thoughts, please.

Think you are right Reza - a bit more understated which is one of the things I love about this car.
Another question for those with experience of both. Which dashboard trim is going to stand the test of time. Alcantara or the leather option?

Alcantara interior is so far not an option. Leather can be had as a no cost option.

All of the parts I was thinking of (in today's vernacular, reimagining) could be applicable to GT3 except the rear spoiler. Additionallly, I assume that the GT3 has different spring rates but that should not present a problem. I would also have to check the anti roll bar diameter.
As to GT3 RS, the spoiler and the wheels would clearly be inapplicable as would be the spring rates. Additionally, I suspect that the length of the axles is different. Does anyone know about that length?
Finally, someome referred to these type of parts as jewelry. Yes, they look good but their purpose is to improve functionality and/or reduce weight.

My dealer requested one for me back as early as August last year. Still no luck, I'm a non-VIP but frequent customer.
