Guys I sold my Turbo and am looking for my GT3.
I have two choices right now
1. loaded with PCCBs nice color all the goodies
2. stripper with only Xenons

same miles 3K

Both are within $3K. any reason I should
not get the one with all the goodies for
basically the same price?

It depends on what you want to do with the car, for the street
I would get the fully loaded car and then swap out to the steel discs
for the track.

If this is a track car only, get the other one.

Given that, I would get the fully loaded car.
FYI, did you see if you can get a new car, I know "MY Porsche" in
Seaside (Monterey), CA has a nicely loaded GT3 in their showroom.

Get the loaded one (it's not any slower). There are people looking for PCCB's, so yank those off, sell them and get the cash for a nice set of full-floating or Cup car steels.

Post some pics when you close the deal.

Coming to the darkside are we?? IMO, you can't go wrong either way. With the minimal price difference I would get the loaded one. Good luck with your decision and remember to post some pix.

Congrats Paul, I would buy the more basic car with the steels, just my opinion.
