![]() So the stock steel brakes it is, which also saves me the depreciated equivalent of 9000 dollars. Other than black, it doesn’t match with any other exterior color - and I’m not buying a black GT3. Indeed it’s only aesthetics, but I’m paying a relatively enormous sum of money for the GT3 and I really hate yellow-colored calipers. I’ve always loved the looks of beefy brakes nestled behind alloy wheels, so I wouldn’t have objected to paying more for the carbon stoppers, but for one huge problem: the PCCB calipers are yellow, while the stock steelies are a proper shade of red. For just a hair over 9,000 dollars, the car can be fitted with even larger carbon ceramic discs. The 991.1 GT3 comes standard with fabulously large six-piston front, four-piston rear brakes clamping down on iron discs. The next big item after paint is actually the brakes. Anyways, my color preferences are, by order of desire: red, white, silver, yellow, blue. A GT3 is a thoroughbred sports car, not a diesel station wagon. I didn’t want gray because having seen a GT3 in that color, all the special lines and curves of the car gets muddied and overshadowed (same is true in black).īrown got tossed because, well, it’s brown. Drive it down a road for a minute and it looks dirty again. ![]() Black was an easy elimination because it only looks good for that one split-second after you’ve just finished detailing. It was rather quick: the only colors taken off the list were any variety/shade of black, gray, and brown. So it became a matter of eliminating colors, rather than picking only one. I guess I’m an impatient millennial after all. Being that I am buying a used sample, I figure I cannot be too picky I really want to avoid spending months on end hunting down just the correct colored car with the appropriate options. To investigate, I bought myself a brochure (which alone cost 100 dollars used on eBay - the Porsche tax is real) to survey the possibilities back in 2014.įirst and foremost in the decision process is the exterior color. However, there are some key options that I reckon are absolutely essential for the full 991.1 GT3 experience. Obviously, I haven’t got the sort of monetary reserves to concern myself with special seatbelts and Alcantara sun-visors. Indeed it’s far too easy - and tremendously fun - to spec a Porsche car and have the options alone cost more than a well-equipped family sedan. The notoriety extends to the option prices, too: you want Apple CarPlay in your Porsche? Hyundai will give it to your for free in the Elantra, but i a Boxster, that will be 360 dollars. Porsche does things a lot differently: the company is hilariously notorious for its immense options list, where buyers can spec all sorts of things, from the useful (sports exhaust) to the downright ridiculous (deviated stitching in neon green on the leather-wrapped fuse-box door). You see, buying a Porsche car isn’t as straight forwards as the typical mainline manufacturer, where you pick the color, select from the few option packages you want, and on you go.
