Frankly, I believe that only the true track junkies will even gain any advatage with the mounts.
I think the mounts are more for people like you, not track junkies. Real track junkies would use solid or semi-solid mounts. The optional dynamic mounts are for people who don't want the noise and vibration of the harder mounts when the car is not being driven hard.
Although, I have no intention of tracking the car, I want a GT3 ride. I thought that the mk1 gt3 was not harsh at all.
Anyway, porsche claims that the mounts will act in "RSR style", so i would imagine that would be more stiff. I do think that the normal mode will be more forgiving.
I am buying this car for a more exciting ride. The turbo was too sterile and the 997S was not enough. Just because it won't be a track car, doesn't mean that a real sports car ride is not desireable.
If it was my GT3, I would wait until the options became available, both the lift and the motor mounts. I think those would be cool options to have. Also, PCCB's are a must.
I think with the improved Iron brakes (Larger and lighter), PCCB's are less necessary than ever (especially since they cost $8,300).
That's a good point. Still, it would seem funny to me to get a GT3 without the racing brakes.
PCCB's are great brakes, but almost everyone I know who races or tracks alot has removed them for Iron.
I think they're more appropriate for street driving than racing.
On the road, they might last the life of the car. On the track they are a consumable item. At over $20k for a new set from wear or damage, it is not worth the minor improvement in handling.
