    it's not an option on series 1 GT3 clubsports though - it costs a LOT to get it fitted iirc.
    If the GT3 CS is nothing more than a standard GT3 with some fancy bits, why does it cost so much?

    Along those lines I have another question. Which is more hard core, the CS or the RS?

    AC is the only equipment i think is realllllllly needed.. I don't care if it doesn't have power windows, fancy stereo, electric seats.. I don't even care if it's manuel or automatic AC.. I just want an AC in my car..

    All american bound 997 GT3s get sunroof as a standard, non deletable, spec. How about that...

    As for A/C, even of you were going for a track day only car I would asume you would have to drive to and from the track in hot summer days. I would order it, but not the sunroof.

    If the 996 GT3 ClubSport had Climate Control I'm sure the rest of the GT3's do.
    The current GT3 RS's can get SatNav etc...

    If I was that concerned about weight that I would go without A/C I would also be on a diet.
    Horsepower wins races. Torque pulls trailers.

    a/c is really inevitable if you're not a proffessional driver ready to go through a great pain... i was riding a 996 GT3 few laps and a/c was off, but after that we had to turn it on because the heat was too great to bear

    The AC in the old Bonneville didn't work, and it SUCKS.

    I don't care how much aircon weighs, I'd get it.

    because it was never built for A/C - there is no ducting, no wiring, nothing
    it's not like putting an A/C unit back in.
