Obviously Porsche wants the best of both worlds, which is what almost everyone has been saying. You are just harping on the opinion it should not be an option by maybe 2 or 3 people in this thread. I agree with you it should be an option given there's no more extra platform costs now since the SS has it optional. But like others have said, racing classes the SS will be in ban MRC. And that plus those going hard core track setups are good enough reasons to not make it standard.

So lets pretend the GT3 has an available 'performance package' equal to the 1LE package on the SS(so we can better compare apples to apples, instead of cars to car options). How would Porsche pull that off while using the exact same suspension they use on the base model? I asked this question a while ago, as I hope there is a viable answer. I would like to see them use the mag ride, but nobody can explain how that would pan out, and I cannot see a path GM could take to do it.
When I look at the options of mag ride(who knows how), and stiffer shock/spring combo, its easy for me to see which seems most likely. Again, I hope I am wrong and hope someone can convince me otherwise.
