That all said, I wish you the very best, and importantly become a fun buying experience.

I was one of the lucky ones... I got PTS and my dealer confirmed with PCNA that my car will be the ONLY 2015 GT3 painted in this color, so it will be 1 of 1. Pretty excited about this.

It will be Basalt Black... the color I had chosen for my 2014 before the run was canceled. I was set on that color, which of course was discontinued for the 2015 run, thus I had to go the PTS route in order to get it...

Thanks Brakedust! I'm really excited about it... I know some 2014 GT3s were built in this color, but never got to see one in the flesh... The dealer is saying mine should arrive around 12/1.

Hi eilig, congrats! I'm sure you're stoked! Just curious, is there any way your dealer or PCNA contact can provide a list of all the PTS colours that were successfully ordered? It would be cool to find out, and I suspect there may be quite a few not represented here on RL. If that info is not available, can they at least tell you how many PTS GT3s were ordered?

this makes sense...and in reading through your posts, I see now that you have had some time getting a GT3, I am glad to see in your case, with an issue dating back to original 2014 order, that they are honoring your color...congrats!

I saw a jet black cayenne today and a basalt. The basalt was a grayish metallic black, the jet black was a blueish metallic black. The basalt also had more metallic flake in it. With all respect to the OP, I would not have paid PTS money for a color which is basically identical to the current one offered for $700... But, there is nothing quite like having exactly what you want in life so all decisions are good decisions.
I actually fell in love with the jet black after seeing and will be speccing it on my build.

It will be 'Pure Green / Reingrün', color code Y56. It was just approved by 'Porsche Exclusive' and it will be the only gt3 in the f***ing universe in this wonderful hue! I was torn between it and all the other wonderful & unique colors offered via PTS - Mexico Blue, Gulf Orange, Signal Green, Voodoo Blue, Signal Yellow, Riviera Blue, Viper Green, ModeGrau, Etna Blue, Brewster Green, Blue Francia, Gelbgrün, Gulf Blue, Pastel Orange, Lichtgrün, Maritime Blue, Oak Green Metallic. Well you, know...so many great choices, right?
But in the end, after some serious back & forth, I decided to make this PTS 991 gt3 really special and order it in a PTS color that will be memorable & historic!

In the interest of full disclosure, the author (z356) of this fictional post wants to make clear to all of you that he has nothing against 'Basalt'. Some of his best friends are 'Basaltic' and he actually dated a girl in college that was born there! So he is not prejudiced. He is A-OK with 'Basalt'. He loves the 'flakes' and everything about that color!
Really, he does!

So I don't know what to believe. I get a call back that seems odd saying I can have my PTS- signal green by the way. I asked how come the other dealers in so cal said no. He said he can get it - Nov build - and then says 20k over. I'm thinking of just going to my primary dealer and getting white again- this just seems odd. I already miss my old car....geez.
