Haha too good to be true, even all the small bits like painted key, roll over hoops and headlight washers were too risky to do due to the feasibility study needed. Too risky losing the allocation so just PTS Arrow Blue...not complaing though

"just" Arrow Blue - you're killing me!!!

BTW I was told headlight washer were doable, keys too, rollbars were still under consideration for feasibility but would unlikely be completed for Dec/Jan build.

Almost certainly was British racing green. Irish and BRG are very close.

Thanks for checking in. Looks like you're in the wrong thread as this is for PTS/custom color cars. I've inputted your data into my other thread and I've provided a link for you to check out if you'd like. There's more information that I'm gathering for the non-PTS/non-custom color thread if you'd like to provide it as well. Have a look.

No problem. Interesting that you eta is showing 11/13/20 as I think everybody else with a MY21 is showing 12/4/20 especially if they have PDK spec'd.

well its confirmed that I wont get PTS in 'Jan build, now I have to decide if I want to push the build back to Feb/Mar in the vain hope that I might get a PTS slot...

I'm going to get a Miami Blue car instead... before the color goes away

Sorry to hear. Did you get an explanation or was it that there was no room because you're too far down the list? Do you know how deep the list is? Is it like 10 deep or 100 deep?

All that Exclusiv PCNA were able to tell me was that my allocation was not assigned either a PTS or CXX "slot" in 'Jan, apparently PAG do not share their internal production lists with PCNA, so they were unable to comment
on either the length of the list or my position on it.

When asked about delaying the build into 'Feb or 'Mar their observation was that my chances were at best 'slim' ...

Oh Man, I feel for you.....this is Deja Vu all over when I ordered the 981 GT4....same situation as yours so had to pick RY or take my chances with allocation in 2016.

Sounds like going for Miami Blue is the best option at this point. MB is a very unique color but I understand the disappointment of not getting a PTS color when your heart is set on it. Wondering if March is the last month of PTS slots because if PTS were to still be available say in April, May, June, etc I suppose they could have just told you to keep pushing out and see what happens but if they're already telling you your chances are slim, maybe March is the last PTS month?

exactly - I could roll the dice and push the build back to March in the hope that I get PTS, but if I dont, I will have missed the opportunity to get Miami Blue ... I could choose Gentian or Yellow - but for now I think Miami is my alternate to Arrow Blue

on the upside - I just saved $12380!!!

good question, who knows I dont even think PCNA does ... I could keep pushing it out in the hope of getting it - which I guess is non-zero but is it worth the wait?

I'm not sure it is when I can have a car by Dec/Jan ...

BTW all of a sudden it seems as though "everyone" has a Miami Blue car on their lots ... two local dealers just got GT4's in ... going to see one now to experience the color "in-person" - this will drive my decision!
