So i went safe but flashy with the color choices available. Racing Yellow same spec pretty much Black wheels, leather with yellow stitching, pdk,18way bucket, heated seats, logo high gloss, door handle high gloss, black calipers high gloss, luggage net, fire extinguisher, smoking package, led pdls, light design, folding mirrors, auto dimming light rain sensor, bose, apple play, interior trim painted, yellow seat belts, floor mats. i know it seems a bit over the top. my gts viper was yellow and so was my M-3 so i am hard wired in that direction plus it Racing Yellow. Thanks all for comments. I probably will not be posting much as i will not have much to offer but i am still playing with cars and will post pictures when the car gets here. Stay safe the craziness in the world will end soon keep the faith.
Sounds good, very close to my build, awaiting delivery in December. If you're already partial to yellow, I think you'll love RY, it's the nicest of the variants.

Miami Blue is being withdrawn from the color palette, but I believe it is available for ordering/production into December, as an example my allocation is fixed (V250) on 10/16 and enters production 10/30 and it is Miami Blue....


I have a Miami Blue GT4 with the same dates as you for production but a fixed date of 10/23.
Enter body shop on 10/30
Exit production on 11/6
Hoping I don't get a phone call tomorrow that there is an issue.

I think you are ok, while the "fixed" date is an important milestone, I cannot see a reason why 2 cars adjacent in the production schedule would not also obtain paint approval, the *key* date is the entry to the body shop ... and the MB deadline

as I stated in a few other threads, we had to get our GM to trade up for an allocation in November in order to secure Miami blue. We have a November 6 build date according to The GM. The vehicle is currently at v210 according to my salesman. Does anybody have any good insight on the 210 status? I search for it unread list but I still don’t fully understand it’s meaning.

looking back at the emails he ended up getting us a build for November 6 on September 23 so I hope your SA is correct lol! Just sent him a text asking him to check on the vehicle status.

my personal guess is that the new 992 GT3 will come in that color (rumored to be called "shark blue" - and rumored to be like the VAG cornflower blue) hence the replacement color will not be available until that model launches ... but this is just my guess.
