It's always interesting to see manufacturers come up with names. Sometimes they're a hit and sometimes they're a miss. In this case, no disrespect but i have to say that it's a miss. I don't see Stone or Grey. IMO, it should have been named Safari Khaki or something like that.

We have some PTS options.

Olive Green Spyder for sale on pcarmarket. Buy it now price of $155K. MSRP was $138K. Tag on a $1K dealer fee and the auction fees and you have yourself a nice rip off.

I can't confirm if its the actual MSRP or not just passing on the message he sent me... I'm buying my GT4 from him for MSRP so there's a chance its accurate I suppose if you tick enough option boxes

That Stone Grey really changes in the light. In direct light it looks like an awful tan/brown color, while in the shade it looks like an awful grey color. Proof yet again that Porsche can call anything PTS and there will be Emperors somewhere who will think that they have sharp clothes.

Agreed on Stone Grey, certainly not my favorite color.

I appreciate what they are going for in this one below but I think I would have left the car alone. The pin stripping on the wheels is a nice touch.

As you’ve probably heard me say, I walked away from my stop-sale car and got an allocation from another dealer I have never visited. The schedule was for the order to lock on 9/7 and the car to be delivered 11/26. Then I raised the bar and asked the SA I’ve never met to get me a PTS slot. Just got word that they approved it. I’m going with Porsche Racing Green Metallic, black/Bordeaux interior, satin Aurum wheels and a manual transmission. Really excited about a getting a green metallic that’s more green than Aventurine.

I still don’t know the new build schedule.

Every interaction I have convinces me that kissing the ring of a dealer yields nothing of value. They say customer loyalty pays dividends but I just don’t buy it.

Congrats! I just updated the PTS spreadsheet with your new build but still missing some info. Are you getting a Spyder or BGTS 4.0? Can you also confirm which seats you're getting and which brakes and which color calipers you're getting?

Thanks. I’m the guy that ordered the car, then switched to PTS and tried to keep the price the same. It’s a CGTS 4.0. I went with the two way sports seat plus and the iron brakes. Red calipers, cause it’s Christmas themed.
