This is the print out from the configurator, I just saved it as a PDF. My actual build sheet is from the dealer with the commission number on it.

My build slot in sometime in July, I forget the exact date but I think mid July.

You can download that type of file from the configurator. If you hit “save” that’s what you get.

Thanks man.

I'm not too worried about that. I don't mind it in black, gives it a little contrast. My current car is very mono colored and I am definitely needing some contrast, as little as the washers are, its still something that gives a little contrast.

Stopped by my dealer this weekend to check my status and change a couple of options (after much research here).
I'm V200 now with a lock on June 11. Build in July. Delivery late August. I was advised that delivery may be delayed slightly since I've opted for a PEC Atlanta delivery (I live in Atlanta).
I just added LWBS to my build. I would appreciate any suggestions on the build before it locks.

Wow you’re timeline is great, if not a bit optimistic. Basically a month or so between build to delivery. My dealer says the Porsche initial estimate is always a little off and usually takes 3 months from build to delivery to the east coast from his experience.

We shall see in reality and hope your timeline is the new timeline for east coast deliveries.

Congrats on finally getting your car after more than a year of waiting. I looked at your build and noticed you didn’t select the 2-Zone Automatic Climate Control. Many people have said they regretted not getting this feature because it was a drag to keep adjusting the temperature manually. Do some search on this topic and see what you think.

Since I keep a dedicated 981 Cayman S track car, I have always been more of a Porsche mid-engine platform guy and love the perfect balance. With that being said, I got on the list and put a deposit down for a GT4 at my local dealer on February 18th. Surprisingly, I was number one on the list and I got a call last week about an available allocation. I went there yesterday to finalize the spec for a Racing Yellow GT4 and the estimated arrival date will be 8/27. The expected V250 date is 6/25, and V260 will be 7/9. In the meantime, I am looking forward to passing time on this forum and also getting my '20 M2 Comp for sale. Here are the specs.

The timeline that I was told seems a bit optimistic too. My SA said a freeze date of June 2nd with an August 20th delivery. I am thinking more like a September delivery since my order includes PECLA delivery. The dealership is on the East coast.

i think i’ve figured out my two month push out…original delivery of july 30, and the PCA (US) raffle results are due july 31…so the porsche gods didn’t want me taking delivery the day before i won a new car!

since others with LEDs are mentioning normal delivery, i’m currently leaning toward burmester as the delay.

My options aren't far off from yours - Burmester is the one item I debated internally for a long time before opting against.

For MY sake... I hope your delay is caused by the Burm...

My progression is I sold my 991 GT3 race car last summer and replaced it with a '14 911TTS with 3k miles, go figure. After some reversible modifications I got the car on track this year and with 4 track days in I can honestly attest that driving that car on my home track (lots of tight turns and heavy brake zones) it is akin to wrestling an alligator, especially compared to the GT3. After following a friend a few weeks ago in his new GT4 and watching him keep up with the big boy GT cars I decided to stop fighting the laws of physics and go mid-engine. The sales manager at the local Porsche dealer is a friend and I am now in V200 status with a mid-October delivery. I'll probably go through another 3 sets of cup 2s on the portly beast while I wait as I get on track at least once a week. Goal is to break in the engine before winter so next spring it'll be ready to hit 8000.

After 8 months, I am back in the waiting room for a '22 Boxster GTS. Here is my build, but not sure about the Burmester. The Bose in my '17 991.2 was awful but in the 992 it was decent. I wonder if they upgraded the Bose since 2017. I rarely turn the system on, but when I do, it should be good listening.

My build is scheduled for the fourth week of July. Here's to hoping it builds one week sooner to avoid the August shut-down.

The '20 GT4 I rented on Turo this past weekend had Bose. It was still as awful as I remember the Bose sounding in the 9x1 cars (note I don't think the Bose sounds TERRIBLE when it's in the Macan or Cayenne... but the sporty cars, its really bad.)

I was on the fence with my Spyder build about the Burm. In the end, I left it off - and just ordered the car with the regular old Sound Package Plus. I'll be buying a speaker and amp kit from Musicar NW - they make a complete, drop-in setup for the SPP cars for something like $4,500 that'll sound better than the Burm. If you're at all handy (I am) it's DIY'able with some patience for removing the door panels to swap in the new speakers.
