Mine showed up at the dealer at 6pm lol. But it came in too late to pick it up tomorrow like I planned. So I'll have to wait for Friday.... Then 5 more days until ppf is completed...ugh.
I'm super happy to be graduating at the end of this week!

Congratulations everyone. I’ve had mine a month and a half and I’m still making up new excuses to get out and drive it in any, and all weather.

Me too except rain. My wife rolls her eyes at me for going out at midnight for drives. 3 weeks for me and I should break 1000km tomorrow or the day after. At this rate I might have it broken in at the end of the month (Not 100% exactly AP's break in procedure but fairly close).

How did you come across GR? Was that one of the PTS options for the GT4, I'm sure folks have no idea how rare that is. Congrats to you, I also went 18 way sofas

I was telling my wife I'll be so hard up to get through the break-in, that by the time I get home with the milk from the other state/city it will be sour! There are some fantastic curvy roads out near us, I'm about an hour or so from SavageGeese type of twisty roads and open fields. I'm sure next spring I'll try to catch up with @IL_Pete and check out some of his favorite roads. Check out the Curvature site, they have some great info about the roads.

I thought Guards Red was a “normal basic” no charge colour?

For 2020, Guards Red had the lowest take rate on the GT4 of all of the colors. Pretty surprising, IMO.

I confused it for Carmine Red, which I see is not an option for the GT4. My apologies for the error.

Where can we see the take rates on colors? Is there a production list?

Just found out that I am on the ship named GARNET LEADER.

In the interest of time and not having to endlessly search, does anyone know the best why to track the ships progress?

Really? I know it is one of the rarer colors but I thought one of the whites was the rarest for 2020 and 2021 because there are 2 whites. I almost switched to guards red last minute, but IMO reds without metallic are very difficult to maintain looking shiny and are difficult to photograph and have look bold. Lovestoturn knows how to photograph it though and have it pop. His avatars almost pushed me over the edge (but a racing buddy with a guards red cayman that looks off red kept swaying me away from it)



I don't need to look at the data but I going to go out on a limb and say Frozen Berry metallic is about as popular as cheese and dryer lint flavoured ice cream and is now the rarest color.
