Ugh! It's such a grind to get these cars finally delivered. Going on day 10 in Emden waiting for a boat.

Let us know what you find out about the port hold once released.

Now the real wait begins. January production / end of Feb delivery. I am looking forward to tracking the build process w/ photos in January! Still on the fence regarding the Cxx / interior carbon trim. They're asking $5500. If the aluminum bits bother me that much, I figure I'd just order the parts and have a local body shop install them at a lower cost (not sure if it will be lower or not). Anyhoo, here she is. My dream Porsche (until the GT3 allocation . I appreciate all of your good advice & good taste.
I tried to send you a PM, but they are turned off? You say PEC-ATL delivery. Are you in ATL? I am curious what dealer and how you got an allocation.

thanks

Default Signal yellow

Anyone have a recommendation of what color deviated stitching to go with Signal Yellow Spyder?

Not sure about all of the extended colors....but yellow is all I can think of. Unless you want to do speed/shark blue and keep a blue/yellow theme throughout the car. Which Is what I did but the inverse of your car. Blue car with yellow "bits"

That is a beautiful spec. We will be boat mates whenever it gets there. I have been contemplating a Kline exhaust as well. Seems crazy that I want to make such a large mod before even driving the car. Did you go with SS or Inconel?

My OAP are going on as soon as I take delivery. I may even have the dealer do it. I've heard the car with and without it. Amazing.

There is a comprehensive thread on this elsewhere if you haven't seen it yet. Just search for "DSC 718 Installation" if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Thank you! Big fan of shark blue as well. Good call on black brakes. I went with SS. Just cant tell a big enough difference in sound clips between the two and that's just another 2k I can spend on something else lol. I can keep you updated on sound clips as soon as it comes in. Should be here within a week of the car. Dealer ETA for GT4 is within a day or 2 of Christmas day.
