Those appear to be SwissTrax, not RaceDeck, based on the shine.

ok folks, I'm pleased to announce that it's a.... PORSCHE! I was able to be at the dealership as the truck rolled up. LOVE THE CAR AND COLOR! The dealer just told me it's been getting the most attention out of anything on the lot all day (and there was a PTS 911 and a new Cayenne GTS on the same truck and a GT3 near by). I love it! The black wheels transform the car; very aggressive looking. Tomorrow, I take it home after it's all cleaned up as @GT4 Shark Blue so poetically wrote earlier.

Here's a few pics.



They unload in the middle of a busy road. Welcome to NY!



Last on, first off!



Taa-daa!



Already turning heads.



Still in the wrapper



There's that Shark Blue!



Shark Tail



Interesting, note the speed limit.



Very low delivery mileage.

Very nice. I had a '08 135i that I like to think was the spiritual successor to the M2 (obviously the 1M was closer). Super-fun car. Did Euro delivery on it and spent two weeks bombing the Autobahn before handing it off to be delivered to me in the States.

Thanks @flyinlo , @4S Leistung and others. But to be fair, I don't think I waited as long as some others. June 17th order placed, then a July allocation. Not as bad as others, and I kept my Cobra for one more season which was important to me.

Tomorrow, OAP goes in and then valve controller. I just have to decide if I want to do the Symposium delete when I do the valve controller. So I may wait a few weeks before doing the install so I only have to open it up once.

Looks like somebody won't be sleeping tonight! Love the pic of the "landing" off the truck. Must have been great to be there. I think by tomorrow evening you'll be able to relax and enjoy a glass of bourbon (or rye) and a cuban cigar. I know I would! Your car looks great. Congratulations.

Very nice. I’m selling my 17 M2 to make room for my GT4

A little late to post but was lucky enough to pick up the car a couple of weeks ago! We got a gorgeous December day in MA so was able to drive her home instead of shipping

Congratulations on the birth of your new Porsche. Tomorrow is my day. I will be pacing the floor waiting for the call. My dealer is really pushing for a 2021 delivery so I have already signed all the paperwork. I will own the car on 12-31. So I guess that means we are inducing labor at this point. That baby is coming out soon. Haha.
