“Happened” to check TYD this morning… ready for transport! Scheduled cp8 date was tomorrow. Nice to have it move up for once, even if only a day. Delivery date is still 6/17… I’m hoping that moves up as well, especially after seeing all the gorgeous cars being delivered lately here.

For those with delays that are wondering, BGTS but with racetex (GTS package) interior.

Oh yeah.. here are some pics 😀







Congrats! I love the carbon fiber steering wheel and transmission lever. I asked if I could do CXX carbon fiber steering wheel on my Spyder and was told no. Don't quite understand why it can't be done as I assumed it would have just been pulled from the B/CGTS 4.0 options bin. Maybe it has something to do with the trim color on the spokes of the steering wheel but those seem to be an easy swap at the factory. Oh well. I guess I'll just envy your steering wheel. Enjoy the many miles of smiles!

Thanks! I love the way the interior turned out. The exterior is Chalk. Looks different depending on the light - I love it.

After losing my first GT4 to hurricane Ida seems like I’m finally going to get GT4 number two.

6/17 is my expected delivery date too. My car is supposedly at port and awaiting a ship. Can’t wait for this thing! My delivery date briefly got bumped out 3 more weeks but that didn’t stick, luckily. Just hoping to get it with enough time to break it in before VIR track event over 4th of July!

oh and i guess I’ll state my build in case it’s useful to someone re delays etc.

GT4, steel brakes (PCCB no longer offered!?), LWBS, Bose, CarPlay, manual<3

I suspect this might be parts related?
maybe, but mine seemed to glitch a little during production and my delivery got pushed 6/17 to 7/8.. i moaned about it for a couple days then TYD said the car was en route to Emden and the total mileage trickled down finally.

don’t want to give false hope but give it a couple days and see how it sorts out before buying a panic car like I almost did haha. (I have a track day over 4th of July and was super bummed to see it might not be here in time!)

Thank you.

I thought it might be Chalk but with the lighting it was hard to tell.

Hopefully my car will look close to as nice as yours!

Mine should come in early June! I can't wait, and definitely looking forward to some local meetups.
