I've used them all. It's worth noting none of the above are in Atlanta proper. I suggest performing some level of due diligence by reading reviews, calling each to discuss your needs, get a price quote and go from there. Happy to answer any specific questions.

Thought those configuring their cars could appreciate this absolutely inspired 1 of 1 Spyder:

Surprisingly not good and gaudy. Sometimes less is more.

Thanks so much, really appreciate the recommendations. I’ll do some research on those and hopefully one of them can help me out. Thanks again!

It is. And just like everyone has said before, pictures just cannot do it justice. It looks nothing like anything I've seen in pictures or on YouTube. In the sun it's just a jaw-dropping green. We pulled into the dealership, sun blazing away, and my girlfriend points to it says, "There's you car". I laughed and said "no, I wish. That's a paint to sample. Mine is gray-green".

Now, in the shade, it's as gray as gray can be. lol 😂

I'll try to get better pictures, but I don't think it's possible. It's just not photogenic. You have to see it in person.

Totally agree, i got to see a Cayman in the Aventurine green in the sun and it was stunning. I wish they ofered it as a standard color choice for the GT4 i'd be all over it.

Hi everyone…. Just picked mine up and now up to 20 miles on the clock

Black all round for me

I can’t believe how mechanical it feels (in a great way). My last new one was a 996 GT3 in 2005, so it’s been a while

It makes my previous BMW M2C DCT feel soft and digital versus analogue feel

Great experience from my local dealer too with no mark up or extras to pay

Cheers

Rich

My Spyder was completed on 5/27 and has been sitting at port Emden for a month. Fingers crossed she makes it onto the Siem Aristotle this week, schedule to depart for Davisville on 6/7.

Officially in the Waiting Room!

Received an allocation (CGTS MT) last week and just confirmed my order (V200) - Here's mine. Still awaiting official estimated delivery date, but am told it should be late October/early November, approximately a year from when I first walked into the dealer and placed a deposit. Despite missing out on my original colour of choice (Lava Orange), I feel that this is a much more informed configuration after hanging out on Rennlist for 7 months! I realise that my choice of CF steering wheel and 18-way seats may not be to everyone's taste, but I do love that every configuration is one's own!

Configuring a new Porsche reminds of the statistical improbability that a randomly shuffled deck of cards has ever been duplicated.
"The chances that anyone has ever shuffled a pack of cards (fairly) configured a Porsche in the same way twice in the history of the world, or ever will again, are infinitesimally small. The number of possible ways to order a pack of 52 cards Porsche 718 is ’52!’ (“52 factorial”) which means multiplying 52 by 51 by 50… all the way down to 1. The number you get at the end is 8×10^67 (8 with 67 ‘0’s after it), essentially meaning that a randomly shuffled deck a newly configured Porsche has never been seen before and will never be seen again. So next time you shuffle a deck buy a Porsche, you should feel pretty special for holding something so unique!"
Now I just have to hang tight for (another) 5 months!

You are right, being that there are so many options! I know Porsche only allows a maximum of two of the same exact builds of 911 per year, though i'm not sure if that carries through to its other models or not.
