Big congrats and beautiful choice on color. Is that white or Carrera white?

Thanks for the compliments

It's just regular old white - not the Carrera White Metallic I tried to keep it simple-ish? I figure, when you buy a factory Porsche race car - it comes in white, so buying a car built by the GT team should be white. Of course I had to order the buckets. Did the "free" black aluminum dash trim. LED headlights, CarPlay, factory Nav (because I hate how you get a NAV button even if you don't option it) and the dual-zone climate control (because I hate that the standard one takes 200 clicks to bump up the fan speed). At the last minute I added the leather dash w/silver stitching.... not because I wanted the leather, but I wanted the extra alcantara on the lower dash and door panels.

Somewhere along the way, the smoking package got lost in the build. It's not on the final build sheet, and it's not in the car... oops. Really not that big of a deal.

What tires are showing up on your cars? I'm actually interested in the GTS's tires. Hoping they are Michelines.

My BGTS came with Pirelli P-Zero N1 spec. Seem to be OK in the dry, but less so in the wet. Easy to throttle steer.

Initial impressions after 2300 miles.

My Spyder came with Michelin PS4S (I spec'd "high performance summer tires" vs. the Cup2's)

Beautiful Spyder! Congrats!

Papers are signed, insurance is done, and I pick mine up all plated and ready to rip tomorrow.

These even came on time to have my sales associate John Lowe pop them in the glove compartment and ready for that first drive!

Looks fantastic! Great choice.

My Spyder on order is plain old white as well and chose that color for the same reason. Plus white is my favorite color.
