Thanks for the kind words. Can't accurately describe the feeling of laying eyes on it for the first time.. a bit odd after a 19 month wait, and needed time to process before realizing how awesome it actually was!

Looks are subjective of course, but for me not all colors are truly worthy of PTS with the cost and time commitment and all that.

This GT4 IS WORTHY lol.

I really do love it, arguably my favorite PTS 718 I've ever seen. Enjoy!

Maybe damaged in shipment and being fixed, maybe missing the Bose amp. Maybe Porsche just being Porsche. The good news is with all of the delays along the way I'm pretty numb to more delays. Kind of amusing that I already have signed paperwork and started paying for a car I've never seen in person. Hopefully they got the spec right I guess? I see all of the new names in here with allocations, and I am excited for them, but also know it is likely they will face many delays by the time it is over just like us. That takes a bit of time to get used to. Best to look at TYD as VERY loose dates and more for entertainment while you wait. The hard part is done. Getting that allocation is the hard part. Now just sit back with a glass of bourbon and know that eventually your baby will be here.

Bad pic, but 1500 miles in and this thing is everything I wanted it to be and more. Flashed MIB so I could use Android Auto and the only issue I had with it was gone! Just need winter tires now...

What milestone are you at in TYD? Kinda curious. Mine is showing port processing and it claims it still has another week to go before it hits the transport to dealer milestone.

I am at Port Processing and show 0 days until dealer arrival. Scary stuff at the moment when I have my PEC appt locked in, Glistening Perfection locked in under the group buy to do the ceramic and ppf, plane tickets locked in.

Here's a few.

Super dirty at work.

First stop on the road trip back home.
Right after delivery during golden hour.

At the dealership taking delivery.

These seats are so good.

That Ruby Star looks amazing. That color has really grown on me the last few months.

TYD just showed our GT4 got on the SFL COMPOSER a week earlier than estimated. Don't know what to think as it may update next week with it still in port. Anyone else get on the sfl composer? Is this real??
