I also called 1-800-PORSCHE around an hour ago. Very nice customer service rep looked into this and she let me know a ticket was created. She reiterated 5-7 business days.
Maybe a total of 10 minutes on the phone.

My car arrived at the dealership today. My SA said they needed a couple of days to get it ready and then I could come in and pick it up, so hopefully Monday or Tuesday I'll have it on the road.

People with popping colors - have you got sick of it after a certain amount of time?
Some background: for the last three months, I've been obsessing with configuring my '23 Spyder (and I have two more months to do it), changing my mind about things at least once a week.
I've got the interior nailed down quickly, so it's mainly about the exterior and wheels' colors.
I have never owned a car for more than two years, and after seeing a Shark Blue GT4 at the dealership, I really liked it -
but I fear that a popping color like blue, green, etc. will get old after a certain amount of time, while a "classic" color like GT Silver or CWM while being obviously more boring, won't.
I am seeking opinions and advice from people who have held special cars for long period of times.

As for me, I went with Gentian Blue, and it is better than I expected. I thought it might be too purple or dark, but it is a perfect blue (for me).

@fxmixer I am very interested in your RBS BGTS! If I get an allocation, I was pondering the same exterior color. Do you mind sharing your build code?

Oh, your Chalk GT4 is arriving exactly as imaged, and adding a black wing was not a configurator option (though it should have been). Im pretty sure you're going to like it in person, but if it were me, I'd raise one hell of a stink with my dealer when it arrives... "WTF, why is my wing black?!!"
Ask what sort of compensation you can get by living with the tragic mistake - doesn't hurt to try
EDIT: you 100% need to get healthy compensation back for this error, as no GT4, to the best of my knowledge can be ordered this way from the factory, and you can never revert the car back to "stock form" - this will diminish the value of your car before it even roles off the lot. I wouldn't wait a single minute to bring this up to your SA, and personally, I'd make sure it was corrected before you take delivery.

Dealer: Oh, so sorry about that. We don't know how that could've even happened. We completely understand that you hate the car as it is currently configured and to that we reply with some good news. There's another guy down the street who absolutely loves the car exactly the way it is and he is going to buy it from us for more than you offered. So you are off the hook. You should probably run out and try and gobble up one of the last remaining allocations so your dreams can be realized and you get the exact car you want. We as a Porsche dealer wouldn't want to put you into anything you didn't like."
