Default Ordered a 2022-23 Cayman GTS a month ago...

...and have been hoping I'll receive one in spite of Adolph Hitler Putin's war and all the other negatives in the auto industry.. This dealer is my 'normal' one, and it adds some ADM to their prices.. I then had a new key programmed for my Cayenne at a newish Porsche dealer in Chandler, AZ, about a 3/4-hour SE of my home.. They were not only friendly and efficient, but they got me in and out at least a month earlier than my 'normal' dealer could have, so while they were programming, I talked to a salesperson and 'ordered' that CGTS from them since they charge NO ADM...BUT...I'm 11th on their CGTS list.

Then I asked my 1st dealer where I am on their CGTS waiting list and discovered I'm FIRST and that he's expecting allocations this or next week!!!!!!!!!! Here's hoping he gets one for me.. I REALLY want a CGTS, even at $20K or $30K over MSRP 😥 😫 ...


And I won't 'have to' lower it, either. 😁
But altho they're larger than my last set, with the larger wheels those brake rotors still look rather small.

How can you "order" a car and be 11th on a list?!

I and all others, too, can, because it's a 2-part process--the first part is between the customer and the dealer, and the 2nd is between the dealer and the the factory.

No, it's 'natural leather' in expresso and cognac.

Except in the first part there isn't anything the dealer can sell to you.

If you are willing to pay “$20-30K” ADM for a CGTS then I suspect you’d be first on many dealers list…

Please join the waiting room or allocation discussion threads.

The GTS configurator shows the wrong brakes in the picture. They show the same brakes as the Cayman/Boxster S. The GTS has larger rotors and 6-pot front calipers. The specs are 350mm/330mm F/R for GTS and 330/299 for Cayman S (12.5% / 21.8% larger).

THAT's interesting; I hope you're correct about the configurator.

I had a brainwhiff* and 'measured' the front discs in the pic above, using Photoshop.. I estimated visually the 20" wheel diameter within the flanges and then the disc diameter, both in pixels. If my positioning of those two is accurate, the diameter of the front disc in the pic is 12.76", a whole inch short of the 13.78" (350mm) front discs in the specs.. You're right, slilley!

* Some of us have brainstorms; I have brainwhiffs.

Sorry--it's easier for me to read.. And it's 'Jeffrey', not 'dude'.
