Thanks! GT3 was a PDK but my 991.2 GT3 was a manual. I really like the PDK - it’s thunderous, snappy, and the paddles are fun. I don’t miss the manual and I’d rather have the 7th gear for cruising.

Looks like a dark olive.
The hardest decision on this car is colour. It looks great in everything.

My dealer called to tell me the mag wheels are a requirement right now, there is a stop order on the std wheels. I believe the order has locked or will lock soon. No PTS either. They are telling me an August delivery.

Stop order on standard wheels??!!

Good grief, that’s crazy. Porsche really needs to get their act together.

Do you have an allocation or is this a possible allocation?

Did you already have a V200+ order and the stnd wheel was removed?

If this is a July build and hadn’t been confirmed PTS months ago, then yes not available.

We should see less than 1500 cars for NA.
VIN ends in 663, 6/19 production starts, 7/17 completion. Love seeing all of these amazing builds!

thanks! Yeah, dark olive, cognac stitching, satin neodyme.

I have to say the color is incredible. Very difficult to capture in pictures. I was a little scared but very happy with result!

Mine arrived too, in NL. So happy with the result. I love how most of you guys went even more adventurous than I did. The car really suits a lot of combinations well.

Friday of last week (er, yesterday lol), mine went from completing 6/11 to 6/10, so I guess I find out Monday. (WP w/ stripe, pccb, lwbs, bose, PDLS, stitching)

@Spyder_NL Loving those blue wheels! Well done.

Congratulations, and thanks! Yes, the wheels are even better in real life. I wanted to do an homage to the 2.7 RS, but had to have the stripe and WP too. It matches well with the blue stickers (which are very dark irl) and deep sea blue seatbelts too. The carbon parts (like the 3rd brake light) are stunning in the sun. Fair warning which has been discussed before I think is that the arctic grey interior parts (seat inserts) have a blue hue in the grey as well. It’s fine with my car, but when ordering a red car, I would suggest going for the red interior as well.

And when playing around with the roof, I could totally see myself using just the Bimini top too. Works very well.
