Thanks everyone! More great information and advice. Very helpful for where I am in the process.

Totally agree on the chalk looking edgier, and I think it goes well with the matte finish of the GTS front bumper detail/other black bits on the car. But I really do love the classier look of the green. Choices choices…

As for the fire extinguisher recommendation, I totally agree that they look awesome and are short money. I just wonder if they fit the ethos of a GTS with leather seats. In a GT4 with carbon buckets, clearly a great fit. Just wonder if it works with a GTS without buckets.

FE works in any Porsche. Period.

Factory FE is cost effective if you plan on doing a DE with a region that requires one.

It definitely works. It was an option in the 997 GT3 with standard seats and looked great in there too.

I love green so I'm biased, but I like as another poster said having a color you couldn't get on a GT4. It's classy and understated for the GTS. As for the fire extinguisher I think that would look real stupid in a GTS. We're talking about a car with leather and hopefully ventilated seats as you said.

Are allocations ending soon for the Cayman GTS 4.0? Don’t want the Cayman EV.

No one knows the answer to this yet, you should act fast if you want to get one

rumor has it that 2025 will either be the last year or the second to last year. However with allocations barely trickling in i'd say if you want a new one jump on waitlists now rather than wait. Even if you arent in a position to buy one i recommend getting on some waitlists. Chances are it will be a few months before you snag the allocation and then you have to wait 4-6 months for delivery anyways which gives you almost a year to get finances in order.
