Interesting...Just came back from my dealer and I have a 12/06/2013 build date and I have the front lift option which the system said is available after September.

Congrats....The wait is a killer. Having this much time has caused me to change my specs several times already as more information/pictures become available. As of now, I have 2 possible combos I am considering but colour is still the toughest decision to be made. Thankfully I have until November to lock in my specs.

Hope your wait isn't too painful...

Totally. I’m usually pretty decisive on paint colour but I’m really torn between black & white on this car. I put the build in as Basalt but have until late October to beat myself up over it.

Owned a basalt 996Cab. Nice looking but a pain to keep clean. Needed a rub down each day to make it look presentable.

I understand that AP is very high on Rhodium Silver.

Yeah, Black is always a pain to keep clean but I think I’m willing to deal with it. Rhodium is too blue for my taste. I’ve considered GT Silver, but in the end I’m down to black or white.

I just saw this video posted today on RT:

Black isn't a color, it's a hobby. I'm ordering white when my turn arrives...

Yes I joined the list a few weeks ago, late to the party but I'm in no rush. I contemplated an earlier 3.8 but I like the paddle shifters so much I decided just to get one of the new 991's.
See you at Miller next week...

SA just called me and wants me to come in and configure the car. I might get bumped up the list but I'm hoping the NA sports seats are available in the new year so might be worth holding off until then.

I did get bumped up the list I have a January 2014 build date now so it will be delivered early spring...perfect. My son came to the dealer and talked me out of white and into Agate Grey. It was my second and most stealthy choice...

Congrats Peter, What's your Spec ??

I just surrendered my #1 spot yesterday so I can do PTS and hopefully the sports buckets would be an option by then.
