Eduardo doesn't know. I guess 'Crayon' sounded better
than the German word for 'chalk' - 'Kreide'.

The rumor I read here on Rennlist not that long ago is
that the PTS window for the .2 991 gt3 will not open
until sometime in 2018. And even then, the chances
of landing one of the limited PTS slots will be extremely
difficult to get...if we go by our recent experiences with
PTS on the .1 991 gt3, .1 991 gt3 RS & the 911R.
Porsche has simply not kept up with the higher demand
for this increasingly desirable option. And the dealers
have learned to play games with PTS allocations now
that PCNA looks the other way (rather than punish)
at 'market price adjustments'. Combined with limited
allocations & the preferential treatment given to 918
VIPs, I am afraid that PTS will become increasingly
out-of-reach for the majority of 'regular' Porsche
customers.

Thus, this is the principal reason why I am doubtful
I'll get rid of my 'Signal Green' .1 991 gt3 regardless
the improvements just announced on the .2 version.
I don't believe I'll be able to replace it with another
PTS .2 991 gt3! And to me PTS has special significance
which will be hard be without on any future Porsche
custom order purchase.

As an admission to the reality that PTS will be difficult
to get on this new model, Porsche has made the decision
(wisely) to increase the 'special color' palette on the .2 991
gt3. So we will have, for example, 'Miami Blue' & 'Chalk'
added to the 'usual suspects'. Still, the best thing about
the 'True' PTS program at PAG is the wide diversity of colors
that can be ordered via the program. Even back in 2015,
when we last published the approved PTS list before it was
made 'confidential', the choices were pretty broad:

And it is now, in 2017, even longer...five pages in total!



There is no substitute for such a freedom of choice
in paint color for this special Porsche model!

Hopefully the audio is just bad. Otherwise Sharkwerks will be busy.

Haha it might be time for an update on the 991.2 GT3 rumor video!

Buddhamonk

my configuration is done. Just gotta wait for my allocation at this point

it's almost a stripper if it wasn't for the lift kit

That can't be what the car really sounds like! Doesn't someone have to sign off on this? Who was OK with that video going live? :X

ktrainman

Can't say I care for the graphics on the seats, can that be deleted?

bronson7

I think Rob is toying around with the sound on that video. It sounds terrible. You're not going to convince me Rob.

shizzle

totally agree, hopefully they add a delete option. having to do cxx to remove that is gonna suck royally.

robmypro

Here's another video of a mule. I think this is what it sounds like.

robmypro

Damn you Bronson. I can never get away with anything.

Ddesimone17

My dealer told me today the stripes can be deleted
Cxx option

robmypro

I guess all that top end metal eating itself had a nice ring to it.

robmypro

The strange thing is, the rest of that video is well done. Hard to argue it was bad audio. But time will tell.

Not sure if this has been mentioned regarding the LWBS, but it looks like they only come with the Porsche crest embossed on the headrest, and Porsche is no longer stitching the model designation onto them. I wonder if that's to alleviate production capacity. It would allow them to crank out as many seats as possible for the models that will eventually get it, without getting into a situation where they've made too many with, say, "GT3" stitching, when they might need more with "GT3 RS" stitching instead, potentially leading to the same kind of delay/stop production we saw at the end of 2015 with these same seats.

Though given that Porsche operates with JIT, maybe I'm reading too much into this...

I wish I could cancel my C2S now, what a car!
