anyone with an end of 2018 build (mine is september build) tried for PTS and if so what were the results. My SA is checking but thinks it might push it out past end of 2018 and who knows if they will still be building them. Not trying to start that debate again.

Thanks

Maybe Ed can chime in-- but I was under the impression that pretty much all PTS requests will be honored?

Great news you finally got a build spot!
You really deserve one for all the bs you endured.
Let me know your spec.
Now the wait...

 

Thanks Phil. Now have to decide if PTS or not.

Any new on your car.

You mean news on my carS?
Will pm you.
Stay warm, Spring is coming.

 

You have me intrigued.

Spring aint coming fast enough here.

 

Your build is what I wanted but no PTS for touring in December - we will have twins !

Would love tourist delivery. However, it is also highly allocated and no slots remain per my dealer. Would think the guys that pony up 190K for a custom Porsche would be able to get it. BUMMER

 

 

Wondering if my car is on the same ship as my car was done Dec 22nd. Delivery to the dealer was first week of Fed last time I checked...hmmm

 

 

 

North Houston...guess our cars are shipmates.

 

(STG saw I had posted these in the 991 forum and suggested they should be posted in this thread too).

While at the dealership this morning, I saw a PTS GT3 with a color that was unfamiliar to me. It is paint code 7A1, Gray Black, which has a different tone from Slate Gray. Apparently it was originally used on the 997 GT3-RS, the one with the red-checker striping. mirrors, and wheels. I always liked the look of that a lot but never realized what the base color was.

Anyway, here is a little eye candy showing off Gray Black. It is non-metallic and notably darker than Graphite Gray. Its hue is different from Slate Gray according to the side-by-side comparison I found posted by Z356 in another thread (shown at the end). The red wheel accents work nicely too.





Comparison: Gray Black on the GT3-RS at the left.

 

^^^^^^WOW! That is THE best color I've seen on a Porsche yet. I really want that one in metallic. Then I'd do a matte PPF wrap.
