I was thinking about JBM but I think most of cars will be non-metallic for awhile..i like the smooth look to the finish..
Standard...wanted as bright as possible. My tts was JBM And didn't show the swirl marks as much...and I like the hint of silver metalflake but i totally see why one would opt for black. There is no bad choice on this car.

Envious, but well done! As far as I know our PTS allocations only went to PDK orders and the next round is in the never never land for now...

Was told I couldn't switch to Touring due to PTS and December delivery. That said, I don't know if I would have.

Don't forget to drive it when you get it... here is a quote from a period article on the 2.7 Carrera... Love the fact that ending up wrapped around a tree is part of the charm. Maybe AP builds in a bit of random ESP off time.. just to keep things interesting as we continue to strive for "driver engagement"

Porsche 911 Carrera RS has a reputation as a bit of a widow maker. The combination of a 2.7 liter flat six rear-mounted engine, a five-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel-drive, and no electronic aids whatsoever gives the car a tricky handling that requires special skills to keep in check. But that ever-present danger of spinning and ending up wrapped around a tree is part of the car’s charm.

I love the chrome look and that is what I am going for.

I can't tell in the configurator which package makes the rims more chrome like. I need them to match as much as possible the window trim and chrome exhaust.

I was able to change to Touring with Sept 22 lock date without issue. I initially was going to go with the chrome trim, but went with the black finish with chalk paint, black wheels, red stitching and gauges. I really liked the chrome (with satin wheels) but think it would look good only on a darker color and I wasn't really in love with any of the colors that I thought worked. I'd really wanted a PTS car (I'm going to trade back my Irish Green PTS targa - which I love), but . . . the configurator had other ideas.

12/22 delivery (or earlier).

I just posted this on another thread, but wanted to make sure all see it:

This link to Porsche's Newsroom clearly states: "With the exception of the rear, the body of the GT3 remains unchanged in the variant with Touring Package."

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/prod...ler-14133.html

It also states: "The powertrain and chassis are identical on all 911 GT3 vehicles with manual transmission, including the variant with Touring Package."

Forgot to mention. I have a confirmed order and should receive my GT3 (with Touring Package) around the first of the year. MY SA told me that if my build was any earlier, I would not have not been able to make the change. Here's my build:

White
Touring Package
Extended Range Fuel Tank
Wheels Painted in Satin Aluminum
PCCB
Front Axle Lift System
GT Sport Manual Transmission
Fire Extinguisher
Smoking Package
LED Headlights
Floor Mats
Full Bucket Seats
Voice Control
Sport Crono Package
