I felt sorry for the 991T next to the green beast.
I can remember making fun of the latest vette; how they managed to slap a piece of plastic or trim piece every square inch of the car. Porsche isn't there yet, but dang, this car has a LOT going on. Getting so busy. Regardless, I'm frothing at the mouth to get mine and I'll make sure it's in an obnoxious color so i can show off the 2 dozen scoops, cut-outs and contrasting trim pieces.

But I draw the line at WP. Plus, then I can't show off the hood ducts!

From what I have heard - no PTS on any of the 991 models.... ever. Porsche has gotten themselves in over their head and PTS capacity is overwhelmed.

I was leaving the show by the Jeep display outside at noon when the GT2RS rolled in off the street.

Very interesting. I am torn with my allocation. I love green but am not in love with the Lizard Green.

Curious. GTS models are all available in PTS for $8k bump.

Was there yestersay. I had the opportunity to see car up close and personal after showing them a screen shot of v200 status. Had a nice chat with a gent named Frank W. who showed me the car. They're happy to show the car up close and personal all week provided you can prove you have one coming. I did notice that Lizard green was very close to the honda civic green. I'll echo the sentiments that the lighting made it near impossible to gauge the color.

In the flesh it looks a lot deeper than in photos, not at all washed out.

Posted this in another thread but this pic illustrates pretty close to how it looked in real life, to me at least.

I didn't care for the contrast with WP
