If you ask on RL, chances are someone (usually Z356) will have a photo of a Porsche in that colour. Recall that all the colours on the current approved PTS list got there because they have been accepted by PAG after customers requested them for their PTS car (which then presumably resulted in a current generation car (eg. 991) being built). Plus there are quite a few other photos of older generation cars that were either originally offered in that colour by the factory, or occasionally produced through PTS.

What colour are you interested in?

My config:
GT Silver Metallic
+standard interior w Alcantera
+full bucket seats
+front axle lift
+ext fuel tank
(no PCCB)

Delivery late fall means storage until April 2016 in eastern Pennsylvania ... same situation as with my '14 GT3.

congrats. and i love your simple config, my is similar.
that said, it's not clear if you have upgrade radio and navi. i ask bc i am torn on that one. i never use them. and if i have something that i dont use in my car, i get very annoyed.....

have them delivery to sunny ca. do a tour in the wine country or add few track days to that if you are into the track thing

As u know, this is multi-step process: initial deposit (12 months ago), now initial
config + large (10k) deposit ... trigger with final config not pulled until June/July for Sept build.

Did not commit yet to PCM/Nav but leaning towards NOT doing radio and A/C delete for resale reasons ... many cars will be tracked (like mine) but many future customers for a used RS will want radio and A/C.

Would like tracking in Ca at end of season ... if my schedule would allow.

Right now mine has radio delete, but thinking of adding it and Navi back in. The idea of no A/C after a track day for the drive home already made me add it back, ignoring the resale side of things...

No color in particular, just reviewing the new list to see what is being offered.

Correct. Thompson Autosports, active in GT3 Cup, is part of Porsche of Bucks County. Colin Thompson, son of the owner, won the national GT3 Cup championship 2014.

And just won last weekend's inaugural PWC Porsche Cup class at COTA. Kid's on a roll.

Has anyone been able to lock in a build in Ultraviolet? Dealer in Hong Kong pulled that color last week and nobody's got a clue. Build slot that needs to be locked soon and I'll have to postpone if I insist on UV... what gives????
