this is my first official post since joining the forum after following pretty much every thread for the past several months with the typical gt3 fanaticism, but the fact that you were able to get a PTS with aqua has compelled me enough to end the silence! how were you able to order it?! will you please give details? had you placed an order for a 2014 model that got pushed back? was it a 2015 model that you placed a very early order for?? how?!?!?!

aqua is my favorite color, but I was told it wasn't possible to order. not just because i was "beyond the PTS time period" as orders were wrapping up, but because it was one of the officially rejected PTS options (see https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...ly-2014-a.html). i ended up ordering GT silver, but would still be very interested in knowing how you were able to order aqua. congrats on an absolutely stunning color choice!!!

I'm sure that is Sapphire. Liked that color but loved Aqua...

Thanks Sam. I actually went to Plano HS back when there was only one... Then my final 2 years in the 2nd HS there. Dad still lives in Richardson; was visiting last week.

Hey Mooty! How's life? I've actually always had one or more P cars in the garage, I just haven't posted or read rennlist in a long time. I already have a Macan and a 991S Cab.

What are you driving now?

Good question. I actually ordered back in 2013 a PTS car, then I was told that I was outside the PTS window so I had to order a standard color. Then the fires happened and production stopped. Finally I got a call from PCNA in the spring telling me I had moved to 2015 production so I asked to be put in the PTS window and they were kind enough to accommodate my request. It actually slowed my car down a bit but I think it will be worth it.

ps. GT Silver was very high on my list as well, beautiful color imo.

Bigger difference between Sapphire and Aqua than I thought.

I like the depth and darker Aqua much better!

Wow. Stunning!!! What a color. Looks great.

Noticed that you got the red stitching and carbon fiber.

Enjoy.
