Default GT3RS order

Got my order in without the allocation and have a commission# and status V70. Need to add the PCCB and make some changes. Not sure about the lift and few other stuff.

The purple color is not available to order until Nov 09 2015 that leaves only 3 colors for now.

The dealer had two GT4 allocation so I think the RS allocation will come in any day now.

Trading in your 991GT3?

The RS is a track car why the need for PCCB?

Nick, pretty sure I will turn in the 3.
PCCB 410mm massive look has me hooked but the yellow color is odd with orange. I need to think this through some more. Breaking is so much smoother with PCCB. I am lost

Congrats!

I'll likely have the same debate with myself if I get an allocation. But I think yellow is a better contrast than red since red is so close on the color scale. I really wish there was another caliper color option.

Yeah - no purple and no PTS will be pretty annoying. It's like the 991 3 mess all over again!

The purple reminds me of a bad Mad Dog skid row hangover. Probably the worst color Porsche has ever offered. Had it been metallic...it might have a chance for acceptability. Different strokes I guess.

Wait, what did I miss? I thought the common rumor was that production stopped in September?

Thanks guys. As soon as we clicked on purple it came back with not available until 11/09/2015. I was surprised as well. I requested PTS and system came back with not available. He said we can work on PTS when it becomes available For now it is Oranges

What the hell are they doing over there at PAG??? Down to 3 colours now, what are they thinking??? Talking about PAG really flexing their muscle, almost dictatorship like, saying you get 3 colours only, whether you like it or not. This sucks.

i personally think that red calipers will look really odd with the orange, especially since the orange is apparently of a more red shade...

of course, that is no reason to get PCCB. It has always been simple to me, 10lbs per corner unsprung rotating mass - 40lbs unsprung rotating mass. Really no way to say that is insignificant. No brake dust and the cool look are just bonus.

I find the RS to be a paradox. Clearly it is very /most suited for the track. But if someone was going to spend most of their time on the track, at $200k, why not just get a cup car? So to me if it is going to be mainly street, then why not get PCCB? Other than money. Which I have to believe the 9k wont matter to someone spending 200k on a road toy.
