Congrats. I'm going to make a wild guess that your new dealer inventory date will be 6/26 and it will likely show up a few days before that.

These photos are stunning, love the color. Congrats, Eduardo. Maybe those of us in Nor Cal will get an opportunity to see your car at the Rennsport Reunion.

Will do. Please send me your email via PM and I will forward you what Brad sent me. But I need you email to do so.

As I have always told readers, camera lenses & filters often do not capture the colors of a car the way the human eye does. The semi-professional shots above are very interesting in that it show a distinctive yellow tint in the 'Signal Green'. We will see if in person that 'tint' carries through, as it did in the w25 formulation of my earlier 2007 PTS 'Signal Green' 997S. I have personally never seen 22S 'Signal Green' - neither on a Porsche vehicle nor as a color sample (e.g. chip). But I am very familiar with other variations of this color as previously done by PAG - in w25 and 217 previous paint formulations. I will see the color for the first time upon arrival of the truck this next weekend. So I am waiting with great anticipation for that moment!

Interestingly, Rennlister 'MK_TT' sent me via PM the photos below of my car which he found posted at a local 'carspotter' website in Ohio. They were taken last week at the parking lot of the dealer in Beachwood. As you can see, the lenses of this particular camera doesn't capture the yellow tint in the 'Signal Green' to the same extent as the earlier semi-pro staged interior shots. So the jury is still out as to how this iteration (formulation) of 'Signal Green' looks in real 'life', at least to me.

Yes, my car will be in attendance at Rennsport V on September 25 to 27 at Laguna Seca. By the way, I want to remind all that it's not too early to finalize your ticket purchase for Rennsport. It's not so much that the event will 'sell out', but that they will FOR CERTAIN run out of 'corral space' for your Porsche if you are planning to bring it & park it in a convenient place in the 'lakebed'!



http://www.mazdaraceway.com/porsche-rennsport-reunion-v

I was able to get entrance for two, plus a corral pass, for $180 in total. So the additional ticket was only $40 extra if you get the $130 3 day pass plus corral!



If you need any personalized assistance, call Ardelle Lind at (831) 242-8210 at Laguna Seca and she will help you out with the selection of tickets for the Rennsport event.

Also, if you are coming to the area and want some recommendations for restaurants & local attractions, please see the thread I posted on this subject on the occasion of the PCA Parade in Monterey last summer:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/8084...21-2014-a.html

I will soon updated and post the information at a new thread in our forum so that those coming for either the August Historics and/or Rennsport V can easily refer to.
