Welcome back Dude, second time around is always better. I'm sure the grin is twice as long as your first. A big congrats is warranted.

The Dude is back in town , cool, good move Mike and leave the nannies on for the fun to come!

Dude-

I had a purchased price of MSRP.

Thanks buddy. Yeah, that car was my build. They offered me 399K for my own build. Funny but understandable.


Yup. Car is coming back tomorrow from Tint, Radar and Xpel ultimate. Will definitely post some pictures.



Nate, funny you said that. In back of my mind, i was afraid once the demand went out of control, I may lose the allocation. Who am I to prevent them from making 150K of pure profit on the next buyer. Its business and thats how it goes. I'm still convinced that if you are on the list, you will eventually get one. Remember the 2014 GT3? its the same hype. More allocation will trickle down and it will be a LITTLE short of demand. Porsche will not make it a lot short of demand. There's money on the table and they don't want to see it go to competitors.


I always felt the cars performance was well beyond its price tag. However, the interior without some options did not do the car any justice. My 2014 had some options but it didn't feel special to me. The drive was fantastic but there was a disconnect with my interior. On the this build, I added:
Red Chrono, Fire extinguisher, Carbon trims, black rims, more red stitching and color coordinate some decals that I ordered. I basically made the interior darker and allow more red to stand out. Same with the exterior, the black rims exposed the red calipers and making the car look more raw. Red calipers, Red tail lights, belts and interior trim are perfect now without going overboard with Red Dash. It only cost 3-4k more but its worth it. If I didn't do it now, I would have done it at a later date thru aftermarket comp.
Its like dating, the first girl had a perfect body but a so so face. This time around she's perfect but she cost me more.

I wouldn't have found it funny, personally I would've been pissed, theres a difference, or at least there should be with being a franchised dealer and a car "broker"

Nate,
I feel your pain...
I had a deposit at their Jersy dealership at MSRP. When allocations appeared they changed the deal to MSRP + big premium...I reported them to PCNA, FWIW.
I bought/referred +six $$$ cars from them in last two years...never again.

Which Jersey dealership is affiliate with MMC? Princeton?

Great story and I love the decisions made...love the color set up and yes, the red clamps set that theme off perfectly...

C2Spin

Very nice build, love the contrast of the dark and red theme you've got going on. Always satisfying to get what you want in the end. Best of luck with your new ride!

I know yellow tells everyone youve got PCCBs, but I think gold or red is a better color, the red calipers on your car look awesome!
