Common misconception that the water is injected into the internal combustion engine. It is in the BMW M4 GTS. But in the GT2RS, it's just sprayed onto the outside of the intercoolers - totally external to the engine (and even the intercoolers)...

Glad to hear it's being sprayed on the outside of the intercooler. If that's the case, distilled water should be a non-issue.

Re: Distilled water - Guess Porsche will have a product we can buy to make sure we have some "rated" water ready after spirited driving and/or track days. Otherwise you might hear: "Sorry that your GT2 engine expired coming out of Eau Rouge. Unfortunately Porsche HQ has declined the warranty claim citing that IC tank was partially filled with non-rated water."

I would think the way forward would be to buy one of those dioionizer systems which removes all the minerals that way you could just hook it up to a hose and get your dioinized water as much as you need. They are marketed for rinsing you car. I have no idea how effective they are, but short of ordering medical grade purified water, I don’t know that there are standards for such things.

But the problem, you see, is that the same people who "have no taste or poor taste" will be participating in any such poll.

Porsche should have a "surprise me" option for those that can't decide for themselves or afford to pay their decorator to choose. It would be a -$10k discount BUT you might get an oddball PTS color with strange CXX options...oh so rare.
