Anybody know for sure if the GT3 will be on display at NYC Auto Show?

I figure that too but I haven't gotten a definitive answer from Porsche peeps either. They say it should be there as well. Thinking about flying over to the show for the day. Really want to see GR in person on this car. I promised myself this would be my car of colour (all have been black, grey, silver or white). I find myself leaning towards white if no PTS...but GR is looking sweet too.

^^^ Totally wrong. PDLS is NOT standard and you can get Black LEDs as option XEY.
Let's review:
Standard Lights-Bi-Xenon with integrated 4-point LED daytime running lights, dynamic range adjustment and headlight cleaning system. They don't change angle (swivel) in corners=NOT PDLS
3 light options:
code 603- PDLS with Grey Bezel and some black parts and some silver parts. They swivel in the corners.
code 602-LED
code XEY- Black LED
991.2 GT3 with Black LED:

Configurator does not show the stripe delete option on the LWBS, which I thought AP stated was "optional."
I guess we will wait and see if the configurator gets updated or these options never made it to reality.
Or, someone in the know says you can order these options directly from the dealer with the proper code even IF the configurator does not illustrate that.

I think that people are just a bit icked by Porsche's lousy non-documentation and/or by their probable refusal to give you black headlights unless you upgrade to LEDs now (*).

The bi-xenon black headlights will come eventually. They always do.
Same drama last time about LED's. They weren't available in black right away and orders were locking.

CarAdvice Australian article, interview with Porsche Australia PR and Motorsport Director (interesting that general PR and Motorsport Director is the same role). Article gives insight into initial sales PDK vs Manual and hints at production run.

It'll be interesting to see the North American results. I'm not sure whether it was this thread or the allocations thread or something else but one of the dealer folks mentioned that most of their orders were for a manual.
I was reading comments about this somewhere else (Jalopnik maybe?) and there seems to be a lot of support for the idea that Europeans buy many more manuals for their everyday drivers so they're quite happy having the "fastest" option for their performance cars while here in North America we're starved for a more immersive driving experience in anything else so we want that in our fun cars.

I'm confused then... in the 'Standard Equipment' section under 'Lighting Systems' it states... "Bi-Xenon headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)"

This RS is pts absolute red . It's a pity but guards red really does have that orangey look to it.
