Someone is going to buy it, wrap it in Lizard Green or Black and switch the soft top to black.

That is really hard to believe!
Let’s take a guess;
* buyer has deep pockets & a trophy wife
• she pestered him do death wanting a 911
* so he gives in, “Tell u what, quite bugging me & I’ll get u one for Christmas”
* he gives her a Xmas 911
* she drives it once to lunch with friends
* they laugh her away from the table
* she leaves & the car is for sale
Any other scenarios?

* Customer asks dealer to add the optional LSD to his order
* Dealer takes the request a bit too literally

With sooooo many nearly new 911s being bought to flip these days there seems to be a "Who can get the most outrageous spec" game ongoing. Look how many GT3s (all versions) end up on BAT with absolute minimal miles. This is what's beginning to turn me off buying a new one. The current state of getting a new 911 is a status symbol to some. Get allocation, outrageous spec, flip it, repeat. This is reminiscent of Ferrari in the early 2000s.

This is exactly why I stopped looking at GT3s or anything new. Lost my appetite for both.

There are more manual GT3s on the market then C2S/GTS and the GT3 market just keeps climbing to ridiculous levels. The Manual Carrera T with buckets and rear seat delete is as rare as you can get.

I'll just keep building my C2S into the RWD manual turbocharged 911 I always wanted, and the market can keep fighting over clown car specs and the tulip level over saturated GT3 market.

Red-Green Color Blindness - All About Vision

There can be no other explanation....

Also, what shade of silver is that?

IF you could get it for the right price… wait for some salvage black front and back BLACK seats, leave the green dash and door panels, replace the red belts and red top and imo this would be a pretty sweet and unique GTS! Interior components are fairly easy to change out and, if you wait for salvage parts, cost is pretty reasonable.

All it needs are some pasha red seat inserts, Singer wheels and a interesting story in Panorama to make you all change your mind and fall in love. Did anyone see the latest Galpin 930 Turbo slantnose “Radwood”. You all just don’t know what cool or “Rad” is yet. 30 years from now I bet it pops up in a 3d hologram personal entertainment device and gets neuralinked about. I think it’s bitchen as I’m not old enough to understand groovy. We could be looking at the most underestimated silver Porsche targa ever.

Red top is fine.
Green interior is the total miss here.

Agree...separately, with more neutral colors, the red top or green interior would be fine. I actually like the green interior. But not with a red top and seatbelts.

Swing and a miss for sure!
