Thanks man! Good to hear from you, assume you ended up getting your GT3 eventually... I'm sure I don't need to ask how it is.

If you guys are still running track days I'm going to make sure I find time to come out a few times next summer...

Yes - GT3 is in hand finally and enjoying it! Would be great to get you out to the track so will definitely have to plan on that!

Thanks Larry. Here are a couple real world pics (via Photoshop) estimating Sapphire Blue on a GTS coupe... pics courtesy of Vetsky, many thanks owed his way.

did you think about PCCB?

Are you planning to tracking it?

I'm already way, way over budget on my build... PCCB would be nice and all but for the 1 or 2 track days a year I'll be lucky to get to seems like overkill.

you and me both buddy!

actually I would consider PCCB as a good option even if you dont track it (in fact many that do track prefer not to have PCCB)

Since I am not that much of an audiophile (in the car at least) I traded Burmeister for Bose and ticked the PCCB box...

I love your build spec, SPASM and aerokit cup ... the car will be f**king awesome

Nope I like the body color roof on a Sapphire Blue car... to me the dark roof works best on white or black.

I am going to be the voice of dissent on the interior metal bits in exterior color. While it certainly is striking, I find it too loud and not live able with in the longer term (ie novelty will wear off). How about a nice brushed aluminium or carbon finer trim instead?

Another thought to bring exterior color inside.... Deviated stitching in blue? Might be prettier.

Can't do deviating stitching other than the gts package silver or red with the GTS. Already asked Melissa with Porsche exclusive and many others have as well.

Its subjective; I had the interior painted on my Cobalt Blue 7.1 GT3, never regretted it once, its something unique, and not another "me too" Audi/BMW/MB/Lexus faux CF or brushed metal finish ... if I had been able to spec my MB GT3 I would have done it too ... narrowly missed a Riviera Blue GT3 with trim and ctr console painted exterior ... goregous.

But again its all subjective, you could not pay me to take a car with a brown interior or wood trim ... YMMV
