Thanks for clearing that up. But I still assume that option is not available on the GTS correct?

Yes, red leather.

(Don't do red gauges though -- you know better than that, right?)

Hopefully we're talking about two different things, but I'll try and clear it up.

You said "no deviated stitching on GTS" which is correct.

I countered with "but on the Black/Garnet interior, "deviated" stitching on the black comes standard," meaning all the stitching on the black leather parts is red, just like on the GT package, and just like as shown in your first configurator picture and in my subsequent photo of an interior. So it's not technically "deviated" if by that we mean "ordered specially to be different than standard," but it IS "deviated" if we mean "contrasted".

So just to clarify: On a Black/Garnet GTS, the standard stitching (only way you can get it) is red. This shows up as contrast stitching on all the black parts, and just red-on-red stitching on all the red parts.

Didn't mean to go all pedantic but your last post above sounds like you don't realize that you will be getting the red stitching (but no red tach) on your GTS if you order a black/garnet interior.

Cheers!

I probably didn't express myself clearly. I totally understood what you meant. I do know that there will be red stitching on the black leather part of my interior. Thanks for clarifying anyways
