Lava GTS on Order!
#33
I must confess this thread has me pretty stoked. My Lava Orange GTS build goes into body shop 06/26 and should be home mid August.
It's similar to the Op's car but has sunroof - I like the contrast of the black roof, 18 way power seats, black centerlocks, PDCC with PASM sport (lowered 20mm). Original order was PDK, but before lock switched to MT7.
I also chose badge delete. I didn't go for the rear wiper, but have nothing against it..that's a totally personal choice. I chose the PLDS in black. I think the black roof, black wheels, and black lights will look cool.
The scary thing is I have yet to see Lava Orange in real life, and every picture looks different.
I had a blue Boxster, and a black 991.1 TT, so I needed some colour in my life.
Look forward to sharing some pics mid August

after...
to be honest if LO had been available when I ordered the GTS Cabriolet I might well have ticked the box ... it will be fabulous ... the only downside is that our
brave LEOs will see you a mile off (shortly before their optic nerves overload)
IT WILL BE EPIC ... enjoy!
p.s
I saw a couple of cars on the line in Zuffenhausen a couple of weeks ago that could well have been LO .. they were AMAZING ... you wont be dissappointed

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I ordered the aero kit.
I track the car but only like 6 days/ year so I tried to balance what's important on the track with what I want for just having fun. This car is not a DD - sun fun days and whatever the weather brings track days.
Had to get some driving gloves for track days to protect the steering wheel from my sweaty death grip lol

My car was completed on June 3rd so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the wait time until delivery on the East coast? I'm hoping a month, but I realize it could be longer (certainly not likely to be shorter).

Congrats jgreer902! It'll be nice to have some Lava colored company around here. While I do like the white taillights I'm afraid that over time they may start to look a bit dated. I felt the same about the black headlights, so I went with a more traditional look and opted against those items. That doesn't mean that I don't think they are *****-cool, it just means I hope this is my 'keeper' Porsche and wanted to contain myself to just an outrageous color. LOL.

I believe (perhaps wrongly) that PCNA use the same ships as VW, so here is the latest schedule attached...

Wow! If I continue to be 2 days ahead of schedule then it looks like I might make it to Emden by the 10th, which is the cut off for the Pleiades Leader, arriving in Rhode Island on the 22nd. If not, probably arriving in RI on the 30th. Anybody with experience know how long generally a car takes from arrival port to customer delivery? It's about 170 miles from the port to my dealer. (I realize there are a lot of variables like Customs).

My previous Porsches have taken 5-7 days to get from port in R.I. to Paul Miller in NJ. Should be around the same amount of time to get to L.I. So exciting that you're running ahead of schedule!

My dealer says 1 month to east coast of Canada.. Another week to the toy store.
