My guess is Stone or Fashion Gray PTS?
Looks great.

Thanks. I think it looks great - especially with the RS wheels (which are on my car - en route for delivery next week).

I'm not sure why I thought it was Chalk.

Officially out of the waiting room.....it's been a pleasure.

Will post more pics once detailed next week.
This thin is effortlessly quick, the RWS make it feel really nimble too. It feels completely different to my outgoing GTS. Going miss the old growl though.

It's defiantly Fashion as per the owner's words on it in another thread. And Fashion, Chalk and Sport Classic really tend to blur together pretty well when outside. Pics of all of them seem to be able to look like another.

Do a review of old vs new! How long did you have to wait for your GTS?

If you don't mind, would love to see the engine bay and see how the cover looks. Beautiful car buddy.

Initially ordered a C4s in October due in march, but changed the order probably November when GTS announced.

Ive only managed 30 miles from dealership so not much to compare yet. I came from a 4GTS which I only had since October whilst waiting for this one so I'm far from experienced GTS owner. The old GTS definitely felt a little more raw, steering always felt a bit harder. Loved the sound of the old NA.

The new is rwd only but also has power steering plus and RWS. No glass roof either. Straight away you can feel the difference, feels a different car, feels more nimble even lighter. Very well put together machine. It's effortlessly quick, speed on tap straight away and lots of it. Obviously not pushing it at all yet but believe me it really shifts.

It clearly sounds different and I'm sure those who've been lucky enough to have had both .1 & .2 will initially miss the fantastic growling of the old 3.8 but at the end of the day there are worse problems in life. We a a lucky bunch to be able to experience either variant of any 911 old or new, I for one can live with that thought.

I'll post some better pics and thoughts later in the week after it's been detailed. Either way I'm going to enjoy it.

Yep. Fashion Grey. It's actually more "lively" than the pic suggests. Hard to capture in photos, which tend to make it look quite dull. This is a bit of an more accurate representation of the colour (at least to my eyes)…
