it feels like PTS has been somewhat hard to come by on a T. I’m having some FOMO clouding my decision here.

Any advice?
wow. Olive green, gulf blue or oak green metallic if it were me. But just do you, and just go for it, YOLO!

Thanks for the sharing your thoughts (and the PMs) - it’s much appreciated. I had originally decided on Oak Green Metallic, but am now closer to deciding on Dark Olive Metallic (pretty subtle compared to many of the louder expressive colors many of you chimed in with).
it certainly is proving to be a tough decision and looking through photos is making it even harder at this point.

I’m fairly sure I’m going to go through with the PTS as I intend to keep this one for a while. Thanks all. Will post updates!

Finally out of prod! Lost the tire lottery but super stoked on how this build turned out considering I still haven't seen an IGM 992 in person. My plan is to wrap mirror caps in gloss black when I go for PPF and then maybe PC the wheels gloss black as well unless the titanium finish grows on me. Onwards!!

I actually love my build, just want a manual and better seats so it will look similar. I plan to take it slow so we have endless opportunities to test every performance part in isolation and get more data in a consistent fashion. We're excited for it!

I think the dealer linked it to my account or I got a request to add the build to my app. At any rate, under discover more steps, it shows every step with estimated dates. You can also try on a browser via a computer.

Yep- I can track my build in the browser just not in the app. Weird.

TYD is borderline useless. Even if it's accurate for you, you won't know since it's so horribly variable and frequently inaccurate across users. But your dealer should be able to fix the glitch for you.

I likely have driven your car as I started my automotive career in ‘97 at Brumos as the Porsche inventory manager. I coordinated reconditioning of pre-owned, handled accessories and clean up of new, & set up the lot and showroom. Did it for two years and then moved in to service. Unfortunately nobody wanted a sticker from me after driving their car… It was an unreal experience working with everyone including Hurley and Snodgrass. Went to tons of races drove everything imaginable including a number of the Brumos Collection cars. I was in my early 20s and didn’t fully realize how unique that whole particular time was until every job after turned out to be dull as dishwater by comparison.

Whomever ordered this, you did an awesome job: Buy used Porsche 911 Carrera T at Porsche Greensboro Minimal options, but the right ones (for me).

Porsche Greensboro has been sitting on that one for a while.

Very well written

Got my pictures this morning. Very excited even though I lost the tire lottery with the Pirellis.

Well written indeed. PTS should be an expression of love. It is how you want YOUR Porsche to look.
Others are likely to disagree. A colleague has bet that our mint green car will be wrapped in a more subtle shade within six months.
No matter, the most important, maybe the only important, critic of how your car looks is you.

Just out of curiosity, who here has a PTS T (on order or on the ground)? And what color?
