I could be wrong but....The Idea behind it is if the car is being wrapped in Matte PPF the high gloss can be wrapped the black plastic can not from what I understand.

Reasonable. I spec'd the aerokit and I knew the gloss black aerobat was over $2k more than the std aerokit. I assumed (poorly) that SD was similar in price.


xx I re-read that and realized you are including the cost of an option that you are not getting in that calculation. I am all for someone wanting it how they want it, but justifying the price because they are blocked from another option is a little misguided.

Personally, I voted yellow but am considering white also.
6 sigma with the even distribution comment - living up to your username! Great observation, looking forward to a T ”renn”bow on the streets

This may have already been posted somewhere, but I managed to not watch this video until today! I thought this was one of the more honest/real reviews of the 911 and the T...Still a few fanboy comments, but he does talk about the RAS at around 9:20 minute mark and makes some interesting comments about it... Not all positive, so @Macboy will be happy lol. But he makes the point of how this car feels different from the GTS and others with RAS

You made the right choice!! No offense to those going shark blue, but Guards Red is just so classic, it will never go out of style! I played with the idea of guards red for a while too with red seat belts... but stuck to my guns on Rubystar

Thanks, I think it going to look great. Cannot wait to see your RSN car though, that color is going to be jaw-dropping.

I've ALWAYS wanted a GR 911. Like everyone else. But when it came down to it, I love the uniqueness of Python with Lizard interior - launch colors. And my Shark Blue CGTS is an amazing color and head turner as well. Basically, it's hard to go wrong. Well, except for Ruby - JUST KIDDING @toph4242 . I may regret not getting Ruby myself. I was seriously on the fence with it.

It's all good!

Yeah, I was wrong. They are all here: https://media.porsche.com/mediakit/l...press-vehicles

I spaced it and thought it was the Gulf for a moment...

Porsche Ocala has an open allocation for a T with a freeze date of 2/22. Kicker is they want 15k ADM.
