If your personality is suited for it, skittles colors look great on the T. So...no cost Racing Yellow for the win.

Yes, me.
my map shows the final line in red (as completed vs grey) since may 4th. I thought it would be trucked from halifax but my sa said its probably at cn yard in montreal. I went to see him (side story, my partner got gt3 allocation september delivery) and his system showed arrival on thr 12th. This week he has had 2x trucks dialy and none with mine.

my ppf guy now has only room on the 29th so even if i get it this week it will be stored.

I have ppf jail without even having the car.. calisss de tabarnak 🤣

Kind if exhausted with the wait tbh

The PPF guy was not amused. It made his job a little harder.

If you get them, we can meet up in Stuttgart or at the Ring, I can peel them off for you
And you are right, they kinda get lost on Gentian.
I appreciate the offer but I won't be leaving the Leipzig delivery center with decals on!

This is a very tough question to answer, but as someone who owned a Gentian Blue 992 already, I am happy to provide my 2 cents:

1.) As you can see below, Gentian changes a lot depending on the light it is in. Sometimes it is electric blue (which I really liked)... Sometimes it is Purple (WHICH I LOVED)... and sometimes when its a little darker or cloudy it is Navy (which was really BORING)...
2.) Gentian for the most part held up to dirt (especially after ceramic was applied)... but like a black car does, gentian after 18 months started to show dirt and swirls more easily.
3.) IT really depends on the interior!! My interior was all black and black belts and Carrera Classic Wheels... If I had yellow Seat belts, and Some other yellow bits on the interior, or if I had red seat belts, red stitching and the fire extinguisher, I think I would have ordered Gentian again. without the color on the inside, I was ready to move on to a more POP of color in Rubystar.

I say, either go with Gentian and red belts, red seat back inserts, fire extinguisher option... or Gentian with Yellow Belts, Yellow Sport Chrono......... OTHERWISE, Id vote Yellow exterior with Yellow Seat Belts and a Black Interior
Yellow is really rare and cool. Gentian is really classy and in the right light when the deep purple comes through, it is FLAWLESS.. Tough call for sure (but get color on the inside if you go gentian)

I’d say it depends on your personality.
Yellow if you’re the outgoing, charismatic type that’s happy to stand out in a crowd.
Blue of you’re more the strong silent type that stays a little in the background, but nevertheless confident in your own skin.
I should have been a psychologist 😎

Well at least we're not alone. Frustrating to say the least. So near yet so far. My final step 9 on TYD says between 3/10-22 so I guess we're still in that window. I just hope they don't push that back now! Stay patient!

I’m in the same boat as you, but with 3 weeks left to go back and forth. Heavily leaning toward yellow at the moment. Maybe it’s because yellow was the launch color for the 991.2 T, but yellow just feels more “right” for a T.

@tourenwagen Ha, I finally had my first hot mama run in. While parked to pick up lunch, a really hot young mama pulls up next to me in a Black Cayman. What happened next? [img]graemlins/icon501.gif[/img]

Welcome to my world@tourenwagen!

But I think I can help!
In the instruction manual tucked away on page 86 in chapter 10 is a section called…
‘BEWARE OF PREDATORY WOMEN’
I found it very useful, there are lots of tips on how to handle this daily occurrence.
Before discovering this, I was constantly having to fend off extremely attractive women that tried to chat me up, it was getting really annoying.
It got so bad I was parking around the corner where nobody could me leave the car.
Things are better now👍🙏

I am from Melbourne (Australia). I placed an order for a T (and paid the deposit) on 17 December last year and am still waiting for an allocation ! !
According to my Porsche salesperson, as of last week, Porsche Cars Australia has not had a single T allocation since November last year.
I am becoming very frustrated with the delay.
When did you put your order in and also when did you receive your allocation ?
Thanks

Wow! That’s weird.
I wonder how Porsche justify that?
Is it down to the fact that there is so little demand that the homologation doesn’t make it worthwhile?
Doesn’t your dealer have a theory?

I also put Focals in my Cayman and they are fantastic. I plan on doing the same with the T when it arrives..

did you do Focals with Amp or just speakers without the Amp?

I believe that just speakers with some sound deadening pads (to reduce door panel resonance) makes it much better, but if you want Hi-Fi you need to go the full house!
