Default 992 GTS Order Placed - MY 1ST PORSCHE!

It's official - I was fortunate enough to get a GTS allocation (RWD Coupe) and place the order today with Main Line Porsche out of the Philly Region. Spec dialed in, buyers order signed, deposit paid! I've been working with a rep there for over a year and have been very impressed with their team. It's been a great experience! My goal was a Luxe Daily vibe and after about 100 edits in the configurator I think this is IT (for me). The NEXT car will be a GT3 and that will be the full-on aggressive spec with carbon buckets and manual.

Here is my build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNTCK3G4



TRACKING ORDER STATUS!

Good looking spec. Of course, I am biased.



Not sure that I would bother with a GT3 having a GTS in the garage. You’ve done well. See you around the Philly suburbs. 👍

Love it - just ordered mine last week and I must say, you picked the right color

I'm originally from NJ (moved around a lot as a kid and lived in NY and Philly as well), currently in Tokyo - dealer told me I'll have the first Aventurine Green GTS in Japan when it arrives sometime next year.

Congratulations, they are a good group. I live about 2 miles from them.

Great looking Spec.. I've just ordered something very similar (same colour, wheels, interior) but on a standard Carrera, although I can switch my order to a Carrera T if and when it is announced.

Detansinn, your Insta posts were partly what steered me towards Aventurine too!

Looks fantastic. And that's my dealer. They were great. I give the over/under on configuration changes at 5.

Gorgeous!

Surprised you got a GTS allocation without having purchased a Porsche previously. Very lucky!

Osh your build looks spectacular. I’m on the same journey as you, just a couple years ahead. My first Porsche was a 991 GTS which I loved, and then this year I had an opportunity to get a 992 GT3. Just picked it up (Euro delivery) in Leipzig, had an incredible week of driving including a few track days, and now I wait for it to arrive and the Canadian winter to depart…😠

I agree with the comment above, you may find the GTS is perfect for you. It does everything really well including track days. I opted for the GT3 because the really high performance driving experiences are the most important part of owning a Porsche for me.

Lovely color similar to my current 992 cab s. I also was fortunate to get a GTS cab allocation at the same dealership. My third car from them and one of the best dealerships to do business with.

AWESOME. A GTS on the Streets of Tokyo would be a sight to see. Did you order right hand drive? I would assume so?

Favor! Actually, I was surprised I got one as soon as I did. They said this was allocation #2 for them? I believe I was originally #8 on their internal list and should not have had an allocation until the spring. I'm #45 on the GT3 list (out of about 150)...no idea how long that will take (especially with the supply chain constraints). They also offered me a Turbo S in May of this year (someone canceled their build) but I passed... that level of 911 Nirvana comes at a price 💰I am not quite ready for. 🤗

I've always wondered about the RHD thing in Japan, only because there seem to be quite a few LHD cars deliverered there. Do Japanese customers get a choice?
