Nice! Have to ask - how did you manage to get PTS for a 2023 March build 911? When did you receive the allocation for it?
Allocation last summer, Aug 4 '22 - long wait! Got PtS & ceramics. Did not request lightweight w/ buckets. I'm actually looking forward to the usability of rear seats, the usable space it provides & occasional seating for my ten year-old.
My PS GTS just locked, ordered in August! Getting close. Cannot wait.
Absolutely LOVE this color and the stripes! Can you share total build? Got allocation same time as yours (Aug '22) I just (Xmas eve) got my Arctic Grey on black '23 C4 GTS and love it... But Wow love this color too but no way could I wait that long ;-)

Thanks - I guess that explains it but, wow, that's a long time from the allocation to the build! Was disappointed to not be able to get a PTS green on my Carrera T but I just got an allocation in January (also a March build - added rear seats too ).

I actually dropped the stripes by the time I locked. But I've spent a bunch of time and even started planning this build in August '21! (see pictures from Monterey)
(I've got a potential Touring build planned that will include a stripe)

I really like every selection you made on that build, inside & out - fantastic! Black Olive is one of the best PTS greens IMO (I wanted Oak Green for my 911 but both are top five PTS greens in my book).

Built like you know what you’re doing! Love it… did you give thought to RAS? I went back and forth and added it… and really love the feel. It’s not traditional but wow.
well done !

Thank you, I'm excited.

Thanks, I did think about RAS, but wanted the car as mechanical as possible. Plus I'll be 99% street driving. Also had to cut the box checking at some point
My 23 c4GTS after first wash and my review after 1600 miles.
My C4GTS after first wash. My ppf and ceramic installer didn’t want it washed for 2 weeks to insure proper adhesion.
I left on a 1300 mile road trip after a few days home and have some thoughts about the car.
The car is much quieter than I had anticipated including tire, wind and exhaust when cruising on an interstate. My point of reference is my 2014 981 cayman. The car handles perfectly even on high speed runs (over 130mph). I have not yet had it over 5000 rpm so it will interesting to see if the exhaust note increases noticeably.
The interior is ergonomically sound other than the steering wheel blocking the outside gauges.
Pcm is pretty intuitive and not hard to find things after a few days.
My 18 way sports plus seats are very comfortable( my wife was happy) and are very supportive with the bolsters. Much better than my 14 ways in the cayman.
Seat coolers are barely adequate here in south Florida.
Heated seats and steering wheel heater were more than adequate when I took delivery in Chicago. Carmine Red Slate grey over Chalk

* How does it handle ?
* Do you feel the extra grip from AWD ?
Thanks !

What does your wife say about the suspension? Is she happy with the level of stiffness and bumpiness in less than perfect roads?
(this has been an area of concern for me because, if the wife doesn’t like the ride quality, that means less time behind the wheel for me)

Very nice. Almost looks like you live in my town. Collier?

Thanks !
Handling is incredible! Before I left Illinois for Florida I drove some two land highways that have 90 degree corners with 40 mph speed limits at 85-90 mph and it was planted. No concerns mid corner or exit. It was at least 25 mph over the Cayman in terms of comfort. I have only just recently been able to accelerate above 4k rpm and i have felt the rear end try to step out but the front kicks in and it almost immediately straightens out. I will know more in the next week when i can open it up. Have not done a launch yet.
