Default GTS Build Stop Days (PCCB or Interior Upgrade & CF bits)

Having a hard time… 5 days left.

Pretty much same build other than these options… PLEASE weigh in. Both options are approx 165k.

GTS Coupe color options:

- color 1: Shark Blue
- color 2: Arctic Grey
(Rubystar Neo I missed by a month)

Then for the build options:

- build 1: PCCB w/Standard RaceTex Interior, no CF

- build 2: Upgraded Leather/RaceTex Interior, CF Trim, CF Wheel, Leather Steering column, Aluminum Pedals, LED Aluminum door-sill, Gloss Black Rotors

Arctic Grey (biased, have it on my Turbo GT and love it)

Build 1, PCCB over CF interior trim, can always add some CF trim later but once you've experienced PCCB it's hard to go back to iron brakes.

+1...except if you go to the race track often, PCCB's are too expensive for that and would likely convert to steel rotors anyway.

+2. Unfortunately, my build cost got out of control so I eliminated the PTS & PCCB's. I sure hope I don't regret it cause I love the PCCB's on my Panamera. We shall see. If it wasn't for the d@mn ADM, I definitely would have gotten them.

PCCBs over the fruity stuff (and I love the fruity stuff, but I'd pick PCCB over them)

Arctic Grey with option # 1 (brake dust sucks!).

I'd go Arctic Grey and Option 1 as well. While I like CF, some things in option two seem wholly unnecessary like the leather steering column & door sill and I wouldn't do a CF wheel for the loss of grip (just IMHO, but you asked).

Regardless, congrats and enjoy in good health!

I switched to Hawk Ceramic pads and it’s a big difference to OEM!! I now can go on a drive and not worry that after just 50miles my wheels are covered in anything but brake dust.

I feel like you if you wanted rubystar that bad, shark blue is your next bet considering it's presence on the road. Both are beautiful, one is subtle and one commands presence. Go with your gut and not everyone else's opinion.... (my opinion).


edit: also my opinion, CF bits to me really just aren't worth it. I have had it in all of my cars, ALL of them, even my 21' C4S. However I didn't spec it in my upcoming GTS nor will I in the turboS build I will be submitting over the weekend. (Unless it's standard, I'm not sure)

Thanks all.
Submitted SB w/Standard GTS RaceTex Interior, No added leather, stitching, nor CF. Also removed the aluminum pedals and led door-sills, no sunroof and stayed with 4-Way sport seats. $165k

The true LIGHTWEIGHT Package… no added weight of RAS, 18Ways, leather, and added un-sprung weight of the turbo steel brakes.

Wish me luck that the Bose and PCCB don’t hold up the delivery in 2 months.

Feeling good about this spec! THANKS RENNLIST for helping me navigate this bucket list process!

The dark brushed aluminum trim that comes standard on the GTS is really nice. You won’t miss skipping the CF interior bits.
