You can think everyone wants your favorite Shark Blue all you want, the reality is few want it.
Also, it's not my poll. I shared it because at least it provides some sort of basis to support what I'm saying. Making baseless claims is a good way to sound like a clown.

Just really interesting to see how dynamic a post can be about a car offered for MSRP to its options and color choice. One can argue it could be the deal of the year or how the market is cooling off, or you're a pink guy or a blue guy. Wish I had the money to pull it off but good that it's off the mind since I heard it's sold, didn't really last for long...

Pink car good, but in "t" spec... I'm not so sure. Can't say pink and gunmetal grey were made for each other.

Rubystar really looks great on the T with the grey accents

I will chime in as a Real World example of someone who traded in a blue 992 for a Rubystar Neo T. At the airport, headed to Europe today for Euro Delivery and cant wait to see Rubystar Neo in Person! Doesnt mean I dont like all the Blue Porsche colors, but Rubystar is a unique historic color and I think they will be unicorns (like greens, lava oranges etc...)

Best part about Porsche, they let you build the car HOWEVER YOU want it! Everyone can be happy and get what they want... i promise someone wants this 992 that is "sitting" at the moment

Man, congrats! So jelly I didn't get ED as an option. Make some great memories and don't forget to take lots of pics and share here.

If I could have gotten PTS, I may have been tempted into leather interior & extended deviated stitching, which would have put my build around $141k - just a sniff below this one. Hopefully the spec makes someone happy!

I would take it but those tiny front brake rotors behind the wheels kills it for me.

If someone wants Rubystar, I'd hedge that they could probably drive it away for MSRP (and should negotiate a discount on a set of Carrera exclusive wheels at the time of purchase).

...and to be clear, this doesn't mean that I have talked myself into buying it. I am just saying that it would be a great car for somebody.
You have to see it in person. This color with RS Spyder in titanium looks stunning, one of the most beautiful combinations Porsche is offering at the moment. These photos don't even half show what she really looks like.

I hear you - they are tiny (front & rear)! Not a dealbreaker for me - I have an incoming Carrera T (Leipzig ED on 8/22) - but, man, they will look a bit silly next to the giant brake rotors on my M2.

The brakes are better than larger Fxx brakes tho.

Make a great Mary K car. I’m not a fan of pink cars.

I just bought at the same time MSRP 131 k for 141 k black , Burmister , ext tank,sunroof , vent heated seats , LCA, PDLS lights ,PDK,surround view ,dash cam prep ,ambient lights .
I only wish I could have had rear wheel steering but no way I could handle thatRuby Star color . I could do silver or white . Besides shipping would be another 3 k to California . I found local
