Yeah, that's what I've read online here. Many like the M-Engineering tune and some say that Porsche is OK with it from a warranty perspective. I won't get my 911-T until April, and then I want to enjoy it just the way it is before I look at tunes, but that one is on my list.

The good news is that I also have 8 years before the California Smog Test rules apply. I'm going to assume that a tune like this would fail the Smog test...

I posted this here before, but just food for thought: https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/12/healt...der/index.html

Not sure why people think pink is a girls or girly color. Maybe it's something deeply psychological (therapy?).
If I had chosen this paint, I would get plates that say MrPink.

I personally like the color but prefer metallic colors. If they had this in metallic, I would have jumped on it. One of my favorite colors is Viola Purple Metallic.

No idea why people take issue with it. It's a color. You like it or you don't like it. There doesn't need to be. this stigma about it. Viola Purple Metallic is one of my favorites too! I'm partial to purple though with an Ultraviolet car..

someone’s mad they had to pay 20k for a color that came out for as a standard color the next year….
Needlessly attacking people who like a color you don’t is childish
lol nice troll post/rage bait

same I would have gotten it if It was not a PTS 🙄
the New Ruby Star Neo interestingly enough is darker then the 90s Ruby Star, and is notably different when I parked next to a 2022 GT3 with the PTS.

You seem unhappy about these awesome colors. Maybe you got burnt by paying PTS pricing before they became as available colors for $10K less.

anyways here is a link so you can order the paint for your house in those colors. Just in case it will make you a bit more cheerful. Imagine your master bedroom in Ruby Star or an accent wall in your family room in Speed Yellow.

Let us know your thoughts on them.

Seen non pts in person and ordered Olive Green , British Green, way more personality and i would order again, the point is Porsche will never give something for free, not a coincidence they are number 1automotive in profit making

I love the color but I am bias. Ordered one for delivery early next year and I couldn't be more excited. Colors are subjective. You don't have to like it, just like the one you own lol.

We ordered sight unseen and picked it up 2 weeks ago. It is my wife's daily and she loves it. It was not my first choice but PTS wasn't available, but have to admit both of us like the color more than we thought we would.

After 2-1/4 years from deposit, our Ruby Star Neo Targa is finally here. Color is stunning in person. Picked up yesterday after port hold in late Jan, and chip swap this week. First drive yesterday and car is so fun. My wife is so happy with it. Exclusive wheels in Satin Platinum along with the silver Targa bar looks so good.

While not for me, the choices you made were perfect (wheels, hoop, chalk interior). Well done
