Small samples from dealer
Cartagena Yellow Metallic

And Lugano Blue

in my opinion Cartagena is not bright enough and more pastel, I would like it to be closer to Acid green or Birch green

@kalachkin did he have a sample of Shade Green? I heard a lot of people saying it is more pastel than metallic.
No metallic in Shade Green. I think it looks cool. Its the green version of Chalk
edit, I didnt realize they actually called it SGM. I stand corrected! I saw no metallic in it when I saw it last fall
This old auction has video and some large photos of Shade Green "Metallic"

Too much green in that yellow. But color is a matter of personal taste.

I actually have a funny question.
How is that even possible, with extra torque and initial speed up GTS version should transfer the power way worse then 992.1 GTS, while .2 GTS and 4GTS have same 0-100km (or 0-60mph) stats?

How is that even possible that rear and 4wd car have same 0-60mph? WIth that much extra torque the difference should be bigger then .1 GTS vs 4GTS, where it was 0.2s difference.

I don't think so. Here's my 992.1 versus the best picture I could find of the 992.2. It looks like two of the light control switches disappear on the 992.2 (maybe moved to the center LCD Display), but the real issue is the, lower half, what I'll call the "Tongue." This "Tongue" contains the Start Switch on the 992.1 and is simply an extension cover on the 992.2. If these "Tongue's were the same shape and size that'd be a good sign, but it sure looks like they're not. These "Tongue's are different shapes (Photoshop Overlay Tested) and the dash panel is shaped differently for each. The bottom of the 992.1 is round and the 992.2 is squared off. So if an interchange were possible electrically, one would also need to purchase that section of the dash (or whatever assembly it's a part of) to make the swap.

I do not think Porsche redesigned the dash only to incorporate the "flap"(which is a piece people will never see), while leaving the left and right parts of the opening unchanged, just to fill them in with black plastic "blanks".
The 992.2 flap simply fits over the existing cutout on the existing dash, which is why the shape looks slightly different to you.
I just checked my 992.1, and the start assembly also has an upside-down trapezoidal "flap" shape; it is not actually rounded, as it appears to be from the driver’s vantage point or in the picture above.
Therefore, I am pretty sure one could retrofit the 992.1 start assembly in place of the 992.2 start assembly.

I do like Slate Grey Neo, and if they had it in the 992.1, it would have made the decision to go with Jet Black Metallic that much more difficult.

Slate grey was one of the first 911 colors. I love it. But with today’s non-metallic colors not being clear coated and the changes over the years in paint, I’d rather go with a metallic one.
#2771
I thought only the matte/frozen paint colors tend to not have clear coat. Slate Grey Neo looks like a glossy color.

I haven't seen LB in person. How do you think it's an improvement? I was really looking forward to SB until they took it away. Now I figure I'll go GR unless I can see LB in person and like it. It looks darker and less vibrant to me in the pics.
#2774
That's what I've done. I'd always SB or Lava Orange on a 992 and when I got an allocation, my build date was 2 days past the NLA and order wouldn't go to V200. I faffed on about IGM for a while, until I saw IGM , Carmine and Guards Red next to each other at a dealer and locked in GR for my upcoming GTS.
