You cannot go wrong either way, IMO, and I've found that all this worrying about such details probably won't matter when the car finally comes in.

My freeze date is 3rd week of May, so I've (unfortunately) got plenty of time to rethink my choices! At this point the one thing I'm waffling about on is the PDCC, and I guess it comes down to do I want a $221K Targa or a $218k one 🤣.

My latest build for reference: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRXYURM5
That is a hell of an interior… holy leather! First class right there, I noticed you’ve got chalk accents inside, but you didn’t select chalk on the tachometer gauge. I think it would pop nicely with your current interior options. Porsche will do that… “I’m already spending $218… what’s another 3k?” 😂 Good luck with the next few weeks of sleepless nights. Like you said, the minor tweaks you will not even notice the difference. The car will be incredible either way..

Update… the Targa 4 GTS still has not become available but there is a Carrera 4GTS available. There’s a chance the Targa 4 GTS allocation won’t become available according to SA. So if I pass on this Carrera 4GTS, I may not be able to get an allocation.

I decided to take the Carrera 4 GTS coupe since it sounds like there’s a chance the Targa allocation doesn’t become available to me.

You won’t regret it and you can always trade the coupe in on a Targa. If yu go manual then you will have a rare car and it should do well on trade. When does the C4GTS deliver?

Thanks for the encouragement! It’s really hard to pass on any GTS model so not worth the gamble to miss out on a car. Delivery is 2nd week of August.

Good luck! That's similar to my Targa 4 GTS date as well. I have August 14 as tentative delivery date, so we shall see what ends up happening. I tried checking the configurator, and it's been down for a bit. Part me prays it is because they decided to open up new colorways before freeze date May 28, but that's just wishful thinking 😂.

Awesome! I’ve got August 12 as delivery date right now. My configurator was working this morning as I had to submit a build. I’m definitely going manual transmission since it’s a weekend car not a daily, and all the talk of the 992.2 manual option going away in the GTS models.

This is my build for Targa 4 GTS Delivery 2nd week of August. I can't figure out how to get the full weblink. I still have a few days until I give a final build. The only issue I have is the wheels stay with the turbo or go for spider. I would have loved to do Manuel but do to an issue with my left foot i have to do PDK.

Code= PRAZ5CC4

Maybe this link will work...

For that color, any thought about going with the silver Targa bar? It looks so good on the configurator, but I understand keeping the GTS "black" theme.

Well, just look at the sig photo. Easy choice for me, obviously. When did all black become the GTS theme? Maybe I’m getting old :-)

More of the fact that the GTS trim line comes with several accents in a dark/black colorway.

Taken from the Porsche newsroom (https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021...e-24875.html): The understated sporty looks of the new models feature black contrasting bodywork elements and darkened headlight areas. Black is also the dominant colour of the interior. Many features made of Race-Tex microfibre create an ambience that is both dynamic and elegant. The latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) brings numerous improvements in operation and connectivity.

Every other car I have is black . My father bought his first Porsche 911 back in 1970 which was silver and black. I did it because of him.

I never thought I would buy a silver car, but settled on it for my incoming Targa GTS, with colour accents for interior interest. Black is great, but shows every speck of dirt. Silver is classic and I think will be a little more forgiving.

Build Code: PRILT4U7
