Today I saw what I think is the proper green for the RS on another Porsche 997 model at Zuffenhausen. Wow is that bright. No problem finding that one in the parking lot.
Not my color.

You have an RS on order????
Do you have a copy of the Proforma Invoice??? The one with your name and order number on it from PCNA???
How much is the car????
I have been told by many, that GT3 RS's are not and will not be ordered this year. The MSRP and the final build sheet has not been released.
At Beverly Hills ( second largest dealer ) he told me today that the RS is still up in the air. His rep told him that every dealer was going to get one car only?
This lack of reliable information is very frustrating.
I called and asked the dealer if I had to have the TV screen. He said yes. Then I got out the order guide and went through it with him and he thinks no. I ordered Sport Chrono so I could get the Sport Button. Now I find out that every GT 3 has a sport button. Why would I want that stupid hump in the dash, if you already get the sport button?? Is there not a 1-800 line for dealer support. When I sold Chevy's you just picked up the phone to dealer services if you had a questions. The lack of professionalism is driving up a wall. I received better service when I ordered my Suburban.

810 Floor Mats.
XXZ Foot Rest in Sports Look.
X69 Door Entry Guards in Carbon.
595 Roll Cage in Black.
XPA Thicker Steering Wheel in Smooth Leather.
I also requested that my Orange wheels be painted Black and hope that they will grant me this wish. Not too keen on Orange wheels. If not, I might have the dealer paint them for me when the car's here.
I was agonizing over the PCCB brakes but Porsche made it easy for me. No PCCB in the Gulf States so that pretty much closes the book on that option. No idea why but it might be related to their race experience here with the Super Cup cars that were running PCCB's.
I'll be sorry to see the 997 S with X51 power upgrade go because it's been such a blast to drive. Funny thing happened when I sent the specs. I got cold feet and thought about speccing a November Delivery 997 Turbo. I tried justfying it by trying to convinse myself that the turbo is the superior everyday car. Then I drove the carrera S, hard, and it reminded me how much fun is a two wheel drive car can be.

Just realized you live in the ROTW. Lucky you. Why not the club sport options? I am jealous. Good luck. My plain old GT 3 is on the same schedule.
Hole in the roof and all.
