Default Haven't gotten the OK yet...

From my dealer, but I'm hoping the codes listed earlier are correct. Should talk to him tomorrow and firm it up.

i know what you mean, porsche is rather confusing and secretive about this
on GT3 guide, code 98 and 99 are non metallic and metallic PTS, respectively. each at $4,315.

where as on RS guide, i dont see such code.

you are right in that any PTS must be OK'd by PAG. they will not just PTS on any sample, go figure.

Does he mean the colour is not an option or is it the whole PTS option that is not available?

Default Dealer said..

The order guide is not the final say, only a basic guide. He emailed Germany, and PTS is not an option at all on GT3 or RS....so he says. He didn't say it was in any way related to the color itself.

Branding & packaging for consumer products. We end up doing alot of photoshop, but faking up cars is more fun than work. We have done alot of work for Mothers Wax in the last few years, including this semi with Chip Foose. We also do 3-D renders and annimation. Many of the images of cars on the Mothers packages are renders, including the modular wheels.

the semi design would be pretty neat on the gt3 as well!
at least for the track.

That sucks!! I don't get it. Why is it not an option for the GT3. I could somewhat understand on the RS but it should be an option on the GT3. After all didn't someone say it was just another Porsche model...
