There is a "paint to sample" 997 GT2 here in Singapore that is GT3 RS Orange.

Good news, hopefully when the order guide is published for the 2010 GT3 it will be available.

That signal yellow CGT is just amazing.

Thanks everyone.

Yes
I got my 997 GT3 painted Riviera Blue.
It did take a bit of persuading on the dealers part.

Don't know if the pic of the CGT was a paint to sample in Signal, but I do know the factory yellow for the CGT was "Fayence"....and its about 10,000 times better than "Speed"...really a lovely color.

Yes PTS is available on all 911 models, and the GT3 was not processed in any way differently on the production line than any other car

The dealer is probably to lazy or nervous about ordering PTS ..

also PTS can effect the resale of the car

The 997 GT3 was only available in the US as a PTS in either RS Green or Orange (see here https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...available.html).

For some reason I believe the RoW customers were permitted to use the normal PTS regime for their GT3s.

Typical cutoff date for PTS is in February of the model year.

If you don't order/act early, you are SOL

MY10 would be February 2010
