Adam, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to post the pictures. Thanks! I also agree with the silver wheels - would you still order the white ones?

Agree. Don't forget we also miss out on the perspex windows, roll bar, and cool 4.0 stitching in those Carrera GT seats.

Grant, I thought the whorehouse red alcantara head liner is standard and non-changeable? When I build the car on Porsche's microsite I don't see an option where I can specify black.

This is a bad *****
PJ, I agree but I don't seen an option for decal delete. You know me, I like the cars white and plain. Just like yours!

Rumors still persist of PTS for >September builds. Anyway, I like White as it mimics the awesome Cup Cars.

I don't think there's any decal delete on the site, but it's in the options, only it's not clear if one can separately delete the "PORSCHE" on the wing.

Choosing black for paint or the wheels is on the first page of the "build" site.

I think I'd go with white and keep the white wheels because that's the design of the car and silver wheels are easily acquired after-market.

The red cabin can be switched to black, but I'm not sure aware of an option to delete just the red headliner. They do show an option for a mirror on the ceiling and heart-shaped cushions.

PTS was a bit delayed on the 2RS, so anything can happen.

No way! Me and Jimmie are on the same humor continuum I loves me a good whorehouse interior.

Dang! Missed that. Gotta call the dealer before the allocation locks. What are the codes?

Not according to the article. Wing is unique and at a steeper angle.

TFS.

I thought the way the 3.6 or 3.8l revved wasn't such a bad thing...

Damn it! I hate reading these articles because I keep wanting one knowing I can't afford...

My future plan is a 3.8 RS (2-3 years down the line, maybe even longer), I'd be more than happy with a light weight 3.6 RS as well

If only my car was about 200 lbs lighter and had stiffer suspension
