Look at 911 long nose values compared to 914-6 values......

I hope you guys are right about the Spyder values since I may decide to get a GT4.

This time I could probably get the sport buckets as there appears to more headroom in the 981's. I would like to wait for PDK though as I've found it to be well suited for AX.

There wont be a spyder replacement....... Maybe some GT3 bits on a Boxster but a Spyder really is unique unto itself and always will be.

Which pic are you looking at? It doesn't look like that to me. Here's the pic of the seats from the US configurator.

And therein lies your problem.

You are an AP fanboy: A as in apple, P as in Porsche.

Excellent! The more voices they hear asking for PTS, the better off we'll be.

My favorites? Of the approved PTS for the 991/981 model, I would consider the following non-metallic solid colors:

In the Blues:
'Riviera'
'Mexico'
'Voodoo'
'Aetna'
'Gulf'
'Maritime'

In the Yellows:
'Signal'

I am not partial to metallics in PTS. As you can see, I tend to prefer the historic/vintage colors...although some in my list (like Voodoo, Riviera and Maritime) are not that 'old' in historical terms at Porsche!

Good luck to you, Green Lantern & others in your quest for a gt4 in PTS. I approve & support your efforts 100%! Keep us posted if you get the opportunity to do it!

And as I said before, it would not surprise to see 'Acid Blue'/code 354 on the approved PTS list sometime in MY2016!
