Supposedly a September build.

Now ... the debate ...

Iron vs PCCB
PDLS headlights vs. LED
Front axle lift or no

If PTS is not approved I may go back to a winged wonder. Hopefully I can do what I want. The color palette offered is rather weak. No greens. No dark blue.
If Porsche offered popular PTS colors as a regular option, call them classic colors or something, I'm sure the uptake would be there.

What V code is your build allocation presently at? This may have some bearing whether your request for PTS is approved.

No. 996.

Yes to IRON for the track. (I'll be upgrading pads right away) - a greater selection of brake rotors/pads and 19inch track wheels.
I went PDLS as I won't be driving at night much - If you wanted to see the look (on Guards Red) I can show you after March break. (also have the BBi bar installed already as well)
Axel lift - oh yes, you're the trailer guy and should know better than me if this will be an issue for you when trailering but I needed it just to get into my underground winter parking spot.

My choices there would be Iron, LED and lift. Other suggestion would be to assign the allocation to me as a winged wonder

On the fence with PCCB. Leaning towards lift and PDLS.

I wish Porsche would just make a ton of GT3s so everyone could be happy.....and I could get a said GT3 used in a few years below MRSP, LOL.
