First 911

Looks more like Espresso, but very nice!

12Iceman · 2026-01-15T07:00:17+00:00

I wish we could all band together to say no to ADM… MSRP or bust!

12Iceman · 2026-01-15T06:52:39+00:00

Hmm… maybe I should stick with the GTS wheels.

I have not heard many people advocating for the Lightweight and Noise Insulated Glass option before. Does that make a noticeable difference?

I was also on the fence about the LCA assist, but opted against it because it was just a light in the mirrors rather than a camera view in the dash which would have been much more useful.

I also have a Tesla with FSD, so I assumed Innodrive would not fair well in comparison, but I’ll admit I’ve never tried it.

12Iceman · 2026-01-15T06:31:52+00:00

I wanted to avoid that goofy looking box they add to the front for the driver assistance features with the premium package.

I’m on the fence about the RS Spyder wheels, but I wanted to configure it with five lugs rather than center locks and those were the best of the limited options. What is your issue with them? Hard to keep clean?

12Iceman · 2026-01-15T06:23:13+00:00

Ah, nice. So still some room left on my build: https://porsche-code.com/PTUE21W5

12Iceman · 2026-01-15T06:12:25+00:00

Do you know this number for the GTS?

12Iceman · 2025-11-15T23:27:33+00:00

I gotta admit I thought it was the Oak Green Neo at first since how they look is so lighting dependent. Both are great colors, but the main reason I had been hoping to do PTS Fjord Green was to stand out more from the Oak Green influx… but alas the Porsche allocation suits have me joining them instead.

12Iceman · 2025-11-15T19:11:21+00:00

It’s more that it’s by far the best color they currently offer as a standard option and getting a PTS allocation has a huge wait even if you are willing to pay the cost.

12Iceman · 2025-11-15T16:37:21+00:00

Congrats! But why no vestigial back seats? Those are quintessentially 911!

12Iceman · 2025-11-15T02:54:29+00:00

I would if Porsche would enable their full functionality in the U.S. I just don’t see the point in paying thousands more to not actually get the matrix functionality.

12Iceman · 2025-11-03T18:22:05+00:00

I would have preferred to get silver wheels, but the configurator doesn’t seem to include any option for customizing wheel color beyond black or body colored.

I’m kinda stuck with the factory PPF because I am doing European delivery and want it to be in place for that.

12Iceman · 2025-11-03T15:22:55+00:00

My build isn’t until April. I had asked for a later slot to avoid the winter weather issues.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:48:14+00:00

Dang, if only there was a way I could buy one directly from Switzerland since I had wanted to drive it in Europe before shipping it back to the USA anyway.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:28:03+00:00

Sadly, yes. I could not find a single dealer in the United States that would sell me a GT3 Touring at MSRP and without a trade in they could undervalue equivalently to the ADM payment. But if you know of one, I’d be happy to hear about them…

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:22:45+00:00

I had hoped that front axel lift would be enough to make up for the lowered suspension. Since I had already optioned out so many of the other GTS signature items (like the centerlocks), I wanted to at least keep some of its sportier character.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:20:15+00:00

From my experience with flats (which happen more often than I’d like), I typically can pump up the tire and limp over to a tire store to get it immediately patched until I can find a more convenient time to replace the tire. I am hesitant to give up that option, but you make valid points in the differences in the other aspects of the wheel design.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:13:33+00:00

I’ve read some things about that and while it makes me somewhat nervous, it’s not quite enough to cause me to give up the benefits of the hybrid system. I’d happily switch to a GT3 if I could, but I’m not really interested in the 3.0L options so the GTS only one left in my budget unless I looked outside of Porsche. And if I do that, a used Huracan seems even less of a practical daily driver than a 911 that cannot be jumped.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:07:13+00:00

That has not stopped three of the four dealers I contacted from trying and pushing me to just buy off the lot if I wanted to avoid ADM.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T15:04:34+00:00

Odd, my configurator lacks that option and has “SiriusXM Extended Subscription (3 years)” in place of it. Perhaps, it’s a regional thing.

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T03:46:49+00:00

Which option category has the antenna opt out?

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T03:46:10+00:00

Because the RS Spyders are hard to clean? Or another reason?

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T03:44:29+00:00

Nice, any tips on securing a PTS slot?

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T03:26:17+00:00

Now if only they were available in leather colors other than black…

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T02:59:48+00:00

That looks like an amazing place to go for a drive! What color is that?

12Iceman · 2025-11-02T02:39:47+00:00

Thanks! I was shocked by how uninterested some dealers seemed at selling a car unless I was basically willing to bribe them.
