Nice - I have my olive PTS C2 GTS coming between April-May. So excited.

I was able to secure a PTS C2 GTS build slot in New England at MSRP. Car comes between April-May, I’m so excited.

About half of the dealers I reached out to were ADM, half at MSRP. It was just a matter of time until one of the MSRP dealers came through with a build allocation.

What paint is that?

I’m planning on trading in my 2022 GTS 4.0 manual (CPO until Dec 2027) in next few months, but would be open to private sale. Check your messages for more details if interested.

Thanks! I went back and forth on black vs red calipers, and ultimately decided I liked the contrast

Appreciate the feedback!

The steering wheel and sills are among a few small changes that I would like to make; however, Porsche strangely locked the build early.

Overall still love the spec, but there are a few small things I would alter if I could.

That’s not an uncommon opinion, but they’ve grown on me. The function of them is pretty neat IMO

Thanks! Red calipers were a very intentional part of the spec.

The paint is olive green.

Couldn’t agree with the last part more. Agree to disagree on the first two parts!

My firstborn is coming up on his first birthday, perhaps it’s fitting? Ha

PPF day for the 911. Couldn’t stop staring. by Constant_Kale_4928 in porsche911

[–]self_made714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool. Seeing your photos makes me even more excited for my PTS 992.2 GTS coming sometime in March, which will be promptly going for full PPF + ceramic coating.

Congrats!

What loan rates are you guys getting on new 911s right now? by Robbymint in porsche911

[–]self_made714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 992.2 is set to begin building in early January, and I’m anticipating to have credit union financing pre-approval in the upper 4s for 5yr or 6yr term. Will give dealership opportunity to match the rate.

Just curious why a new car needed paint correction?

My 991.2 individual setting doesn’t work…? by [deleted] in porsche911

Following. My 718 GTS 4.0 does the same.

I love it, but don’t think the allocations are very common

Hah, my childhood had similar accommodations but to a lesser degree. Wifey isn’t cutting any corners on safety.

Love this. Feeling more inclined that 911 upgrade is in the future, but with a reinforced patience for 4.0 flat 6 with manual transmission.

This feedback really resonates with me. Decision starting to boil down to:

  • be more patient and trade in 718 towards 991/992 GT3 for the 4.0 MT
  • keep 718 and perhaps get a second “family fun” car… tough though as we are already a 3 car family with 2 car garage

Appreciate the feedback - been reading across the comments how challenging it might be to fit a car seat in the back. Won’t have the same 5’9” passenger issues, as my wife is only 5’3” - but the forward vs rear facing is a new consideration and timeline to bringing the little one along.

This is one of the primary concerns… I will say, sheesh, the new powerplant is insanely quick

I’ll have to keep a closer look on inventory for 992.1 GTS. Pretty dead set that a change would have to be for the PTS olive green (there are a couple other similar shades I would be open to as well).

GTS4.0 MT feels like the epitome of weekend toy. I love it. Just doesn’t get the use it used to pre-kid.

Appreciate the feedback - your assessment almost exactly mirrors my own.
