Hi all,

I finally got my GTS allocation! Been waiting for two years so very excited.

Now my countless hours on the configurator are coming to an end and I think this is what I will be going with:
- Shark blue
- Lightweight back
- Premium interior
- Speed yellow stitching (PTS yellow, not the standard yellow paint)
- Shark blue seat belt

Obviously this is my build to my taste but any suggestions are very welcome. I debated taking the GTS chalk pack as it provides value but I came to the conclusion I don't care about what it offers besides the seat belt and stitching.

I think the speed yellow stitching will make it more special and this darker yellow is a bit more mature than the more in-your-face racing yellow.

I agree with you about the yellow stitching - it will look great. Are brake calipers available in yellow? I love the red against the blue exterior but yellow would be unique and consistent with the stitching. Either way - stunning build!

Great build - I luv those seats !!!!

I have a shark blue cab with black interior and blue seat belts - looks great.

Unfortunately, it is about 10k for the yellow caliper brakes and is getting the car out of my budget. I could maybe pay someone to paint the calipers speed yellow after the build so it matches the interior.

Yikes - red is great. I wouldn’t pay extra. I love Porsche but they do know how to nickel and dime you

@Larry C

The only other standard (still $900 extra cost) option at this point for 911 caliper color is black. I specifically wanted the black calipers for my car but the red looks really good against the black wheels and Shark Blue color on his build. Either the red or the black would look great I think.



@Porsche4Live

Nice build! Congrats on the allocation too! Are you planning on tracking it occasionally?

Maybe he's talking about something different but I think the almost $10k extra cost is because the yellow calipers are part of the PCCB brake pkg at $8,970 ($9,870 for PCCB in gloss black).

If tracking the car, the steels are the far better option anyway for a variety of reasons.

Yeah I plan to track the car occasionally. It will be mainly a fun weekend car / track car with the bucket seats / lightweight package (mini-GT3 build).

Unfortunately, I couldn't find an allocation for GT3 without a 75k+ ADM so I'll wait for the .2 or later for a GT3.

The Yellow stitching would give a touch.

i am glad that i added the bigger fuel tank to my build. the cheapest option there is I think!
