Gravedgr - I was at Henessy yesterday, having my car in for CEL work and I started up a conversation about the GTS with a salesman while I was waiting. He told me that his GTS customer just left and we watched you drive away. Oh well - maybe I'll see you there or around town another time...

Hi Jack!

I go by all the time (the wife wanted to see the white C4S on the showroom with the black wheels for comparison) so we could easily bump into each other there. Do you do local PCA events? We probably won't do many, but we love to take drives to the mountains with local friends. When the GTS arrives, we should hook up if not before.

 

This looks like a great idea and way for Porsche to bring in some extra orders.

Maybe even one from me.

I was looking at the GT3 but prefer many of the S features. One big thing to me is I prefer the looks of the 4S but do not want the 4X4 option.

In ordering an S I wanted the power pack but 16K

So its down to this.

What are the color options on interior. Are they black only like GT3 and are most other options still available?

While I see PASM is standard, what about sport suspension and LSD?

 

I don't recall any other color options for the interior, but that doesn't mean custom work is not an option. SPASM and LSD are options as on the S.

 

Gravedgr - my local dealer is a Porsche Premier dealer and I do my business directly with the GM of the dealership. He tells me that the allocations for GTS coupes have not been released yet nationwide. I've been thinking about pulling my '11 C2S order (not been built yet, but will be soon) and switching to a GTS. He told me that the Porsche internal site indicates no allocations anywhere yet. Did you see something that would indicate that your dealer really has allocations? Did he actually place an order for your car or is it just spec'd awaiting allocation? I'm confused.

 

Hi Alan,

My dealer is Hennessy and they are 2nd in volume behind Champion I believe, and 10 miles from PCNA HQ, so I dont know if that plays a part. I called my salesman the day they announced the GTS and changed my order after getting some details.

He said they got 4 allocations - 2 coupes and 2 cabs. They had already ordered one coupe and changed it to my spec. When I went by on Friday, my salesman said my order was in the system. The configurator the dealer uses has all the options, but not the right pricing (for example MSRP shows as $1 but some options show as $9999), so I'm waiting in the final price.

I can only tell you what my salesman and GM have told me. If you'd like to check with them, the GM is Mark Venti.

 

Congrats on a beautiful and rare car. It look very similar to my C4S

 

Doug......... Congrats on the new car....... That will be one excellent ride for sure. (All the stuff you want in a single package!)

 

Thanks - now I just need spring to hurry up and get here!!!

 

I'm in PCA and used to be more active, but I haven't done much lately. I'm also in BMWCCA even though we haven't had a bimmer for a while, but I do their DEs at Road Atlanta as I get a better deal as an instructor. I might do something with PCA if the right situation comes up - for example, I registered for the drive to the High Museum earlier this year but bagged it at the last minute due to the rain and early start.

A mountain drive sounds great, as would a meet-up some time...

 

Does anyone know if it comes with or without a sun roof?

 

I've been waiting for this release for months.
It's almost as if they were reading my mind on how I would order in a c2s with a WB rear wheel drive as a bonus.
Now if I can just add sport classic wheels & tail

As far as uniqueness & future value, just look at m491 & 993 c2s cars for sale.
And none of those had standard factory goodies like power kit & exhaust.

I go in Monday to spec mine but am not yet decided on trans choice & wheels.
Leaning towards PDK, although manual may be a minority & stronger future value.
Anyone know if the center locks have 5 lug adapters or vise versa?

 

I believe it comes with one.

 

If you guys head to the mountains I'd love to tag along. My wife always bails b/c it makes her nauseous.

More importantly though: AWESOME car - congrats! Incredible color choice w/ the black wheels. Would love to see it sometime.

 

Thanks - as soon as it arrives, I'll be itching to do some driving right away. Probably the best place to coordinate is the SE forum. I'm also excited to go driving with my friend Bob (Kaamacat) and his new GT3RS.

Now if only I could make time go faster! The wait is the worst!
