What's your most likely body colour choice?
Don't panic - I think they might now all have to be black!

Checkout the German configurator - they are still on there, but they are automatically selected and you cannot de-select them now! If you try to deselect them it says "Deselection of the component is not possible because it is a basic option." (translation).

I did pick up on a thread which identified a dodgy finish to the silver part. Could be the reason it has been dropped.

That's the same dodgy finish on the black that I saw on the PEC yellow car infact I would say the black looks worse!

Arrrgggh - just been told that 887 - "Steering wheel 12 o-clock marker" is adding up to 4 weeks delay to build from Sept onwards...

4 weeks isn't much, but Im now tempted to remove it and swap back to P11 LWB instead of the P03 Folding Buckets I added due to the delays on P11.

You would think Porsche could manage their supply chain a little better than this! frown

When did the black wing supports disappear from the configurator. Likewise, a while ago, the CDR+ audio pack was described as including DAB radio. Not now. Will the colours change next, or maybe the engine/gearbox....??
Hi, to get Sat Nav, Bluetooth connection for your 'phone, and DAB radio, you have to specify PCM, Audio Upgrade,Telephone Preparation and the DAB module. Has always been the same as far as I am aware

As an aside, any idea how the rear wing angle adjusts? The GT3 RS has multiple adjustment holes, but can't see these on the GT4

Has anyone any idea on which type of bucket seat allows the greatest seating height to be obtained as I like sitting as high as possible. I know the folding buckets are not height adjustable but they seem to be mounted a little off the floor compared to the LWBs which appear to be flush with the floor. I have sat in the folding buckets fitted to a Boxster GTS and they were ok but would like to spec the LWBs if possible.Anyone sat in both types?

LWBs have electric height adjustment

As per my feedback it's epic.

Steering feel brilliant, chassis sublime. The bad points are nit picking (designed in i.e long gearing, restricted engine) and don't detract from the fact it's an amazing car. Certainly the best thing I've driven for as long as I can remember and before I chose the GT4 looked at / drove F430, Gallado, V10 R8, Cayman R. Better than that lot, the old R by some margin in my opinion.
Great to hear it stands up to such competition, how did it feel compared to the F430 (I used to own a coupe manual), was it as raw and did it feel as special?

LWBs adjust higher.

Honestly for me not as special as an F430, the 'I'm driving an Ferrari' syndrome is hard to beat due to the noise mainly.

But it was nicer to drive fast, will be able to handle much more abuse and much more compliant. It also felt a nicer place to be but still feeling raw enough at the same time.

As a short ass you will want the LWB to be high. As per Turbo as I can confirm they go quite a bit higher than the fixed ones

I've got PTS, LWB and the 12 o'clock marker. I actually don't want my dealer phoning me because after the confirmation of build slot, every call has just been about another delay.

And they are managing their supply chain, by telling you that there is a delay, you're changing your order to speed up their production line. wink

I've asked my dealer about the CD-R+ DAB situation.

Can't think that the technicalities of CDR+ have been changed but DAB was definitely part of its spec a while ago. Really don't want to have to go down the route of PCM to get digital radio.
