That's mine so far... anything you'd add or take away based on experience? I'm 99% more a C2S than C4S man.

My deposit was in a couple months ago. Not sure on going for the C4S Vs C2S - do you feel much difference between the two? Only ever driven 2 wheel drives Porsches, except a turbo.

I'm leaning towards C2S

C4S gets to 110k which feels a lot for a 911 non-turbo.

This spec would be fairly mega - http://www.porsche-code.com/PLAMDBG2 - my actual spec comes out at 105k, but I thought I'd have a go specing all the "money no object" options I like and this is what it came out at lol!

Anyone any views on the merits of either of these 2 spec's? My original one I went for the black interior.... now I'm thinking I quite like the standard wheels in satin black, with the two tone grey interior to lighten it up.

Anyone with more experience of specing from new, who could cast their eye over and help give me an opinion? I've not seen these options on any of the test car pics that are floating about yet! Thank you.

Mines due end of march. Spec needs to be finalised first of Feb.

Is the red/black interior okay for resale? Does anyone have experience ? Or is all black a better option to go for? Thanks

I'm going for guards red / black interior. I think that'll look fantastic.

[kbf1981]

Anyone asked got factory collection? Any quotes on costs yet? Mind will be built on 22nd March, so I guess collection would be that week if you can do it!

[kbf1981]

I can't decide between these 2 specs:

1) Guards Red, Slate Grey Interior, Silver Exhaust / Not De-badged - http://www.porsche-code.com/PLVMWG64
2) Guards Red, Black Interior, Black Exhaust, Black Badges - http://www.porsche-code.com/PLPEUMD5

I submitted 2 originally... now I'm thinking 1 is better... so hard to pick!!!!

Edit... maybe this - http://www.porsche-code.com/PL2M2E28

Hmm, hard decision without seeing any cars in the flesh!

Personally, I like 1. I went with grey/crayon myself as black is so dull.

I've been scouring the web to find pictures of anything similar, no luck so far!

What's the view on Sports Seats Vs Sports Seats plus?

Has anyone had invites yet for their OPC launch? Surprised I haven't heard anything from mine

Nothing yet - they perhaps don't have a guaranteed date for demonstrators / launch vehicles?

I was told, end of Feb by my OPC but haven’t seen an actual invitation yet.

I think the launch event for OPC’s in Mallorca has finished now....they’ve been doing comparisons against the 570s amongst other things.

Be interesting to hear what feedback was in that regard. 570 is rapid.

[kbf1981]

Potentially silly question... Did anyone get a discount?

[kbf1981]

Guess no one got a discount? 😂

Genuine question. Would you buy a late 2018/2019 991.2 GTS over a nicely specified - 992 Carrera S at a £105,000 - £115,000 price point? Have an old client asking me what i'd do. My gut feeling is to buy the latest thing as it will be 'fresher' for longer. Happy to hear your thoughts

Depreciation gotta be lower on the 992 surely due to lower initial supply?

[kbf1981]

Launch day at Wilmslow OPC tomorrow. Anyone else going?

[kbf1981]

My car is now at Wilmslow OPC ready to do PDI, and should be collecting later this week!

Super excited - the reviews have been pretty spectacular!

Think I may have seen them taking it off the trailer when I dropped my Cayman in for some work!

I'm suitably jealous, sat in one there at the weekend and was instantly sold on it, they look amazing in the flesh. Will be my next car

I was tempted to go down today, to have a look, but hopefully pick up Wednesday so not long now! Hoping I made the right decision with the options, I was looking through the spec again today and remembered I put on a few "nice to have's" that I don't need, but will appreciate, like heated steering wheel and interior lighting pack lol

Anyone been told their car is on stop..... again....because of something to do with cupholders and the parking brake?

My cars ready to pick up now but apparently deliveries on stop due to the cupholder.

I went in yesterday to my OPC and there was NO mention of any stop.

That is interesting. I called Porsche GB last night with my vin number for them to check as it seemed ridiculous to me. They are contacting me this morning.
