Default Tried to get a .2 GT3 allocation but ended up with this instead (mex blue content)

Well as the title goes I tried to weasel my way into a .2 GT3 allocation at my local dealer a few weeks ago (obviously failed), but while I was there I spotted a Mexico Blue 991.1 GT3 and it has been haunting my dreams ever since. Long story short I pulled the trigger today and will be trading in my 2014 C2S when I pick it up on Saturday. It's still incredibly surreal to me and I will miss my Carrera (my first ever Porsche) but I can't wait to get this thing on the road! A few pics below:

Hell yes!

LWB or 18-way?

Edit: Ignore - I see 18-way.

18-way. Probably not that popular but think I would have spec'd the car exactly as it sits myself.

I believe far, far more popular. Probably not what RL would tell you to get but I believe the vast majority are 18-way. And RL doesn't drive your car, you do.

strettyend , Welcome aboard spectacular car , nice move , you are in for a big performance surprise .

sort of frustrating day , so to turn it around , quick errand in the P car , errand done , attitude

majorly improved .

OH great color , and I love my 18w seat , I do get some razzing occasionally at the track about them, but not worth 10k to me to change them out . Have Fun and Congrats
