I'm still torn between colors. Chalk is still on top, but IGM looks incredible, too.Would love the interior red stitching, but that is another price threshold that I will probably forego.
I have IGM with red details and red stitching. If you have some specific photo request just let me know.
Finally picked up the car a couple of weeks ago! It went straight for PPF/tint/clearplex and since bumper was off, got the RGS screens installed.
Shark Blue, SD front, leather, yellow stitching and seatbelts, RS wheels, FAL, large tank, MT. I think that's it.
Very happy so far with color and interior combo. Shark Blue is epic! Certainly not very discreet but didn't want something white/gray/black. I liked Ruby Star too but after seeing it in person and seeing Python Green at the dealer, the latter would have been the other option of my liking.
Have not been able to drive it a lot but some first impressions:
-Feels so much sportier and purposeful than my older F80 ZCP. I never truly loved that car and I already love this one. Traction is noticeably better than F80.
-Does feel a lot heavier than my E46 M3, albeit according to the Internet it's technically not much heavier. Maybe it's the size (especially the width) and engine placement that are throwing me off.
-Gearbox is a highlight for me. Love placement of lever, short and precise throws. Nice clutch weighting.
-Can't comment much on engine since I'm keeping it under 4K RPM but feels very NA (F80 turbo was a bit too much) and seems like the fun is just starting at 4K.
-Need to lower the tire pressures, currently set in the high 40s from dealer. I suspect it will improve dramatically some of the bumpiness and will reveal a rather compliant suspension.
-FAL is really helpful for me. My driveway is very tricky so FAL makes things so much easier.
-Pedals. Is it just me or is heel and toe not straightforward? I feel the brake pedal travel is VERY short and throttle placement is closer to the floormat. You can't really roll your foot.
-Backup camera quality is truly embarrassing! I hope 992.2 is upgraded and we can retrofit it. "McDonald's quality", says my kid.
-Love the wheels! I can lose a couple of lbs to offset the extra weight.
-Super happy with 4 way seats. As someone with a prior major back injury, nothing like a simple seat and a very small cushion. And having an 11y old, it's easy to slide them forward.
-Steering is much better than I thought. I had an Elise before, so that's my reference.
-First time trying Clearplex. I'll commute to the office once a week so hope it will save me some windshield replacement.
-Very easy to daily, ingress/egress, cabin noise etc.
Scary to see a brand new one being taken apart already, but definitely in very good hands with these guys. It's for a good cause - full PPF wrap + ceramic coatings
Can't wait to start putting some miles on when I get it back next week! I literally just drove it from the dealership straight to the shop.
Have my PTS T coming in August and just changed from standard black leather to lizard green T package with lizard green dials. Ordered PTS Oslo blue. Think the lizard will pop and was originally concerned about a clash with the Oslo blue but every time I see lizard green interior, I can’t help but love it.
Anyone seeing order status pushed back? I checked My.porsche expecting to see “your Porsche is on the way to the German Port” and instead saw my “manufacturing is complete” date pushed back a full month… even though I received the completed car picture a few days prior.

Will report more as I put on the miles.
Love your spec-mine that is very similar (standard wheels) is off coast of New York right. Will pick it up in a few weeks.
