That exact car was at the PEC when I was there. The blue was a little muted for me.

I like it. A little more stealth than Shark.

But, quite the markup for that car!

I'm still waffling on whether to move forward with the 992s 'vert build if/when my name gets called. Now tha Aventurine is offficially obsolete, I would 'have to' do PTS, as I don't like any of the standard colors offered.

I'm torn between
- Gemini
- Yachting
- Jet
- Amethyst/Viola

Right now it's all just fantasy land, but if I do get the phone call, it's a tough decision. Funny thing is - it is the only aspect of my build that I am waffling on - and to me it is probably the most important.

FYI, PTS and PTS+ have been pulled from the 992 online configurator. Before the configurator was pulled Gemini was NLA.


Email below from PCNA to my dealership GSM in August re my PTS request.

You’re talking my language. I love the yacht blue. I’m jellies if you can get PTS as an option.

Hope your name gets called.

(Yes. Color matters to you, we all know this)

As SCA mentioned, I can't right now, which is one of the reasons I haven't been pushing my waitlist forward (along with the price increase, my wife's desire to keep our 991 i/o upgrading and the lack of follow up from our dealership). Also as SCA mentioned - PTS seems to be a moving target. Everytime I look at the 'standard' PTS list colors are added / removed (ie: Gemini and Yachting was gone for a while)

I'm taking the Motoman route, not wanting to pay ADM and not wanting to trade build targets for speed of allocation. The last time I talked to my salesman (~2 months ago), I was hoping to have the flexibility of seeing what the .2 cars offered and either getting a very late .1 build or an early .2 build. I don't know if that will be a reality from my dealership's open orders allocations- and if PTS doesn't open up might all be a moot point.

I attached the last build that was loaded for me - I decided to remove the sport design front facia.
