I'm over the moon excited! I realize the question will come up, why not a TTS? To be honest, I don't want the PCCB for daily use, & for me, I just could not justify the additional cost. I understand some will disagree, but I think it will be a perfect car for me!

I still have about 3 weeks before freeze date, so if anyone has any advice or thoughts please let me know!


My biggest dilemma was color choice. It was between this or White/Espresso.

I think both would look great, but the Rhodium Silver is a really beautiful color.

OK Gum ball - don't let anyone talk you out of that colour combo...it is beautiful and I wish I could show up in a showroom somewhere and see it because I would buy it. That is option for option (except I didn't want the 658 PSP) - what I would do except specify the Sport Classic wheel Vs. the Regular turbo wheel if you don't want the Center Lock. I am on the fence on my car so the dealer ended up ordering in my second choice which is a Basalt Black on black with CL and same equipment that he thinks will move quicker than Rhodium if I go soft on him. I have attached a nice picture of the RS choice - much like the polar silver of old - beautiful on this car.

 

Thanks -

Believe it or not the dealer I initially went to had a 2013 c4s in Rhodium Silver with the Yachting Blue interior. It was gorgeous!

I seriously thought of getting that car, but I was indecisive, & I kept thinking, I know I will love that car, and then after a couple of years think, damn, I should have gotten the turbo. I'm coming from a 2013 M5, and felt I could possibly miss some of that torque feel. Hopefully, I won't miss it that much!

lol - yeah I've had that gumball image for some years - finally figured out what to do with it!

On a separate note, I was out in San Francisco for the "rally" a few years ago (not as a participant). I remember, without question the loudest cars there were the Carrera GT's, just incredible. There was also someone with a Corvette dressed up as NYC taxicab! What a great day that was....

Sounds like an amazing build, Elliot! I also agree that the Rhodium Silver / Yachting Blue is a gorgeous combination. I'm partial to white 911s, but I would recommend sticking with your color combo.

Congrats!

 

Congrats, I have a similar optioned build, except w/o Burmeister and in a White w/Expresso/Cognac Cabriolet.

Totally agree on the TTS vs TT dilemma, and for the $30k difference, with not wanting PCCB, I couldn't persuade myself it was that big a step up.



OD, curious my (our) dealer claims the Sport Classic is not available on either TT or TTS... as I would really prefer them in black, on my white Cab.

 

Thanks Gunner -


I can only imagine how beautiful your car will be with those colors!

I believe we have about the same amount of time to wait. Mine is due in around the last week of April. I've only finalized the order today & already I'm waiting too long!


Elliot

 

I think your dealer is mistaken. They are on the web-site (in Canada anyway) and there is a thread I started on Rennlist where one of the guys posted a picture of his TT with a set of Classics on it...and you can get them in black because my dealer ordered a set (in black) for a neighbour of mine. I would re-ask the question - darn nice wheel.

 

Oh I know... Just yesterday I actually emailed him the blue TT from your Rennlist link and also a link to a Porsche site custom build with Sport Classic being used.

Ironically on Monday sitting in his office, he showed me "his computer build screen" and the wheels were not available.... on either TT or TTS. But here at home online I can see them....

He never replied to my email..

:cheers:

 

Congrats!!! let the waiting begin!!

 

Nice build, but if you are into detailing and keeping your car perfect, then ceramic brakes will give you way less headache keeping your rims clean. But there is a 10k difference so that does buy a lot of cleaning supplies.

 

All that...PLUS those Fugly yellow calipers clash with everything visually!!

 

Thanks everyone!


I thought about the PCCB, but I've really no plans on tracking the car, I will just be using it as a typical daily driver!

I don't mind a bit of brake dust, & the cost involved of replacement, well it does make me pause....

I was actually liking the standard option TT wheel, maybe I should think of the CL?

I still have until the first week of Feb to make changes!

 

I did like you, and tried to order a TT, in the end I was so damn close to the TTS I just bit the bullet and went for it.

I remember on my ZO6's I had regular brakes (which in due respect stopped the car very well) I cursed everytime I cleaned that damn car, couldn't get the bristle brush all the way thru and the black just stood out like grease on the rim. It was a chore that I no longer wished to do. My last vette was a ZR1 and it had ceramic brakes, they were so easy to clean, all I ever did was spray wheel cleaner and rinse. Even after a days driving you could wipe your hand on the rim and no visible dirt other than dust was on the rims. In all honesty I couldn't tell the difference on braking power between the two but for cleaning its a no brainer.

I also find that the pccb fills the wheel so much better than standard brakes.

 

Maybe this, perhaps order the standards painted black, that may solve my visible brake dust problem!!??

My issue would be this, my car as is, stickers to @172, a wad of money, if you start looking at S models, it easily adds another 20-30k.

I do realize some may not have an issue or concern about this, but I do think about these things.....


Elliot

 

I'm glad I'm done with ordering. It was the most difficult part of buying this car. Would be so much easier if the car just came one damn way.

Money doesn't come that easy for me, I work very hard for it.
