991.2 gt3

Just got an allocation at MSRP. Now comes the hard part since one of my other 911's has to go...the 997.2 or the 991.

991. The 997 is special and you will take a BEATING on trying to sell it.

Congrats on the 3

Good point. My i8 comes off lease in 2019 maybe I just ditch that and have the three P cars.

Chalk looks amazing in the config! What other options did you go with?

I did a pure track car spec. GT Silver with satin (light colored) wheels, steel brakes (red calipers), light weight buckets, red accents (belts, steering wheel ring, stitching).

I have a while to decide but I like the idea of putting the 911R stickers - the PORSCHE along the door and red top stripes. I couldn't find a pic of a GT silver 911R with red strips but here's one with green.

I went with PCCB's and basically the same interior as yours. I haven't seen chalk in person and am a little worried. I asked PCNA for alcantera dash but was denied....your car would look great with the green stripes.

You can see chalk cars in dealerships now that the new Panamera is arriving in this color.

I have seen a couple of chalk cars. It looks like a lighter version of fashion gray.

I sat in those seats at the NY Auto Show and am not crazy about them. Have you had them in one of your cars?

haha I should probably keep it and dump this i8 thing I have. Then I'll have to daily my Jeep which isn't fun or maybe switch off one of the three P-cars each day

I don't own a car with the buckets but am looking forward to it. I have been in a friend's GT3 on the streets and I have also been in the GMG GT3 with buckets at the track and I love them!! Won't be my daily so more easy to live with.

Was thinking of going and getting in line for one. I'm done with the E63 wagon and the i3 anyways. I always have the 991 or the LX470 to daily.

None of you mention if you're going with stick or PDK. I'd do it with a manual, PCCBs, and LWBs in the silver, intending on a wing removal when I can. It's not for the track.

Since mine is a track build, PDK and steel brakes. I'm not a collector.
