My GTS

Hello all,

So like others around here I decided to start a small journal about my new Porsche. I will add to it, as time goes on.

This will be my first Porsche, and owning a 911 has always been a dream for me, it is actually on my bucket list. So I will be looking forward to crossing it off when she finally gets delivered in January.

When it came time to spec out the car I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices. I posted about it here and got some great advice.

----------------

October 22, 2014 - Order is locked in. Early December build.

It is huge relief that I can't change the build anymore, I was losing sleep at night fretting over the options. This is the build that I ended up with. I did go over my limit, but not by too much.

2015 Carrera GTS

U2 - GT Silver Metallic
487 - 7-speed Manual Transmission
435 - 20-Inch 911 Turbo S Wheel, painted in matt black
030 - PASM Sport Suspension
AZ - Black leather interior
P06 - Power Sport Seats (14-way)
P3E - Premium Package Plus
P3H - Bose Audio Package
602 - Full LED headlights
638 - Park assist with camera
653 - Glass Sunroof
712 - Deletion of GTS on side doors
XAJ - Side skirts painted
581 - Luggage net passenger footwell
583 - Smoking package
844 - Multi-function wheel
XSC - Porsche crest on headrests
EGA - Carbon interior package
XHM - Center console in carbon trim

Here is an image that helped inspire me with the build.




More to follow....

Very nice build! As a fellow GT Silver owner, I can say you will definitely love the color, and won't think twice about the extra $$ after. Enjoy, and keep us posted when you take delivery.

Thanks.

From the beginning I wanted silver. When I went to see the Rhodium in person. I found it too blue. I then went to white, as I felt the price of the GT was excessive. In the end the many pictures of GT Silver convinced me to pony up.

I'm content now. I will be elated when i see her in person!

Thanks man. Your thread is mostly to blame for the GT Silver decision.

Thanks, and don't worry you will. My other hobby is photography. So I plan on using the 991 as test subject.

Thanks! Two days since lock in and the wait is KILLING me. I think I'm spending too much time on these forums.
