Lots of pics please and congratulations!!! The Turbo S is an absolute beast. Super disappointed they dropped carrera white, so I'm going PTS on mine.
thanks. i didn't realize they did away with it. there was a 2023 in carrera white that i could have went with but it didn't have the sport packageso it wasn't my desired spec. maybe it's gone in 2024? i need to educate.
completed the business side and will be back in two days to take delivery. reading my new favorite book until then. their shop looked legit so i'm going to let them prep it. swirl inspection before i drive off lol. what an incredible piece of engineering.
someone asked for some pics. here you go. it's way too early since i've only put ~300 miles driving home from pickup. def 'MORE' in every way but in a smaller package!! i would expect that at this price point. lol. local detailer hooked me up with some ppf scraps and i also took some track armor. solid protection and the bugs came off too. first mod is a wind deflector to address some buffeting when the window's open. next is ppf/tint.
very happy with the overall build quality, carbon fiber and general craftsmanship and engineering. that booty is something else.

Do you mind me asking what you do for a living? I want to be you when I grow up....

wait, i missed this part last time. are you moving from the gts to a turbo s in pts?
i didn't share pics of the interior and a cold start last time and bored now. interior is black leather with chalk stitching. wanted simple and something i don't have to worry about jeans color transfer like with the alcantara/fuji. just sitting in the car with key in pocket and dash lights up. a real physical tach dead center - yes! the two on immediate sides of the tach are configurable. i've got the right one now set to tire psi.
puddles lights and matte carbon fiber backlit door sills
mid dash in matte carbon fiber. buttons are: front axle lift (fal) - up to 35mph , exhaust valves, hazard, traction control and porsche dynamic chassis control (pdcc). interior is simple and works. also has ventilated seats and ambient lighting up to 5 colors i think.
high quality carbon fiber roof
cold starting the new hoover vacuum like the lc500, it cold starts with valves open, then they close.
i'll start trying to give impressions since it was asked by some. if ya'll are tired of this thread just say 'stop'. lol.
still no ppf. appointment in two weeks. itching to go out so threw on some track armor and headed out to bed the brakes. such a crazy procedure for porsche ccb's. good amount of transfer and never thought i'd experience better braking performance than the ccb's on the fuji but the 10 piston calipers and overall system outperforms the fuji's 6 piston calipers. maybe that's obvious but porsche's ccb's are known for being one of the top performance standards in braking. now i see why and it was only from bedding. the last phase of full abs really demonstrated the stopping power and even made me a little motion sick which is new. i wasn't able to monitor temp so that's the only unknown factor for me and the process completed. can't wait to get it out on my local backroads.
bonus booty shot with wing up...still getting a feel for best picture angle.
Just a stunning machine, Sensai. Please keep posting pics and updates!
And yes, I have a 911 TTS on order that will replace the GTS. I'm going PTS and trying to decide between black olive metallic with gold wheels, China grey with black accents, or something in light blue (meissen maybe).

congratulations on the order and thanks for starting this thread as it was one of the things that motivated me to actually do more than window shop! both options sound great. post pics!!

My pleasure and welcome to the club! Will circle back around here when my build locks. In the meantime, keep posting!
ppf is next week but cldnt stand it anymore. slapped on some track armor and took it to the backroads behind my place. ~450+ miles on odo so still in 'run-in' period but starting to lean on the throttle a bit more. the 8 spd pdk transmission is incredibly seamless and shift points spot on, downshift blips are perfect and gurgles in sport+. damn. the hype is real. i never installed a pedal commander or equivalent on my 17 or 21 rcf's so i've always just dealt with the lag. what an upgrade.
when in sport+ handling is super tight with porsche advanced suspension mgmt (pasm like avs but also lowers car 10mm from standard), rear axle steering and porsche dynamic chassis control (pdcc). totally confidence inspiring. rear wing and front air dam deploy in sport+.
still love the rcf. the sound and i think the front end and overall lines are more appealing. back quarterpanel and direct rear shots (pics) belong to the 911......my taste at least.

like the lc500, it cold starts with valves open, then they close.
