I knew this post would get Larry all worked up. LOL! But it's only one person's opinion. Not a poll or even stats about the most popular sales. Just Elisabeth Blackstock's personal opinion. I will try to find the article I read about the most popular requested colors for the 992. Definetely NOT Green or Yellow!

Last time we looked up an auto journalist's personal car when he criticized the Macan it turned out to be an Acura . She doesn't even list her own car or color . Just sayin....

LK - Flat black rocks!

Everyone relax or do I need to come down there and kick some ass!

@Ricky_Bobby started it! 🤪

How about pink? I see a car (Taycan) similar to the one in this pic at my dealer every once in a while and learned it was a tribute to the « Pink Pig », a Porsche LeMans legend! 🤔 Pink anyone? With the cuts of a pig outlined!

I found this vid about the « Pink pig »

 

[CH61]

This is the one I see at my dealer. It’s a wrap on the Taycan.

It’s terrible! Hope that @DoctorFreeze is lucky and his dealer honest and transparent. It’s better not to overpromise. I know something about it. It’s torture. Better know where you stand from the beginning.

Anyways, if the Doc reads this I just wanted him prepared and not disappointed if the wait is longer than promised. His 992 is likely to be his 52nd Bday present. 😏 Just like mine. Well, only 10 years difference! LOL!

The « problem » with waiting is that you keep adding stuff in the configurator. For us it’s going to be fun. Especially, if it’s the Docs money! I’ll talk to his wife. LOL! 🤪

 

[CH61]

I know, I kept adding stuff all the time on that configurator! I’m very happy with my build.

I told my wife the guys on the 992 Forum were a bad influence! 😉 😂

 

[CH61]

How about Irish green?! The vid doesn’t say if it comes with a case of Guinness! 😉 But it’s a GT3 Touring, so not for me. Maybe Larry could go see it in West Palm Beach.

 

[CH61]

Like the car not the color.

Not even sure about the car. We like to drive our cars everyday, everywhere. Just looking at that carbon fiber seat doesn’t look very comfortable. I’ll take one with the regular seats! LOL! 🤪

I placed my order in early June. My SA gave me hope (false?) that I quickly moved to the "next one on the list" for my C2 Cab after their allocations at the end of that month. I won't hold my breath. The last time I spoke to him, he said likely Spring 2023 before I receive delivery. Hope he is underpromising and will over-deliver. Btw, I'm up to about $10k in additions now. The waiting game is all by design.. I'm convinced. Lol.

The "problem" is that allocations are given for each model and right now (covid, supply chain, war, sinking ships, etc.) the dealers have absolutely NO idea what is coming to them. Mine overpromised and learned from his mistake. Now, he doesn't even give a timeframe to customers. A 12 months waiting between placing your order and delivery would actually be good news.

In the meantime, you keep adding options on the configurator... 😉

 

[CH61]

I was told it’s a two year wait now for any 911.

That’s what I was told also but now my dealer is underpromising. It also depends on what model you’re waiting for. They could get very little GTS or Turbo allocations and a bunch of base models....or exactly the opposite.

Bottom line, I don't want to discourage the Doc and really hope his SA is transparent. Mine wasn't.

 

[CH61]

I’m definitely expecting the worse and hoping for the best.

Look at it like you’re in line for something really special and it will be that much more sweet once you take delivery!
