PTS is very pricey, when available, but pick the right colour & you could potentially recoup the cost when selling on.
I’m sure I read a thread over on Rennlist about a guy who had a 991.2 (think it was a GTS) in oak green PTS. He also painted the centre lock wheels Silver too & added the Porsche logo as shown on your picture of the 911R. I thought it looked stunning but he sold it not long after saying he was sick of the rattles.

Green car above is a 991.2 GT3 with Touring Pack.
Yeah, those GTS centre-lock wheels look great when finished in silver.

Personally not a fan of Oak Green (or any other green for that matter) as it’s one of the few things I’m superstitious about. Green cars are unlucky!

^^^ +1. Also great camouflage out in rural areas, so as well as disliking green, it's a safety issue for me.

Bright yellow is a much safer colour than white or silver!

You can see why I was confused.......

Smithy, sources tell me that the 992 Turbo likely to be delivered April/May. I'd definitely consider that rather than upgrade your 991.2. The new 992 turbo S looks awesome from the pics.
Just a thought.

I’ve seen the leaked shots and agree it does look stunning. I’ve committed now, so no going back.

Not trying to bump my thread (honestly), but my car is off to Litchfield on Thursday. Eek.
I spoke to my insurer and disclosed the modifications and with 3 months remaining on my current policy I have a £26 premium to pay!
Interesting to see Chris’s Harris had his 991.2 GT3 Touring into Litchfield this week for some Akrapovic goodness. Wonder if he paid
interesting choice of paint, eh Wingco?
