Turbo's are sweet, I got the chance to drive one a year ago surprised how thick the steering wheel is.

Dave, again, I am "proud" if that's the correct word... That car is AMAZING. The orange really pops under those fluorescent lights, even next to a bright color like yellow. I know I told you not to get the orange bits in the interior, but it is very well-matched and tasteful. No one will ever mistake your car for an "on the lot" purchase.

When it comes time to order my car, I'll talk to you to ensure I get the right leather bits. They seem like overkill on the spec sheet until you see them in person. Also, if you don't mind, please PM me what the sticker was (or a shot of it if you took one). I need to know how much I need to steel myself before I go for it.

Congrats again - I really hope I get a ride in it one day!!

Oh man, Dave and Dave, let me know when that happens - I might take a 3-day weekend up to Mass w/my wife (she lived in Boston before).

Chris,
If that's the case, wait till my 'Orange' GT3 comes or you'll have to make 2 trips

Thanks Chris. We should definitely talk when you're making specs.
Here's my Monroney (hope the file is large enough):

This is the one color where changing the amber lights isn't necessary

Congrats

I would never have thought that orange would work on a 911, even a GT3RS, but it really does. The interior is perfect as well.

Congratulations on the wonderful purchase.

Is the file big enough...

Thanks for posting that - it's a good guideline to ensure I don't miss a section of stitching or whatnot... And I'll DEFINITELY take you up on your offer!
