Picked it up tonight! Will post more pictures tomorrow. It’s black in black on black - AMG Night Package, Black seatbelts, black rims. Exhaust note is amazing.

Nice, I hope to post the same in not so distant future, and an interior pic or 2 would be nice. I am going through the order guide now and while there are not as many options as Porsche there are still a few to think about!

It's the same thing on the Porsche Forums to some extent, which is why there are forums for different models; however, I can understand having one for both models here since so few are made. Speaking of that, does anyone know how many Gs are made each year?

Looks great, congratulations. M-B did a great job on this vehicle. The flat windshield and the line from the A-pillar carried into the hood cut line are outstanding. This model will be iconic for a long time.

I had the first 2018 Manual GT3 in Texas. I know the Porsche forums. On Rennlist people are happy for each other. No matter what model they have. They do well enough they can be happy for others. Wish I saw more of that here.

Nice. I need to have a drop top in my sports cars (along with a manual) so that is why I picked the Targa, but the new Speedster is basically a drop top GT3 and I am thinking about getting one albeit I love my Targa. I have been on the Porsche Forums for going on 20 years and there is some animosity among different models though, especially with those that have the 991 Ts.

Are those the OEM 20" Matte Black wheels? I have those on my current order, and I understand that the ones on the Stronger Than Time packages are Gloss Black.

Wait was just 6 mos. from order to delivery. Good luck! I'd say 100% worth the wait!
