Dark green, interesting.. I toyed with Dark Olive Metallic for my last Boxster. Cool colour - looks almost black in dull light, but really lights up in sunlight. It also has some bronze flakes which would look awesome with the gold wheels

DaveGordon:Oh man that Viola car looks good! Glad someone got a decent pic of it - I had crappy light conditions when I went down to see it. WHY DIDN'T I ORDER ONE??
Humm. Imagine you 991.2 RS in viola. Would be amazing and so unique

bluelines:DaveGordon:Gnil:There used to be a Golf 2 special edition in violet . Is it the same ?Could be.. there was some overlap of colours around that time. Viola seemed to feature on the 1993 964 C4 30th Anniversary cars. Around the same time, VW was making Golf GTis in Oak green - which, as you know, was also a series 911 colour.

We need our specialist too. We finally have found it. Dave is our color guru !

Ok, now it’s done!
PTS, special color on all text on the car (two sides, back and on the wing) and some more. Due to the PTS the built of the car was moved one month,to Mars, but that’s ok given the climate in Sweden that time of the year .
I will let the final decision be a cliff hanger until I post the pictures of my cari on this thread in end Mars/early April, but would like to thank you all for all your input. Helped me a lot. Thanks !
By the way, current price for PTS is 9.877 €......

Depending on what paint you choose, that's pretty reasonable as far as PTS on exotic cars go. Ferrari would charge you probably $30K.
Speaking of paint, Ford has a really nice metallic blue that they use on one of their SUVs. Looks fantastic. Seen a few lately and think it would look excellent on an exotic.

Specced the car, August/September delivery.
As mentioned before:
GT Silver, Black Alcantara with Red stitching, Suspension lift, Weissach Package, Red instruments, Chrono, Red marker on wheel, 26 g tank, Leather steering column (dislike that plastic stock thing).
Now a long, long wait.......

Weissach Package is $31k, since lawyers rule this country and obviously don't like people to be safer, rollcage is out.
However, we get the Weissach logo on a cupholder!
Does Euro car get that too?
(heard it is an exclusive perk for US customers in lieu of the Titanium rollcage)

That is a long wait ......... I would of thought the GT2 would be produced quicker as they have been presented since a few month already

Unlike the Americans, we Canadians drive around with seat belts ON.
But alas, our cars are obeying DOT rules, so no roll cages for us with Weissach Pack.
The DOT law for no unpadded roll cages was because their 'study' deemed that most Americans drive around not wearing seat belts, hence in an accident they body and body parts might contact the unpadded hard surface of the roll cages and impact extra injury.
Clueless Americans, or better yet, clueless American lawyers and lawmakers.
Let Darwin's Law rule, if those people choose to not wearing seat belts, let them DIE.
Also, prosecute those liability lawyers, gives them death sentences if they loses.
These "Not my fault" mentality needed to change. IF one chooses to pay more attention to Navi system than the road, then it's not the fault of the car maker to OFFER a Navi system. Skip those useless warnings. IF one chooses to not wear a seat belt, it's not the fault of a car maker that design the interior for people who actually wears a seatbelt!

BMW was able to provide a rollbar with their latest M4 GTS in USA - why can't Porsche do whatever BMW did (did it receive padding or so?)?
Doesn't look padded here:

Don't think US got the lightweight seats (that look like Recaro Pole Position) though...

I was this ' ' close to buying one of those GTS cars. There was one sitting in the showroom at my BMW dealer a while ago.
I saw what BMW did with the roll cage. They pretty much zip tied a couple foam padding on the cage that the owner can remove in 2 seconds.
I asked Porsche about that specifically, at Goodwood when I saw AP and FSW during the launch of the GT2RS and the Turbo S Exclusive. They said they are not going to side step the law that way like BMW did. It is 'not safe'. They know I was from Canada and not the US and we are more responsible, but they said because our market are small, we are grouped with the Americans and the American laws prevented us from getting the best stuff.
I REALLY WANTED THE CAGE FOR MY GT2RS! But,
That's the official answer.
It all comes down to the American government to do the right thing.

Too bad...
Clubsport on GT3 is the best free option I ever saw and we can't have it

Um, I don't know a single American who drives without a seat belt.
Your view is short sighted. If it's thought that they don't wear a seat belt and that they might hit their head on the roll cage, then it means they would be more likely to lose control of the car during an accident. It's not like an accident completely stops your car dead in its tracks. You can still use brakes, steer, beep the horn, etc.
This could prove to be very bad. Imagine you hit a curb, you bounce in your seat hard, hit the roll bar with your head, are dazed and then the car continues to move straight and hits a person on the sidewalk. Had you not have hit your head, you maybe would have been capable of steering/braking/beeping the horn. Heck, maybe you can get out of your car and help someone else still.
This is why mandatory seat belt laws make sense. You aren't just trying to save the occupants. You don't want incapacitated people behind the wheel of any car at any time. It's bad for everyone.
