I am told this car will be a June 2008 delivery

 

Congrats...why no LSD?

 

I would add the LSD and strongly reconsider the painted lip etc. The reality is this part of the car scrapes easily and will probably need replacing at frequent intervals, I consider it a consumable item. Especially with lowering springs. Why do you think Porsche makes them out of black plastic in the first place?

 

You will NOT get deviating stitching on the shifter & Handbrake with this order. Also consider CDZ if ordering all Stitching. Atomic80 has some great pics of this option on another thread and it is only 250.00. If you want to get stitching on the shifter/handbrake, see the following: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=89113
In this is an email from Porsche. Show it to your dealer and have him interpret it.

 

great info all (esp. imcarnutz). the ordering process is very complicated and appreciate the help.
I realize the lip is consumable, but it looks to "stuck-on" in the black imho.

why the LSD??? and why is it not standard?

 

Specs sound great. Might want to add the LSD. June is a long time mr. waiter....

 

Its not standard because Porsche wants to make more $$ on your behalf.
Not only that vast majority do not need it nor do not understand what it does. Still, for the $$ its a no brainer if you plan on attending a driving event or 5.

 

no kidding. The word from The Sewickley Car Store (pgh, Pa) is they are alotted 4 turbo coupes for 2008. i get the last build date even though i bought an M5 from them last october. Just didn't get on the Turbo train soon enough.

 

Hi,

Congratulations! Mine is also Guards, October 2007 delivery. Do you know what month the production for this car is? Does June 2008 delivery mean May production?

If June 2008 delivery is what you want, then it's ok. Judging by the "frowning" face sign, it's not? YMMV, but there is no way I would accept a one year wait! By then, 2009 model will be right around the corner, with possible exterior and other changes.

Where are you located, surely there must be another dealer within a few hour drive from your house?

I didn't even know that allocation has been given for May 2006. Could someone here who works for a P. dealer confirm one way or another?

Regards,
Can

 

Yep, you will have to wait through thier holiday schedules...

Good thing you grabbed a seat on the train though!

 

08 Coupes are going to be scarce which if your kicking tires now means a long wait if you can find an allocation. Im Jan build and thought I had it bad!

 

Outstanding! If you're going with deviated stitching, you might really want to consider the leather center console (XMZ) and the gear trim in leather (CDZ) to "fill" out the interior. Then also consider the leather sun visors (XMP) and dome lamp cover in leather (XZD). It's going to look fantastic. Black with deviated red is the best IMHO

I also echo others in adding LSD.

 

Are you locked in to this dealer for some reason? June '08 seems to be a bit much. I would search the country and find one sooner. I'm sure it's possible.

 

not so much "locked-in" but have an excellent relationship with the people there and i'm not in a raging hurry.
