Thanks - this is my first GT3 - that makes the wait <<much>> worse.
Plus, I've actually been waiting since before the whole engine debacle...

I'm really excited about this car.

Congratulations!
Nice build.

IMO, the wait, anticipation, the tracking,... its all part of the experience and is special.
I know it sounds crazy, but enjoy it and think of it as fun.

The wait is torture. I was lucky enough to get mine 1 month early

Be patient, the wait will be worth it.

Haku is spot on...as usual. The wait is an essential and thrilling part of the ownership journey. The many visits to the configurator, the eventual order lock, the ship tracking, etc, etc. It's all part of this wonderful ritual. Then... it arrives!! And your life will never be the same. Enjoy and congrats on being one of the few that can enjoy this amazing car!

Be happy you got it at all. There are some people that will wait their whole lives and not get one...

Awesome... the wait and anticipation is super exciting.


Unfortunately I'm in the situation that I had an allocation that locked on 11/14, and the dealer keep claiming that they can't give me a date yet as nothing is in the system. Argument is that it has the Bucket seats, but I see that it's on this order so can't really accept that as an excuse.


Anybody else having experienced anything like this? I'm beginning to get worried about what's going on.....

On Rennlist, some people were saying their order with LWB were delayed
and other people orders went ahead no problem...

Thanks.... I'm scratching my head as to what logic Porsche is using in their scheduling - It seems they've invented some completely new ways of doing that

I noticed on your order that you don't have telephone module. Do you need that to have Bluetooth for your phone? I hope not, because I didn't include telephone module either (my gt3 arrives in march)
