Not good when it shows a glass ie handle with care it's fragile : (. Is the box on top the new connecting rod bolts : (. Mike

Thanks! Man. I bet it's Monday. They always tease Fridays...then it winds up being a long, dragged out weekend with no news.

I don't get it. They have most of the GT3 buyers email. Why not email the information Friday or Monday? They would save a lot of time and effort and reach everyone about the same day rather than over several days.

I don't need to talk with anyone from PCNA. Just give me the information in the most efficient way.

PCNA, if you are reading this you have my email and I am the only GT3 buyer with the first name Nick living in La Jolla. Just shoot me out an email Friday or Monday.

Mike. Im sure of nothing. Was a repost from a Swiss guy on a European board. His car is scheduled to be back on the road in the next 3 weeks. He is receiving the 2nd or 3rd engine for Switzerland. Apparently this is the first supposedly. Gives another meaning to "flat 6" doesnt it!

Btw, while we're grasping at straws for info leaks, FWIW, a UK poster on PH stated that he was told to expect July / August delivery for his car that was stopped on the production line.

Yeah--but we need to keep in mind (assuming what he was told was accurate) that he's in the UK and they're a bit earlier in the timeline than the US. For example, at least a handful of PH members have reported being told that they will be back on the road within 2-3 weeks from today.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for INFO!

Come on, PCNA!!!

Just received communication from Anders in Sweden, who bought his GT3 in Stockholm, that his engine is being built this week ... with installation and redelivery within 2 weeks!

We're going to see pics/videos of GT3s on road soon. We'll have either word from Switzerland, Sweden, or Germany from drivers spiriting their GT3s home by May 23!!!

I am just anxious to hear about the new engine. My expectation is equal to may be a little better than before. I hope they throw a few extra ponies in there for us - at least 15hp. Probably just a software update for that - I hope your listening Porsche

From a poster located in GB. This is not good news. I hope our cars are not delayed until September.


Hi My car came in to the country around the 3rd week in FEB. ( late JAN early FEB build )Car not yet registered or paid for.Vehicle was held at the port of entry then after a few weeks moved to Reading.

On Tue.the 6th came the bad news that my new engine is programmed to be with the localOPC early SEPT.
The car will be delivered before this date in readiness for the OPC to fit the replacement engine.
The best they could hope for was handover around the 3rd / 4th week in SEPT.To say I am gutted is an understatement. Deposit in MARCH & now delivery late SEPT.18 mths.
