I'm guessing, that once all the motors were shipped out for all the cars stuck at port, they immediately started to get the factory cars moving. So while mine already has the new motor, I still receive after the port folks. It was definitely surprisingly good news.
Yeah, I'm with you guys in that same Valentine's Day queue from earlier this year. It should have left last Saturday on the boat for RI also.

Azzurri, our cars should be on the same boat. Another boat left today from Emeden (Swallow Ace) so hope others have their GT3's on them.

Got the message today my Cat B has had its engine swapped out and has left the factory a week ahead of schedule. I should have it by end of next week!!! I'm in UK by the way.

Not going to sleep for a week!

Are there any other Cat A Rennlisters out there besides me who haven't gotten their GT3 back yet?

PAG screwed up and scheduled me in with Cat B customers. I paid for my car in full on December 20 and took delivery of it in Stuttgart on January 10.

When I pointed out their scheduling error they bumped me up about a month, but here it is July 23, and now they are running late on that schedule. Very frustrating.

Are any engine swaps taking place in August in the US?

^^Good question. My feeling is the German Engineers are working around the clock to get them all swapped in July so they can return home for vacation. I bet they have added incentive($$) by PAG to make this happen. Time is money as they say. Thank God the won the World Cup so they were not pissed off and screwed up our cars

Are you a Cat B owner?! If so and in the US, you might be the first Cat B with their car...
