Well I am not doing ED until may of next year, so I believe the current plan is for an April build!
I know its a long way off, but I think that when you get a car like this, you need to make it an experience, so European Delivery and 10-14 days touring Europe "top down" will make it a "bucket list" experience...
I did this back in '07 when I did ED on my 997.1 GT3 ... well worth it, drove to Paris, attended Le Mans, then drove the length of France to Nice, back through Italy and Switzerland into Germany finishing up with 3 days driving at the Nordschleife ... EPIC!
I decided to skip on the GTS comms pkg and go instead for the ext color trim paint ... even the ridiculous $2k PCM surround ...

By the way, the drive from Bormio, Italy onto Stelvio then up to Fussen, Germany is amazing. Easy to do in a day. I thought after finishing Stelvio it would just be a regular drive, boy was I wrong. It just kept getting better. Trace out Stelvio to FernPass in Austria, it's worth it.
Enjoy, great build!

ED is worth it. I took delivery of my TT cab last month and had an amazing experience. I went the opposite way of Nurburgring, went down to Black Forest Highway then onto Switzerland and did the myriad of passes there. In Italy hit Stelvio. Weather was stunning, drove all the passes with the top down, the views were amazing, my wife actually had a blast as well.

We are thinking of heading thru switzerland and Italy to the Riviera, might take in the Monaco GP, then up to Aix-en-Provence, Beaune, and back to Zuffenhausen.
I would love to do Stelvio, but my wife is not a good passenger, and we stopped speaking for three days last time we did this (BMW) even when white diesel vans were passing us on the autobahn ... I was going too fast
for her!
what she doesn't know is we are getting the GTS ... she thinks its a Macan on order ... Oops what a mixup ...

Yeah I did ED back in '07 on my 7.1 GT3 ... WELL worth it!

My wife actually did better then anticipated on our trip. She really enjoyed driving on all the passes, she even started to wave enthusiastically at other Porsches driving by! We travel to Germany a lot, so she is used to my fast driving there.
I went to Monaco GP back in 2000, spent the week there with my dad, truly an amazing experience. I must admit however that a lot of the allure of F1 has been lost with the turbos and new car designs; the sound of the old V10s was deafening.

I hope your wife doesn't think the alleged Macan is for her!
