Stopped by the dealership this morning and he car was just released and awaiting transport!!! Should be here in 1-2 days!!!

I was also surprised that the dealership had just received a 911 r. Very nice white with blue stripes. Can't believe that 2016 cars are still arriving in march 2017

Order date: early Feb 2017
Delivery: June 2017
Location: Toronto

http://www.porsche.com/microsite/por...px?c=/PHG7K684


First Porsche after 3 BMWs and 3 Mercs. Most similar would be 2007 SLK55.

The C2S has so much power. I found I had to keep my foot off the gas on the 400 highways - easily hits 140kmh without noticing. Significantly better drive than 2007 SLK55. Not sure if it's the 10 year gap or rear engine but the C2S just grips the road even in February. It's also a very comfy and quieter ride compared to the Boxster - I can definitely understand why some feel it's more a GT car, but that works for me.

I had initially negotiated a small discount on a 718 Boxster and the dealer was kind enough to leave that discount when I changed my order to a C2S.

Ditto, looks like our cars rode over the pond together. Fingers crossed they hit the dealership soon!

How do you know if your car is on Tranquil Ace? My tracker says:

Entry Port Emden 3/10/2017 ... could my car be on the same boat as yours?

Definitely not. Tranquil Ace sailed out of Emden on 3/4. (Took longer than usual.)
The only real confirmation of the boat's name will come from your dealer, once they see the status change.
