My GT4 is coming from that dealer that I'm buying from the 918 owner but it's not the white one in the picture since the one that I'm buying has steel rotors. The sales manager hasn't replied to the status check on the car that I sent on Tuesday.

Also, anyone interested in seeing the brilliance and pop of rhodium on the GT4:

Thanks!

Keep 'em coming! the registry is now up to 132 GT4's!

Next stop 200, or 1/3 of all North American GT4's in existence.

It was an easy catch since I authored it.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the data/updates.

PM'd you.

My Jet Black GT4 arrives very soon. On the transport truck from RI to Buffalo. Then I have to drive up to get it from Pittsburgh.

So I just got a few additions to the database of cars either recently arrived or not yet arrived.

Interestingly, to me anyway, they are not higher VIN numbers sequentially than I have already seen. That tells me regardless of the order they were built they are not shipping in any semblance of numerical order.

Why does that matter? Well, I had sort of assumed the first 600 North American cars had already been built and delivered (given that I have seen VIN in the high 580's) and that new cars arriving would be 600+. I had assumed the big gaps in my database were simply cars that had been sold that I had never seen.

Of course I don't know what it all really means but the bottom line is I have yet to see a car beyond the orig 600 allocation. It will be interesting to see what these September, October and November cars tell us.

You probably won't see any PTS cars for a while - I had to delete sport bucket sea option to get it in time for summer. PTS would have pushed my order to winter delivery... Drove for the first time last Friday - People can't believe how cheap it was when they see how exotic it looks.

This is just a theory but it would seem possible that the LWB issue is driving some of this confusion. I was also a believer that there were 600 original allocation which corresponded to deliveries through 2015. The LWB shortage definitely caused a huge shuffle in production timing for allocations. Many people got pushed out and many got pulled in. It is even possible that when an allocation is given it is immediately tied to the serial number in the Porsche system. I think that PCNA were holding small batches from the original 600 to use for for the monthly sales challenges. Then when the LWB shortage happened there was a push to give those out to new buyers with a stipulation of no-LWB and could explain the long dry spell in allocations. BTW, I am super happy with my non-LWB allocation!

I do not know what it means, but so far I have not seen an LWB car with a VIN over 197275.
