Crossing my fingers for a call soon. How long ago did you put the deposit down?

Thanks and yes, the 2 way compared to the 18 way. The latter does not have the electronics/motors for movement, etc. so I thought the 2 ways might be lower. And PTS is not available so instead of waiting for a 22 model I am going with Yellow.

That’s ok, I’ve only been waiting for this car since I was 10 years old. A few more months shouldn’t matter, right???

May build, nice, so june/july delivery? Good to see it's still summer deliveries. Did you buy through a big dealer?

I'll probably call next week then for an update. The dealer I'm dealing with isn't huge, but isn't tiny either so I'm crossing my fingers I get that call this month.

Fun story: I'm down in Palm Springs vacationing with a group of our close friends (one of whom is a big Porsche guy and owner of a really nice 991.2 CGTS). Today we decided to cruise over to Porsche of Palm Springs. After being completely ignored for at least 30 minutes, I approached someone and asked to speak to a sales person. The guy who ended up "helping us" couldn't be less interested in doing so. I explained my interest in his ability to source a GT4 allocation (and mentioned that I've been sitting on a few lists for quite some time) and without missing a beat, he said: "You're not going to get a car. They're done building the GT4. Production stopped earlier this month, and they're moving on to the new GT3 since they don't build more than 1 GT model at a time".

I explained that I've been patiently waiting for a GT4 allocation and have been in regular contact with several dealers in the PNW, and without missing a beat, he said: "You're not going to get a car.

But they are building Spyders...

Here's my hot of the press report - My SA called me back today and explained that 2 allocation spots opened up for Spyders today, after waiting with no spots opening up for well over a month, and that the 2 guys in front of me got to order their cars. Great for them. He told me that I am currently #1 or #2 in line when the next allocation spots open up, and that delivery lead time was almost 5 months for the 2 cars ordered today.

****, I can't believe they'd discontinue the GT3 after only a few months. It just came out. Seems really weird that they'd do so, but I guess if they only make 1 GT model at a time and the GT4 RS is coming out this summer they must be ending GT3 production in a few months.


...you should have asked him if he needed to finish detailing cars or if he could track down a product expert for you.

Rumor is there is one round of allocations this year for the GT3. More next year but just one round this year.

Why we talking about GT3, this is a GT4 allocation thread.
