Did we get final dates for press drives/embargos? Do I remember right that the press drive is in a week or two?

They are inserts that go into the stock seat. They can be removed and regular cushions put back.

Correct. End of Feb at Estoril. Don't know embargo date yet.

My impression is they’re custom made to each owner. Could be wrong but from what I read they’re a custom fit. A new owner can have their’s made for them. It seems to be a retrofit to older models also so if you get bored of the stock ones you can have new ones made.

They are custom because you can choose the firmness of the insert not because they do a seat insert specifically for you.....Suncoast has them.

Most of the interesting RLers from a couple of years ago no longer post and, similarly, I have had a growing disinterest/frustration with the forum. So I wish you all well and that you end up with the car of your dreams.
too bad this guy left, I always enjoyed reading his posts

Yeah well, some envious, jealous members doesn't like some here have connections and know stuff. 🤷🏻‍♂️

At times the hostility from jealousy is amazingly bad. One reason way back then, not long after the 918 came out, I got all, well most of the owners out of Rennlist to a private group chat.

My GT4RS now in limbo because of a PTS stop sale as of yesterday. I was told it could be a month, or...

Lock May(ish) for September build and October delivery. There's still time, I guess, but... this is so un-Porsche. For clarity - I was told there's a stop on PTS for ALL sportscars for time being, as of yesterday. This may or may not affect my car.

The current order stop on PTS affects all vehicles in the current model lineup, and notes that it is for all MY22 cars. Looks like no PTS for the rest of the model year.
