i don't need to hold my breath. i've bought 9 cars from them in 3 years and referred like 20 sales to them in the same period... i'll be the first to get a car from them after 918 buyers. when orders open, i'll place it. i hope it's late 2021.

I was simply stating Porsche isn’t going to tell your sales guy anything, that’s all.

he said they will bend over backwards on this car for people they know will drive it. they don't want garage queens on this one, as it's the closest thing they'll be able to sell to porsche customer racing/clubsport program. basically, this will be much nearer to a 718 clubsport than a GT3RS is to a GT3 Cup.

just spoke to my dealer. so they have no official allocations yet, as you all know. I am number 3 on their list. The other 2 were 918 buyers/customers out of state. He said there is still the 10 year grandfather rule that 918 buyers get preference on all allocations. He said he is going to call NA ordering to see if theres any updates and call me back. he said he expects it to be a summer/fall 2021 car. he said they will bend over backwards on this car for people they know will drive it. they don't want garage queens on this one, as it's the closest thing they'll be able to sell to porsche customer racing/clubsport program. basically, this will be much nearer to a 718 clubsport than a GT3RS is to a GT3 Cup.
For every VIP that buys the RS cars to drive, there are two that buy them just to stick them in a hangar somewhere and sell them three years later with 2,000 miles on them.

Was his nose growing when he told you that bolded part? Porsche and it's minions are totally full of shiite when they say stuff like this. They've said it for years and yet they still allow VIPs (both 918 guys and others) who intend to barely drive the cars get the first spots in line. I'll believe this one when I see it. And when I don't see dozens of used GT4RS's for sale with 3,000 miles five years from now...

The production delay could be 2 months, maybe.....my GT4 PDK allocation was supposed to be September and got moved to November.
We are all recycling rumors about the car, specs, launch dates etc.....not enough facts. When Porsche publishes launch dates I'll believe

i have nothing to brag about. my point is just people act like it's impossible. these are the same people who who buy every car from a different dealer every time to save $500-$1,000. send your SA a bottle of wine once in a while. build relationships. stay loyal. it'll get reciprocated.

I don't have that problem...there's only one dealer in the whole Island!

You can't launch a car without proper testing and the black car is not being submitted to the usual testing for production cars...including GT/GTRSs. No way they could had launched in 2020 and with the GT4 PDK entering sales.

PDK - that was the only line that changed - the rest of the dates are still the same. Could be an error but time will tell. If mine gets delayed it’s fine as I can’t drive it in winter anyways. Earliest 2021 models can take delivery is 12/4 according to my SA via Porsche.
