Default The Eagle has landed!

Years, months, weeks, and now down to hours. Car arrived at dealership this am. I drove over to give them my new plate/paperwork (and let’s be honest - to see it.). I asked and they no longer get window sticker as apparently they no longer print them. Car is beautiful. Hopefully driving it by the weekend. 👍.

Congrats! Long wait but I'm sure it will be well worth it! Can't wait for mine to show up, hopefully not too far behind you!

So....if we were on the same boat across...but purchased from different dealerships...is it reasonable to assume that my car should hit my dealer today?? Congrats btw

I hope this does, looks like ISPYA718's Spyder was accompanied by a new Cayenne and 992; either PCC is moving everyone's cars as quick as possible, or his dealer pulled some strings to get their cars in ahead of everyone else. I'm hoping for the former and my GT4 is somewhere in Manitoba or Saskatchewan by now.

@ISPYA718 , did your dealer show you the final build schedule? Curious to see when your Spyder was ready for transport and when it left Halifax; the latest update I have is that mine was ready for transport on Monday, but no actual date for leaving Halifax as of Tuesday.

Definitely more raw than the GTS and well Ferrari got to love the screamers. BTW I can attest it gets louder during break in as mentioned by others. Sound is not an issue for me or any others who have heard it wail.

Great to hear - no pun intended. Looking forward to putting in a lot of miles early. We have had great convertible weather lately.

Stunning! Congratulations!

What interior trim did you spec? Hard to tell through the window, but seems like its black aluminum or leather?

Than you. Black/Silver stitching with silver sear belts. I started with painted GB interior, then toyed with carbon fibre, and ended up with leather. It’s probably an age thing. I’ve always loved leather interior in my cars. And besides after long drives with the top down, my skin should match the leather.
