I have exited the waiting room. @electron mike owe you a couple beers whenever we meet, appreciate the lead on the allocation. I imagine our paths will cross at the track sometime in the next year. @TXshaggy @islackmore thx for the PDK test drives. My SA was incredible. Will post up pics in a few days, too busy driving this thing right now. Expectations were high, and it exceeds them.

TYD still shows my GTS with a freeze date of December 3, but it actually became Scheduled for Production on November 8.

If you're still pondering configuration changes based on the TYD freeze date, you may be surprised.

Well folks, another happy customer exiting the waiting room. Picked up my baby from Porsche of Englewood this morning. Driving home to Albuquerque for the next three days, this thing is amazing. Hang in there, your day will come and it will be WORTH THE WAIT!

Maybe due to the chip shortage, I can get them to fit mine with a hydraulic rack...
So my car came with a legit manual tilt, telescope steering column.

Is that standard for a GT4? If not, they're gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

The GT cars only have the manual rack. Think the GTS and below get a powered rack with Comfort Entry...but not sure.

Did you drive it home or ship?

Ah, I thought I got lucky.

Still halfway across the states. Going to drive it home, will post a couple pics when I get in.

The brochure on my GTS says:
• GT Sport Steering Wheel with manual fore/aft and height adjustment

I was just in my friend's '21 GTS and it has electronic fore/aft. It's a higher optioned car than mine.

If you option 18-way seats, you get electric wheel adjustment. 4 Ways and LWB comes with manual adjustments

I applied Track Armour to most of the front nose as best I could to protect it on the trip home to Albuquerque. I also performed the first mod (DSC Sport controller install) within 15 minutes of delivery in the dealership parking lot. If nothing else it entertained a few folks at the dealership on a Saturday morning and a couple of really nice locals stopped to chat while I was prepping the car for the journey.
