I just finalized my build today with one last tweak. It didn’t affect the dates, so happy for that. The build date had already slipped from July 27 to August 30. I am still hoping to pick up a week and have it built before the holiday. I am a bit worried that the builders will have forgotten what they should be doing and it will be delivered with a bag of bolts that were left over after they finished. I guess on the flip side they could be distracted by dreaming about their upcoming vacation and not be focused on what they are doing. I had mentioned before that my 992 was delivered with a bad install of the windshield (very visible - one look and it could be seen). A guy in the 992 forum just received a 992 with the wrong color sunroof. I really would like to have a car roll off that was built correctly.

It can always be worse, they can deliver a car with a defective internal engine part such as connecting rods.
Can you imagine the tear down that is required to replace that?

Oh I realize it will not be a real world test drive. But I am selling a super fun M2 for this car. They are very different machines with very different motors. For twice the price I want to be sure I know what I am getting. It’s hard to commit to a car based on listening to YouTube reviews. I am sure a little seat time will be very helpful.
It all depends on what you want. I can tell you 2-3X the price does not equate 2-3X ‘better’.
Drive wheels, weight, engine placement, manual vs auto, NA vs turbo….They are all different in their own special way.
Worse case scenario, you can always sell your GT4 and get a M2CS. But I am guessing you will not be disappointed. Lots of BMW guys move over to Porsche and stay here.

Stopped by my dealer this weekend to check my status and change a couple of options (after much research here).
I'm V200 now with a lock on June 11. Build in July. Delivery late August. I was advised that delivery may be delayed slightly since I've opted for a PEC Atlanta delivery (I live in Atlanta).
I just added LWBS to my build. I would appreciate any suggestions on the build before it locks.

It's been great!
It is with joy that I report my departure from the waiting room. I took delivery of a GT Silver Spyder yesterday and spent the whole day driving while the sun burnt my skin. All I can say is that I already know it was worth the wait and the money, and I haven't crossed 4 krpm yet. That's exactly where you start to hear a resonance in the intake/exhaust, begging you to break the run-in rules specified in the manual. Getting to 3000 km without going over in revs is going to be tough. Wish me luck.
To all of you, I hope that Porsche gets all of their chips and con-rods sorted out, and that you are sitting where I am in no time!
