Not everyone... those that have driven Race 2's on the track have been very complimentary of them, me included.

Let us know if yours gets pushed out too... I'm curious if it's an optioned part that myself and BillBoss are waiting on, or if it's a standard part that everyone will be affected by... assuming that the delay is due to a missing part.
A similar change. Got pushed out from 3/16 to 4/7 completion date. Something going on. I don't have any CXX.

I don't even see my order anymore when I login to MyPorsche... LOL...

Edit - nevermind it's back up. My delivery date did move up a few days though...

Edit - It's back down again - I don't see my order again.

I’ve been tracking it. Just made a brief stop in Georgia. Looks like the next stop may be Santa Marta, Columbia. I’m guessing it’ll go through the canal and up to CA from there. My TYD shows a Northern CA port entry of 3/30. Seems reasonable.

Damn...there is no way that the ETA to San Diego is correct then. It says for me 3/23. I just saw it says it's supposed to be in Santa Marta by 3/19, then still has to unload, go through the canal and up the coast of Mexico. I'm guessing it won't get to San Diego until 3/27 at the earliest. But maybe it will travel faster the lighter the load after all those stops. I don't know. Goddamnit Porsche. Just give me a reasonable time frame, 3 or 4 days isn't much but it's just frustrating this constant movement of timelines.

We have found from experience, time frames are not in concrete, but estimates as there are too many variables especially in the world today. Weather alone can add days onto a delivery date. Our 992 sat in the San Diego port for 90 days for EPA certification. Our 718 GTS 4.0 actually arrived a month early. It will be over sooner or later. Good Luck.

Finally got my allocation for a CGTS 4.0 last week, but the Extended Deviated Stitching package and Aventurine Green were rejected.
Today went in and changed the spec to GT Silver with Black/Bordeaux leather - dealer system confirmed I am now at V200 - TGFT!!
Build date - first week of June; Delivery - late July - we'll see how those morphs over time!
Just have to get on TYD now!

Congrats! Going to be spectacular!

Anyone have a list of current options that are not available? So we have extended deviated stitching, aventurine green, LWB, CCB, anything else?

Super happy that buckets came back on the menu before my freeze date of 4/11. Got it reconfigured for accuracy

Default Changes after Freeze Date

Hello everyone, finally excited to be here in the waiting room. Have a GT4 on order, and I was wondering how many have made changes after the freeze date? Is it possible to do so? With the bucket seats coming back recently I want to see if I can make the change, my freeze date was March 5th. I also want to change the brake colors to black instead of red.

Generally speaking you can't make changes after the freeze date.
But - with that being said I've heard of some people being able to successfully do so with "small" changes. Don't ask me what constitutes a "small change" though.
The best person to talk to regarding this would be your SA though...
