I got my paint shop picture first, and also on a Friday, but didn't receive the others until the following Monday. Since you got your first picture today, I'd assume your other pictures will follow suit.

It's now my time to leave this thread! Deposit was made in April 2021 and I finally received the car yesterday. I couldn't be happier, spent the whole evening driving and getting to know the car, it was quite amazing. Now I just need to put some miles on it for the engine break-in before having some real fun!

Hope you all have better luck than I did. Had my GT4 for 3 days before I tried the AC. Dead on arrival. It's been at the dealer for over a week and they finally located the leak today. Parts won't be in until next week. They've had my car torn apart for longer than I got to drive it.

Makes me feel really happy about the money I paid for a pdi that was half done at best. 1.5hrs each way to return the car.

Terrible! How could they have missed that!?

Sorry, on the positive side you're getting through the break-in miles with each trip. Hope they fix it quickly.

I assumed that it was on the Sunshine Ace because it was the only ship on the VW schedule going to Houston at the moment. I also went into the code on the TYD page to verify (right-click -> inspect -> network tab -> refreshed page -> and found ship code "IMO_9338852")

Thanks. Glad you saw it on your TYD page. Hope all of us with Houston bound Porsches make/made it on, too. Fortunately, I believe there are two more ships heading to Houston from Emden in the next 10 days or so. Hopefully, all of us with Houston bound Porsches that are currently at Emden will have our cars on one or the other of them.

God bless you,
TT

Love the evening pic!
Congrats! 13 months from deposit is long. I'll be 12 months by the time I take delivery in about a week.
I plan on driving mine back home from PECATL which is 1100 miles - so my break in period will be dissolved within 2 days

She's a beauty. Do the intake scoops have GT4 embossed into them? Hard to tell.

Doh... Is it the front shot from the paint booth?
I'm just glad I got this one to verify my interior options were applied.
: )

On a good note... my dates are still sticking so far.

Yes, the front shot from the paint booth was first for me. Good on your dates.

Thank you! *25 months hahah, but at this point it does not really matter
Wishing you a good delivery at PECATL, that experience should be pretty amazing.

Thank you! Yes, really subtle but they are embossed.
