Am i crazy in hoping for April PEC? I really want to use this car for Smokies GT in late April.
Delivery date will depend on how long the dealer was sitting on the allocation when he gave it to you. I had an allocation assigned to me in mid December with a build date of mid August. I don't know how long they were sitting on it before assigning to me. I too am in Smokies and I have written off any activity until late fall. I'm doing euro delivery and after returning the car expect I will have another month before I see it again. Maybe longer.

Thanks. It’s a new allocation with build slot of May I was told today. I’ll just bring another car to Smokies this fall. Good luck on your order.

We did a private track day called a Test & Tune. It was just my brother and I and it was awesome. I did 62 laps. My left front is toast!

I bet! Got my allocation yesterday. $208k build! What kind of times were you seeing?

Interesting. You should see the estimated production date in My Porsche.

Congrats! You will not be disappointed. This car is a keeper. My best time was 1:22 flat with a top speed of 154mph down the straight. It was very consistent until the tires lost some grip. I ran 20 laps in a row in the 122s. There is quite a bit more time in the car, but I didn’t want to risk having an incident. Also, I only have an aggressive street set up as I drive it quite a bit (3500 miles in a little over a year). The platform also has some limitations as other posters have mentioned, but the car is fun as hell.

my build was just a shade under $200k with WP, PCCBs. For those of you looking to replace the plastic bits on your 4RS, I have confirmed that 1016 Industries is currently developing carbon fiber pieces to replace the front splitter, rear diffuser, etc; similar to what they have done for the 992 GT3. I can’t wait. Replacing the plastic with carbon fiber will look amazing on this car. It will also hold up better as the plastic front splitter already has a 100 little nicks from street and track driving.

Yes, I highly doubt I would go 10/10 with a 4RS either. When I used to track street cars, I would run about 2-2.5 camber at the most so I didn't chew up the tires on the street. But even with that, it felt like the car was on rails. Just for comparison at RRR, top speeds for 997.1 RS was around 140 and 997.2 around 145-150. 154 is fast! I live close to RRR...I can hear the cars from my house.

I hope you are right about 2025 MY, when they pulled the GT4 and the Spyder, they didn't give any notice and many were left out to dry...

Isn't the factory closed in August every year? I think they will pull ahead the orders currently showing build dates in August 2024.

FYI, I’m in Canada, and my dealer called me last Friday to confirm an “allocation”, they are expecting 1-2 allocations this year which are not in the system yet. Expecting them to come in Q2

More than likely bonus allocations that usually happen each MY- good news - if production is running good so they can fit in some additional builds.
