You are correct. Dealer text me this morning that I’m on Future Way. We’re on the same boat!

Excellent color combo! I'm going to dread getting and then giving back up my 4RS when it arrives for PPF.

are they going to paint the missed spots? That seems cheap for such a marquee car.

No way Porsche paints these areas after the fact, you're kidding if you think that's a battle you can win. Just shows the quality is higher on Zuff cars that were made in 2023 and some of 24 before the switch over. I know if I was in the market for a used 4RS I'd be looking for a Zuff car.

Ship Emden and Wolfsburg are both set to arrive in Emden port this coming weekend. Hopefully the few of us waiting at port will catch one of these two on the next ride out

Does it affect the way it drives, no, but it's something I would notice every single time I looked at it.

My previous 981 GT4 was built in Osnabrück and it was perfect, as is the RS that replaced it.

I know of Zuffenhausen built RSs that had early break-in total engine failures. Covered by warranty of course. It happens...
