Yeh but the amount of wealth created here in the last year is ridiculous, in comparison. Keeping Politics out of it - it has been a great ride if you jumped on it

So a no brainer for Porsche regardless of the fact that no one can walk into a dealer and buy one.
Hey I hope you are right and they fast track my touring since so many people are going pts !

I just think the debate back and forth is silly, no one really knows it’s all speculation.

I think others have said, the best way to get a spot is to get to know your dealer and have them know you.

A couple of smaller dealers I've dealt with have flatly stated to me that whilst the odd new allocation may be handed out by pcna, it'll most likely go to the larger dealers.
There is little chance of large batches of allocations (like the current ones) being handed to dealers.

I doubt your build date will move and if you have that you should know when you get your car.

It would appear rennlist user "Loess" has the low down on VIN production. That would give considerable fact to the amount of GT3's headed for North America. I think he's posted something like of the 360 made to date for North America 24 are Canadian cars.
WRONG!!
New limited allocations will be available, perhaps sooner than later in Canada.
