Let's all (Cat A and B) ask PCNA and our dealers about the screens (WE21 campaign) as our re-delivery dates approach. Hopefully, the swell of requests lights some sort of urgency to make the campaign standard for all markets, including the US.

You'll see it. Just hang on man. You'll be happy.

Again congratulations bro. Mark
Yes sir, and thanks!! I'm not sure when were the digital pics sent to PAG so I really hope they are overnighting those silly stickers. I just hope they are here by Wednesday. I MUST go to the track Thursday or I'll have a stroke.

I haven't been reading this (very long) thread for a while. Could someone please summarize where things stand with respect to replacing engines, getting those cars back to customers, and building new cars? The idea of getting a 991 GT3 is growing on me, though the Cayman GT4 is looking promising too, and timing could be a factor.

Delivery to customers started (only a handful in the US thus far). Engine replacement ongoing. New car production resumed.

My car is at the factory as a 2014. Car was not fitted with an engine prior to stop sale. Subsequent to the stop sale Porsche went ahead and installed the defective engine. Why who knows but they are not the smartest people.

Latest discussion was my new engine will be fitted on July 13th with delivery sometime in September.

Congrats.

How did you find out?
did you get a call from the Dealer? or PCNA? or just call them or go to dealer?

My dealer is pretty busy, and don't seem to give me updates. I found out the car went to port a week after it was sent..
I think they lost a lot of enthusiasm when it was decided to do the work at the ports.

Well, you may be right. I tend to respond in haste sometimes, as work interferes!! Should have said new cars starting very soon.

Awesome, same boat as mine. No-one seems to know when my stickers arrive. Does your dealer know?

I went to dealer 6/20 ... spoke with service personnel who had just received e-mail earlier in day that GT3 was being loaded onto carrier, being delivered to Bucks County Porsche 6/21 ... think I may not known unless I personally interrogated service.

One snafu, my Bluetooth doesn't work ... dealer trying to get installed ASAP ... I want this remedied before redelivery at no additional cost.

Same here ... awaiting news on stickers ... assumption is that it'll be this week ... we'll see.

Thrilled to hear RS is 4.0 L NA .... I think this current base GT3 may be PLENTY sufficient for me though!
