FWIW, a 991 GT3 showed up at Cars & Coffee this morning, so they're out there (again).

Any Cat 'B' folks with an update?

Being it looks like they are 2 weeks ahead of schedule I have to believe some early Cat 'B' people should start receiving their cars. If they are truly 2 weeks ahead of schedule I could see my car early Aug.(wishful thinking)-

My car was completed January 14th and was offloaded at the Port of Houston on February 11th (the day the stop sale order went out). It stayed at the Port until last week when it was shipped to Atlanta for the engine swap . According to the dealer, it was supposed to have arrived there yesterday (Monday, July 14th).

Assuming the swap gets done this week, my car should make it back to my dealer in Houston by the end of next week (July 25th) depending on return transport availability.

PCNA originally told me the "engine swap" date would be the week of July 14th, and the "available to deliver to me" date would be the week of August 11th.

Mine is a Cat B at the factory and it just got the engine installed. I still don't see it until September. Apparently they work Sundays. My completion date was 7/13.

Cat B here. The projected days are "engine delivery at port" 7-14 to 7-21. Projected delivery date is 8-14.

Engine is due to arrive this and my guess is I will have it on hand by 8-1.

Port Davisville RI.

Did they give you an exact date of 8/14? Was it PCNA or your dealer?

So far, I've only been given "week of" type of time frames.

Check my post in the Engine Swap thread--Ian told me that Cat B swaps are slated to begin next week!

Hang on, guys--almost there!

For those of you who want to try the 991 GT3 before delivery, exotic racing in las vegas just added it to the fleet. For a few hundred bucks, you can get a good taste of it on the track. Depending on who your instructor is, they will let you push it hard.
I tried almost all and found the 458 and the lp570 to be fun but the aventadore to be a bit heavy for my taste.
