If they're going to build RSs that soon, then PAG should get it on the configurator asap. I doubt that many RS buyers trust AP to pick their options.

There won't be that many RS buyers if they only do 600 for the world. And how many of those will be going to the VIP program and to 918 owners. Not much of a need to get them on the config setup if John Q Public can't get one anyway... The RS buyers will get the call from the stealership and they will go pick out their stuff.

My factory build date pushed out once by about a month to 12/19, and as of today it is still stable there (didn't get pushed to January). With buckets of course.

I was informed of the email today as well. However, my delivery date of 1/30 was not changed. I also specced buckets. However, I'm not getting my hopes up.

My build is still on target for later this month, with delivery in January. My SA said he had 3 cars with the buckets, only mine hasn't been pushed.

That the exact same date I got, assuming no push back. V210 is a soft lock. There may be a few days to makes changes before final V220.

Originally Nov 7th lock with buckets. i went V250 yesterday. Confirmed to be one of the VIN's not on the list of delayed cars. 5 or 6 other at Champion were delayed....by like 3 months. Feel bad for those guys!
If car goes as scheduled could be mid December if it catches that last boat in November to Brunswick.

My bucket seat equipped GT3 got pushed from early Feb. to April 3 (at least not April 1). Lock in date moved from 10/31 to 12/05.

I just spoke with Ian at PCNA, confirmed 101 orders are affected by the delay, he could not find my build on the list and has sent a request to production for my build schedule.

Hope to get an update by week's end.

He got back to me earlier in the day in about 20 minutes. Very very nice service.

I have buckets with a 1/23 delivery date and got pushed to 1/30, which is not too bad. My dealer did say that others were pushed all the way to March.
