Here's a link to the site Nick posted those pages from for anyone who's interested.

According to Porsche, there have been improvements made to the system for the 991 GT3. For example, the article states a lift time of 4 seconds. Several of us have timed the lift in our cars at under 2 seconds. Of course, that's when it's working. I'm guessing RUF's current lift time is approximately infinite....

Well...at long last, an update and hopefully a positive resolution. Long story short, after replacing the 'entire' lift system, and finding that it did not fix the issue, they finally isolated a leak in the system at the driver's side front strut.
The entire strut needing replacing, which of course, took 10 days to get from Germany, and THAT was with PCNA expediting the process....
The strut was replaced on Friday, and they are keeping the car until Tuesday to make sure they don't give it back until it is REALLY fixed.
PCNA has been very helpful in getting this issue resolved, and has agreed to adequate compensation for loss of use.
IF the car really is ready on Tuesday, it will nearly be a month in the shop for this issue...I've forgotten how great the car is. Hopefully, I will fall in love again soon....
