Last GT3's Built
Should we assume that the last group of GT3 cars being built should avoid most of the issue's that have been documented up until now? Has PAG learned enough of anything in order to make small positive changes? I realize most car manufacturer's can have issue's, recalls, etc..... Also, how quickly do you think PAG finds out about these issue's, regardless whether small or not, eg... paint issue's, missing PDK S button, engine problems, etc...

I think the forum is a good resource for the buyer to know what to look for at time of delivery.
Issues that do not have a fix-it campaign like the paint defects or the missing PDK-S button could happen to any car. Any dealer can forget to remove the transport blocks. Pay close attention during delivery, do a good inspection and document issues found with your dealer.
As for issues where Porsche has already issued a fix-it campaign like the thermostats and cam position sensors, these are unlikely to be found in this final batch of deliveries. Note that a supplier can deliver a defective batch of components at any time and if batch testing, hot motor testing, or limited operation of the car at the factory misses it a new and different issue can escape out into the field.
Inspect it, sign for it, and drive it. Warrany will take care of any little annoyances.
