Hmm. Mine is GB, black wheels, black stitch, buckets, manual, couple CXX (just washer nozzles and stitched vents). Custom Tailoring took less than 24 hours of additional time.

Sorry... thought the comparative data would be helpful. :/

I was originally November 2017 delivery, then peaked at August 2018 delivery, and now landed at late April. Rollercoaster.

Just messing with ya. Happy for you. Would love to see some pics when it gets to you. I have no idea when I'll see mine. I assume some time in May at this point.

Soulsea - To answer your question, as I recall reading in another thread, the reason Porsche is making all the GT3's 2018 builds has to do with the ever-tightening European emission restrictions with MY 2019. In order to squeeze in as many GT3s as possible, they are making them all '18s instead of doing what is traditionally done which is switch to the next MY around September.

I assume you are V215...

Thanks for the PM's and updates. List is updated.

No for the GT3. Though I'm cautiously optimistic it might briefly open Q4 2018 or Q1 2019 for the RS... Just wishful thinking...

I personally had a conversation with someone who would know and the answer was that there is no expectation that PTS will be available on the RS

I wasn't make a statement of fact. I've also had face to face conversations with the same type of people. They say right now "no RS PTS". Its smart of them really, to tell everyone "no" without any PTS hope in the future so people don't pass on the first batch of allocations and wait to get PTS one next year.
PTS wasn't supposed to be available at all in the Touring either. PAG, PCNA, dealers, everyone, said "no", "never", "no a chance". Then out of nowhere PTS for Tourings became available for a short time.
Porsche Exclusive is not closing up shop next year. Porsche allowed everyone to get PTS on a first come basis with the GT3 until full to capacity. So much that they cannot offer it on any other model. Plus the special production models like the Exc series and new Turbo Saffron paint process also slowed things down.
I would deduce that once GT3 production finishes this year, Porsche will have available room once again to offer PTS and CXX, which will then be available for the RS if its production continues into 2019.
But who knows, there may not be anymore allocations in 2019 or the world may end...
