Nonsense?
Well- I was tired when I posted yesterday
from traveling all day, so saying FACT, was
probably a little much. So my appologies,
I have cited my references here and I have
been as transparent as I can be. Loess had
some pretty detailed numbers, so I've used
them as is. In the past others have gotten
some really detailed PCNA information from
inside somehow, I just assumed this was the
case with Loess.

'stop sale', the '15 pts moratorium, the quality control
issues that popped up, the 30 PTS late production '15
gt3 (in three test colors to check if QC was acceptable)
& that there was no PTS in '16 for the last .1 991 gt3s.
And that the .1 991 gt3 RS run did benefit from whatever
improvements were made on the PTS process after the
moratorium.
But we don't know if we can take the example set by
the many PTS '16 .1 991 gt3 RS as a useful illustration
to extrapolate that is how we will see PTS in the .2 991
gt3!
You can...but I wouldn't.
Anyways, this is all nonsense arguments when nobody
knows what is really going on in the inner workings at
PAG PTS production. I think it's down to PAG shop floor
supervisors and managers making the decisions and
who knows why!
Meanwhile we keep waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Andre, many of us here have been trying to figure out a
pattern of how PTS works at PAG & have been documenting/
clarifying 'it' at our forums so that readers of Rennlist
(if they so choose) can best take advantage of this rare
option. I have tried to play a constructive part in all of
this effort. And I hope some appreciate it. And I don't
consider it 'nonsense'!

I'm actually automotive photographer + car journalist so I got to meet some Porsche Exclusive people during the IAA press days in Frankfurt.
I just asked if there was any chance to get rid of the aluminum gear **** and get something either black or in carbon fiber since my specs are rather dark. A few days later I got an email offering >>>
Gear Shift lever personalised: Alcantara Black, stitching Guards Red
Trim: Carbon
Price: 615,00 EUR + VAT
-----
Porsche Code >>> PJHVADE0 ( but order is locked and the dedicated Porsche Code page won't open since the PTS order redirects me to a 404 ERROR form
)
-----
Thank you SPORTSCENTURY for the kind words

PTS is cancelled for me. Could not get a PTS standard GT3 with manual slot anytime soon before maybe late next year. Going touring and consistent with comments on here, there is no PTS with touring and if it was, would "guess" very much towards end of GT3 run.
Ill leave my PTS dream for something else.
PS, one thing with this PTS and CXX and what a PITA it is, only reinforces my reaction to go basic and do anything individual / unique with aftermarket guys. Less $ in Porsche coffers but they don't want my $ anyways.

Whatever...
You must have missed my post on the .1 991 gt3
'stop sale', the '15 pts moratorium, the quality control

Nonsense by whom? Before you started keeping this list,

So I know you don't like Pinot's like Karen, but I will double down, so to speak, with a nice 12 Pinot for Karen and a nice Dunham Cellars Cabernet for you if I loose our bet!

In Australia. Across the country I understand (confirmed few different sources) we have had five allocations for PTS but all went to PDK about a month ago when none of us could lock in a manual. So was either go PDK with PTS or wait. Since then no further PTS allocations and confirmation the touring pack was a no go as well. So to be clear I cancelled my PTS request as porsche could not confirm I could get a car with a manual and also PTS. The risk is, that as I wait in line for the PTS spot to open up, others jump ahead and the dealer has a limited amount of allocations, so could end up missing out on a vehicle all together or next best still be waiting for a car next late next year.
I really wanted PTS but the unknown, the chopping and changing and just simply being a PITA to order balanced up against just getting a car and getting out and driving (I'm in a 997 GT3 and 911 50th atm) weighed more strongly. For me this was a car i ordered in 2015... some say whats another year, but to be honest, bit over it.
