Production timing is very volatile right now and keeps being reshuffled every few days on all GT cars due to PTS volume and special production models (like the Exc Series and new Turbo Saffron paint process), or so I hear...
well my (confirmed) ED date of 5/22 is cancelled as of now.

So followed up w my SA and I just went from V220 to V250 in one day with my delivery st dealer date going from 5/25 to 6/1. So slight push back but not much. Very pumped about this car! Feel fortunate. March build.

Interesting. I have an 4/6 build with 6/1 delivery last I checked. I wonder if it's moved...

Well guys I am out. My GT3 PTS Voodoo went from March build April delivery to June build August delivery over the last two months. I decided this week to give the allocation back to the dealer to pursue the RS allocation once he receives those (hopefully on Monday). I have zero faith the GT3 was not going to be moved back again as it has so many times. Plus don’t really want to wait until August to get a car and then get the RS end of year or thereabouts. So I am jumping into a manual Boxster GTS for Spring through winter to await the GT3RS. I know they are very different cars (GT3 vs Boxster GTS) but I need something now that is fun to drive. Maybe me bailing on the GT3 will make someone else very very happy. Now if the RS allocations come in and I am waiting until next Spring, at least I am in something for a year that will be enjoyable to drive.

Wow. I went from a November delivery to September. Sounds like a lot of BS floating out there

I got my allocation 2 weeks ago and it went to V200 last 03/14. Expected to enter production on 5/4 with 6/29 delivery date. Let us see what will happen. My 2 previous experiences with Porsche production schedules were off by 1 week, gave or take. But regarding ED with Porsche, it's a hit or miss. It is hard to get the date that you prefer. I gave them 9 months in advance but still they were not able to provide that date that I requested. In contrast, early this month, I ask my BMW dealer for an M3 ED delivery on May this year and everything were finalized in a week with the date I requested. I will just do a Porsche Museum and factory tour. I just hope that my GT3T is past that stage when I am doing the factory tour.

Did you ever hit V250 and if so what was the earliest date ? I assume once you hit V250 build is locked and you go into production on or near that scheduled date.

I called PCNA and received news that our planned European delivery of our PTS Maritime GT3 is now pushed back from May to June.
Will keep you guys posted of any new developments...

prior to 3/30 is "safe" ... anyone thereafter will potentially be impacted.

hope this is useful for others...

YMMV
I'm kind of worried now. Last time I checked (3/8) V300 for me was planned for 3/30 (expected 3/23), should I be ok?

My PTS manual car went from May build/June delivery to Aug build/Sept delivery. When I ordered it the assumption was that it would be a Q1 build, so I traded the RS in December - oops! The only good news is that I still have PTS. I keep reminding myself that this is a first world problem!
