Hats off to you and i agree with your thinking. Fu Fu options can be had in a Range Rover or Turbo S! This thing is all about going fast. Enjoy it. Jealous..

Congrats to the buyer for getting such an early car! My freind’s one won’t be built until July I think.

Best part is that it's an MSRP car too. PNH FTW!

Nothing wrong with GT silver. Classic color, looks great on GT3. Will go great with the green in your garage. 4S Car looks great.

I tried to do PTS on GT3 touring, but my build was too early, so went SBM.

Great color also. Love more reports on driving the 2RS. What an incredible car. Report back please. Have you picked it up or is it still getting prepped?

Yes, it is an MSRP car. But I didn't even know there were non MSRP cars until I read about them on this board. PNH sells all their cars at MSRP because their focus is the customer. And I'm not a 918 guy. I've just had a relationship with the dealer - they've always treated me like a VIP so I've just bought cars from them. They've been fair selling me cars and been fair buying them back. When a VIP wanted to move his build to the end of the production cycle, Billy Bennett and Gerald Tito called me and asked if I'd like an early car. My car has been in Houston for nearly a month, it had been stuck at the port for about a month and I'd get a texts from Gerald and Billy daily about it. They finally rescued it.

I'm thrilled to have the car, but bummed about the daily jokes about customs taking my car for a spin or the ferris bueller meme. Not only do they have a good sense of humor, they are a truly a customer focused dealer, and when you have that right, people buy cars there, which results in more allocations. When I had trouble with my land rover recently, Billy found someone to fix it at their Lambo store who is land rover certified, picked up the car, and fixed it. Different dealer, different cost center, but same customer - that's their focus.

Completely second that. I would never buy a Porsche anywhere else even if I lived anywhere else (unles the people left and went somewhere else). The service department led by Mike Yale is absolutely first class too. Tito told me my 4S came from a great home. Glad to confirm.

I could not agree more. PNH has treated me like a king since day one & believe me I'm a small fry. Everyone there is super friendly & the service department has come through on many occasions including dealing with my Mercedes. I enjoy hanging with all the sales guys & special thanks to Roger who has always taken care of me.

Roger is a good dude as well. He and Tito are the gray beards there.
