Only thing that didn't make sense of that memo was the PNA's excitement for what? 8 GT3 to be spread over the entire USA?

It was only for the Los Angeles dealer region. They are PTS slots. Maybe each region will get some bones.

If there are 2019 models, obviously will make a small run of them like 2016

One thing for sure, I can assure you it was real, if I'm going to fabricate copy and paste and troll a fake memo it's going to be a lot more exciting then additional paint to sample cars available, I would have made it real juicy and not only would there have been 5,000 more gt2rs produced you would have got a Asian rubby rubby included with every purchase. I don't see the thought process on thinking it's a fake and fabricated trolled memo. I'm never going to release the source but it came from the general manager himself I just cropped his name out of it to protect the identity

There will likely be some more MY 2019 bonus allocations coming. They aren't going to make only a few 2019's that are pushed back 2018 allocations.

Goin2drt explained the situation in the "new gt3/gt2rs leads" thread ^^^^. Much ado about nothing.

Attachment 1291818
While the memo states that production has been extended into January/February 2019(in small quantities), it does not refer to them as additional allocations, but as slots. Likely meaning that PAG/Factory can handle additional PTS slots for existing allocations, and would therefore move “these (existing) orders” to those new dates as per the memo. So no additional allocations, just additional PTS slots allow for existing allocations (which could not get PTS before since PTS capacity was full), and the only way to do so is to move production to 2019. Having personally gone through the PTS process with PCNA and Exclusive, they always referred to allocations (build) and PTS slots (PTS factory capacity) as 2 different things. Reading comprehension can be tricky for some at times.

Agree, point being if they're going to be MY 2019's, will "likely" be more allocations coming. That's how PAG works. Always something extra. Look at past history, comprehension of learning by looking at the past can also be tricky. Same goes with learning the games and tricks.

Anything is possible. I would agree with you, but depends on how they will manage to get them to show as MY19, instead of MY18. If they completely get a new carb/emissions certification for them as 2019 GT2RS/GT3, then probably more allocations will come depending on 992 production. But if they are getting them done as MY19 due to some technicality or waiver then no more allocations for 2019. But then all this is pure speculation rather than interpreting an actual memo. Big difference between the two.

I'll vouch for this. Interesting to see how Big Brother is watching!

Bingo, I don't get the top secret stuff...we are talking about cars not classified gov't files. I hope Porsche builds many GT2RSs and GT3s in 2019 so more people can have them at reasonable prices. Those guys thinking that there are only going to be a few hundred GT2RSs in the US must be sweating it out now. haha

Wasn't the initial rumored number 600-800 2RS's for the US? I don't recall seeing any posts saying only a few hundred. The 997 GT2RS was limited and we saw ~ 150 of those in the US. We may get up to 1k units here, but I don't believe it will be much higher than that. I've heard 1.5-2k units in the US for the .2 3RS depending on how many allocations they can fit in from Jan-June 2019. I totally agree that they should make as many as possible to bring these ADMs down. Greedy dealers and flippers are the only ones that gain from ADMs. PAG should make MSRP on these $500k and give back $150k if you keep the car for 2 years. That would deter all the flippers and greedy dealers.
