Yes, Excited to see when the first from this Lyra Leader batch hears something.. I quit bugging my dealer last week.. Heard some videos of these running on the street w/ Sharkwerks bypass.. Dang.. What did I get into.. Getting scarred. Not sure I can be trusted to drive this on the public roads.. Especially since my only exp has been a 2 minute test drive in an 997.2 RS which included a massive under steer slide out.. LOL ....Ship looks long gone on the Pacific..
.. I'm sure you've seen this one..

Leilani, just to add to what Jeff already said, my car is in the same place; cleared PDI waiting for transport. I've heard that Porsche arranges special transport for the GT3...presumably in enclosed transporters. If that's true, it may be a matter of getting a full truckload of cars together headed for the same dealers to make it worthwhile. Just speculating....the whole process seems pretty mysterious.....

This wait is so agonizing...it is all so mysterious. After tracking every hour if its trans-Atlantic voyage, it is very anti-climactic to be just waiting in this vortex! Wish we could get a better update!!

16 days over the holiday probably equates to 10 non holiday. You'll see it very soon I'm guessing.

You are probably right on the trucking. Mine was delivered in an enclosed trailer and they had a full load of six GT3s for the chicago area. It had a nice tailgate lift for the cars to offload.... no ramp to clear.

Good luck guys! It sounds like any day now.
