Yeah, I suspect the only time it won't be a slow trickle is if they decide to increase MY2016 production into calendar year 2016 (so far, no production starts are planned beyond December 2015). If that happens, they might dish out a sizable batch again.

I doubt it. But I do hope.

Rockit or Greenlantern,
Have either of you guys heard of any allocations come to anyone yet after the initial wave?
Thanks

I haven't heard of any additional allocs coming out after the initial 918 and first wave(s).

Everything that's "trickled in" has either been dealers (GM's or GSM's) sitting on allocs without giving them out immediately, then finally handing them out to folks who were on the wait list, or regional reps sitting on some allocs, and then handing them out sparingly to dealers that meet certain sales quotas (as a reward).

Got it. Well lets hope we all get one before the end of the month

To be honest, I'll be happy to get an alloc before the end of MY2016 / the end of the 991.1 generation.

I'll just be happy to get one. Earlier the better to rest easy and hope for PTS.

PTS department let me know today that they will know more Tuesday. But this looks nice to me.
Don't mess with PTS on this one. You have good timing for ED.

Take the Barney and put in an order for another allocation in next wave. Drive Barney while you wait for PTS delivery then sell Barney for more than you paid.

Expect next round of allocations 4Q15 with deliveries in 1Q16.

I believe you can't pick 'em (like you can with the 981.1 Cayman GT4). They're Black for all colors but UV; for UV they're Silver.

I would too.

Easier then fighting for an allocation and getting the run around..

Pete. UV works well with all the black detailing IMO. I think it's a good choice...

I'm not delaying ED for PTS anymore, I'm running out of time and have tracks to hit in Europe. I will get final pickup date today I was promised (Tik tak).. Oct - Nov - Dec is short enough time to hit as many tracks as possible in the allowable 4000 miles... I considered December / January PTS for second wave allocations but the weather could be just as bad over the Alps until April.... I'll get a GT4 and do it again if I cant get it out of my system this fall.

I may end up with a GT4 if the PDK thing gets old. Going to Atlanta after next week to test drive one with LWB :-)

Actually not normal silver like optional silver wheels on other colors but "Matte aluminium"

Both to drive and look at, its the new Fiat. looks and priced obnoxious in any color.. Seen the wing, I mean the wing! Corvette like black air intakes everywhere.. Only to drive it will still feel like a Porsche according to the writers and video's and it wont fall apart on track.

Good to have you pack here on these pages the last weeks Macca
Purple because you cant see yellowing clear bra, matches intakes better without completely hiding the car with black and black wheels. The wheels are crazy and beautiful in real life, I have to go silver!

With my I phone in the bright blue sky Florida sun this sunrise.
