Love the black. It's about time we see pictures again. Wonder why US delivery is 3 months after europeans I feel neglected.

I am jealous - tell me a color that this car does not look good in. I have said it from the beginning that this is one of those rare cars that is not partial to its color.

sechsgang

Seriously! What's the point of taking the car at that time...lol.

My guess (based on a personal feeling that they'll build all the US motors at once and put them on the same boat):

Time to build the 400 US motors.

+

Time to load them all onto the container ship.

+

Time at sea, about 10 days from Germany to the East Coast.

+

Time needed to ship motors from East Coast port of entry to the three swap locations.

+

Timing of getting the techs from Germany to those locations.

+

Time needed to recall all GT3's to Rhode Island, Atlanta, and San Diego.

+

Time for actual swap.

+

Time to return all vehicles to dealers.

July/August

They should've started on us sooner, but logistically, it was quicker and easier to do the European cars first seeing as they can only build so many new motors in a day. Doesn't feel good, but I think that's the reality of our situation.

FWIW, in Nick's post in the "we need to ask some questions" he said he was told specifically by PCNA that engines were being air freighted.

Nick

Correct. The delay is the ROW is getting their engines first because they took delivery first. That said, once engine start arriving here in the near future I believe Porsche's estimated completion dates are very conservative. Unless there are unexpected install problems the three location will complete 10 cars a day. Assuming they do not work weekends the will complete 50 cars a week and get the 400 done in eight weeks.

The big question mark is when do they start the installs in the US. Based on my discussion with Jason they will begin to stockpile the engines here shortly. All they need are the technicians to arrive to do the work.

Wow.

Beautiful.

If Darth Vader drove a car in the UK, your's would be it.

So nice. Congrats.
