As you know I am very skeptical in whatever Porsche says.
I spoke with PCNA just yesterday and mine is still delivery for 9/19. Mine was also V270 the same as yours.

^Clocked,
my orig delivery date was one week later than yours.
as Hooppumpers stated in another thread "I just want consistentcy from PAG"...
mid-Nov delivery will most likely mean I will have to pick the car up (if I do) with an enclosed trailer and take it to storage for 6 mos...PAG this is not what I signed up for!

That's not a 991 GT3, AFAICT. There is no black front spoiler, nor does the black aero trim extend up the front of the fender edge as it does on the GT3. Harder to tell, but the wheel spokes appear to go straight to the rim, not curved on the end like the spokes on the new forged GT3 wheel. Also, I don't see a vent between the leading edge of the hood and the bumper and there are cross bars not mesh in the front air intakes.

Looking at the second pic, with a clear view of front end, it looks like an Aero Kit 991. Similar to the GT3, but not the same. Biggest / easiest to see giveaway is that it doesn't have the vent at the base of the frunk opening.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Right off the bat the back spoiler in not big enough. The 991 GT3 is pretty pronounced but still fits the car beautifully.

here is my story for comparison and analysis:

2/10/2014 - V260 Vehicle entry to body shop (CP 0.0)
2/20/14 - Stop Sale at V260
4/11/14 - original delivery date from dealership system
5/2/14 - what PCNA says was original vehicle delivery date
8/29/14 - what Porsche dealership and PCNA agree on updated delivery date

Porsche has now agreed to compensate with a start date of 4/11/14. Which was nice for them to agree to what the dealership systems shows and gave me another month of comp. I am staying excited about getting the car and not really distracted by other cars like Ferraris and Corvettes

I am still hopeful that they padded the new dates and we may see cars sooner. Come on Porsche, overachieve on this one!!

Bill. The car on Pistonheads is 100% a aerokitted Carrera. Front bumper is quite different than the pronounced "chin" on the GT3, wheels different etc.

Not a GT3 for sure,but I don't know what's happening with today's manufacturers and fires...In Porsche's case at least I've seen too many fires lately.

I think this may be due to the August Vacation period. Mine supposedly finishes in July. My original delivery date was April 24. Mine was V270 on 2/17. If they do in fact close for the month of August, and you miss that window, you are delayed an additional 4 weeks.

How did you get that changed with pcna? When I talked with them they flat out refused to entertain the original date I was given and said it had changed.
