Or fit a spartan interior to 991 Cups and offer them as replacements. Now we're talking.

Unbelievable! Just received a call from PCNA to tell me my car may be delayed because of engine issues. I asked how long and the response they have no idea. They want to assure me that Porsche is doing everything they can to correct the problem as fast as they can. They will call me with new updates.

At least they are trying to be communicative.

Mike, did you say anything? All I see is Kate Upton.

Was it PCNA or your dealer? What stage is your car at Nick?

I got a call as well about 30 min ago. Whatever I asked her she did not have an answer. Mo idea when they will have this resolved. They will be in touch. I had her send me an email documenting this. She did and she aslso provided a numer to call for updates. It does not look good guys. Now I can start bi&*ng again.

@silverrules -- That is the same contact person I had. She is formally assigned to GT3 Resolution at PCNA. However, that case number is likely YOUR specific one--bc mine is slightly different from yours.

I can see their building from my office. I may go over there at lunch and just start getting chummy with people, collect some intel and report back

okay, can I take bets ...

1. for the cayman GT4 (400hp, 3.8L,2900lbs) next year : D ... I know it, so its unfair but hey, ur welcome to bet against me...
2. the engine problems being not solved shortly but will take several weeks to months ...
3. GT3 RS with turbo ...

the fourth -> RWS issue... well I dont trust that source as much as the others, though he is a PC president in Germany... but why would he make that up (with the video and so on)... but I reckon if such a video makes it to youtube it will be game over for a lot more people who ordered the gt3 ...

also heard today that the chassis of the 991 cup cars are cracking, but that was written somewhere online so wont bet on that one...

My car is on a boat scheduled to arrive March 5th or 6th in San Diego.

Given that PCNA is calling us now this appears to be a long delay.
