Unless he doesn't know the visual difference between a base 911 and a GT3. If he does, there is no reason to lie about what he saw.
Again, if true this is significant news. Porsche would not be building new GT3's unless they have isolated and fixed the problem. In may not immediately help those of us who have had our car built but at least we now know we are nearing the end.

I'm first in line at DFC in Toronto for the RS, but I can't imagine that car getting produced with PTS until next summer now.

Hi Guys... Sorry I have been missing in action for couple of weeks. I attended a rally school close to Seattle with another member from the Rennlist last week, and this week I had a medical procedure. I just wanted to share quickly with you what PCNA will be releasing to you soon from a reliable contact... Please see below the proposed letter..... This is fresh info and very credible and I will stand behind it and just want to give you some of the good news... Mark

Since our last email communication to you, we have continued our direct contact with the engineers at Porsche AG in Germany.

By the way the rally school which is called Dirtfish is a blast and will be posting some videos of us driving sideways and having too much fun. Mark

I took the factory tour in December and yes, all 911 models including GT3 and Cup cars role on the same assembly line. Boxters as well. I saw GT3 hanging right in front of a Cup Car as it entered the "wedding" or "marriage" part of the assembly (body meets engine/drivetrain chassis), thing of beauty to witness. On a different note, I can tell you that mine has been sitting in Emden for several weeks now, kills me to think that it may be outside breathing the salt air. My dealer told me that the week before last, "Porsche guys" came to visit a newly delivered GT3, waited for the service department to empty, closed the doors and worked during the night. No other info regarding what was done or if the engine was dropped or gone. Top secret. My $0.02

I can confirm that letter--I literally just got it this AM from my dealer also.
I believe the takeaways are that we should hear some thing next week AND it's possible that not all cars are affected AND a fix / timetable may well be in the works!

It's like everyone one is hooked on Heroine in this room but there is nothing to satisfy the desperation. I don't know if that letter is positive or not but it makes me feel a lot better!
