Updated pdf file for delivered GT3s to rennlisters ...
All owners listed in CA garaging theirs, GT3s in northern states back at dealers ... prob weather related. Love that CA sunshine ...

Anyone who will allow their GT3 in N.A. to be part of data, leave info on thread or PM me.

Not sure if PDF file will be seen on all smartphones ... but is easily accessed on PCs.

Be great to hear from Arth and others in the Middle East.
I'm sorry but I believe this information is false.

Currently dubai has 13 GT3's sitting in a air conditioned warehouse all covered up awaiting further instructions from porsche. 7 of those cars are " undelivered cars" the rest were picked up from their owners by the dealer and taken to the facility.

Abu Dhabi has 9 in total.

Gt3's here in the UAE are rarely seen as turbos are much preferred in this region.

Thus the dealers don't usually order GT3's for sales on the showroom floor. They are ordered for individuals to be customised as they wish.

Hope that helps.

Thx, Arth
Turbonation didn't ident the dealership. He wasn't referring to an Abu Dhabi dealership, with 9 GT3s, do you think?

Interesting that turbos are so preferred in your area. Are your peers tracking the turbos in significant numbers, or is the GT3 preferred track car?

Appreciate hearing from you.

I hope we all get a resolution soon. Great looking car, btw.

Maybe use this downtime to order the clear LED side markers?

Good advice.. thx. It was real stressful watching it get towed away.. Lucky the operator was real good with the car..

-might get the wheels matte-black power coat (personal preference vs. the factory gloss option.. FWIW I think it looks more unfinished, race oriented. .who knows).
-then going to try and add the phone bt option, and the lighted door sills. -- (saw they have them at suncoast and the dealer should be able to install).

Thanks. Your GT3 is N.A.'s earliest delivered car as far as we know.

Do u have loaner? Any problems with yours? My GT3 displayed warning messages on dash with several starts ... sent back to dealer 9 days ago.

... updated PDF file for 15 GT3s with some loaner info. Note that file may not be seen or opened on smartphones, but certainly opens on tablets and PCs with Adobe Reader.

I have a base Carrera loaner, collecting dust outside my garage.
