Respectfully, I disagree that PAG is "adhering...". In fact, a senior PCNA official told me this is NOT true.
I have lost respect for the people!

I am disappointed with Porsche if they stick to that timetable with your car.

GTEE3, mine had a stop date of February 14th. It was on the production line at the time.
Mine should arrive in RI next week and then at my dealer assume a week later. I will get my car before some of those that had cars at port in the US at the time of stop sale. Why, no idea but Porsche IS NOT following what they said i.e. those that paid, then those at ports, those finished but in Germany, last but not least those on the production line at time of stop sale.
Let's face it, how many times has Porsche said something about the entire GT3 issue that has turned out to be incorrect. As most of us on this forum have said - terrible communication and very poor PR.

At this point it really does not matter to me. If someone gets their car ahead of me that should not of; I am happy for them. My car will be here some time in Aug so whether it is Aug 14 or 25 they are pretty much paying me daily. Plus, based on my Aug schedule with vacation and business travel I do not think I will be able to pick it up towards the end of Aug an way. Yes, I want my GT3 but week here or there does not bother me any more now that it as been almost 5 months. I had my Detailer come to my house last week and he did a great job my Red C2S and it looks great. I know, it is only a Loaner but I sill like my cars looking good ad this Guy is inexpensive. Been using him for about 8 years.

I would love to know what you did to Porsche. I cannot believe how they are treating you. Going from a May delivery to October/November after some 2015 have been delivered is unacceptable and unfair.
I am disappointed with Porsche if they stick to that timetable with your car.

Nick,
I am not the only one with this BS. Another RL'er with an Orig. delivery a week prior to mine, has the same New delivery date in November.
A couple weeks/months delay probably should not mean much, but when you live in a city when Winter starts in November, it IS a big deal!
and btw, I have bought as many new Pcars as you in the last 10 yrs...but, that is history now.

My most recent update is as follows:
Engine Swap at the factory on September 12
Delivery to dealer on November 7
and my original delivery date was May 9 and my car was finished with the old engine on March 20.
There is a lot which has gone on which is not equitable, but if you are set on the car you endure. Admittedly, it does add insult to injury to have 2015s get their engine before me, but Porsche isn't going to stop the line while they wait for my swap.

That would be ME.....My original delivery date was May 16'th. As of last week, per Ian, my car shows completion date of 8/29 with dealer inventory as of 11/7. Neither date makes any sense to me, however Porsche has been holding the line on both dates for a few months now. If you think about it, it makes NO sense: I get a 2014 after some get 2015 MY, AND....I have ordered many Porsches and NONE taken 10 weeks to get to the dealer, as indicated by current dates.....GRRRRRRRR......
RUF RS,
our buddy Cyrek had the same Orig. Delivery date as Clocked, and Cyrek's Updated Delivery date will be approx. THREE months later than Clocked!
And you are right, "it makes no sense", your Orig. Delivery date was a week later than mine, but your car apparently is now scheduled to be completed TWO weeks BEFORE mine! I give up.

My original deliver date was May 2, which became the 9th. Completion date was Feb 28th I think, which is now showing 7/25, as of last Monday with a deliver date of 10/2. I am anxiously awaiting my Monday update to see if my car was actually completed.
