Hi silver... How are you bud. Hope is ok with u and family

Just saw the dates you posted.... That's 5 months at port! I really feel for you. Not really sure what is the best course of action but a big discount is certainly well deserved, considering... Mark

Thanks Mark Living the dream. All is good buddy, I have to see the car before I commit to it. I usually do not leave any of my cars outside more than 2 hrs and now 6 months by the port is testing my limits. Oh well, what can we do.

Looks like I'm the only one who has not gotten the call, and I have the earliest production date of all here. Maybe they are waiting to call me when they are ready to pick up my car. Who am I kidding...

my dates are similar to Weapon... engine delivery in mid June and finished by mid July. Car is in Houston and will be shipped to Atlanta.
I want to install Shark Werks Exhausts, so I asked Andrea if they would install them while everything is taken apart..... haven't heard back on that issue. My guess is they will put it back to stock and let me deal with aftermarket stuff. Anyone have any better ideas on exhausts.... this is my first Porsche and not familiar with aftermarket exhausts. A friend suggested Shark Werks....

The Sharkwerks center muffler bypass is almost a must for the GT3. You will love it. GMG makes one too but I have no idea if there is any difference in sound quality but I suspect they are the same as there is nothing special about straight pipes. I would be surprised if they install it for you at the port and suspect they won't. I am actually worried they may remove mine (and ship back to me) because a poster from France mentioned the new engine came with a new exhaust. Andrea did ask me if I had any mods to the car, though; and I told her. I hope it doesn't get removed or worse yet, lost.

It appears the person with whom I spoke this afternoon was indeed mistaken about my car being repaired at the Port of Houston. I spoke with the service manager of my dealership this evening who confirmed the info I was given on my call earlier was incorrect.

His best guess as to where my car will be sent was Atlanta, given its relative proximity to Houston.

SamFromTX

Ugh!! Why won't they let big local dealerships do the swap? They are letting the Europeans and Canadian dealerships swap engines.

That was exactly my service manager's thoughts. He said they routinely take engines out and put them back in, and it is no big deal for a shop with such experience. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen.

WOW. I confirmed that mine would be done at the San Diego port.

Why can't they just outfit the HOU port with equipment?!

jfr0317

Because that would let them get done with mine more quickly.

As it is, the estimated delivery week of 8/11/14 is the week leading up to the Rolex Motorsports Reunion and the Pebble Beach Concours. Naturally, we are already booked for that week and the next in Carmel Highlands.

My guess is that the car shows up the day before we leave for Carmel so that I get to pay for it and then let it sit for two more weeks.

Hi Mark, thanks for the info. In fact, after leaving messages for Ian and then calling PCNA myself, I received a call from Andrea about 2 hours later. She confirmed my dates and told me I'd be contacted again in a couple of weeks to make arrangements to pick up my car. Looks like there will be several of our cars in San Diego at the same time!

Mike in CA

Max, call the regular Porsche customer service #: 1-800-PORSCHE. Have your case number ready and they can look up the info for you. I think when accounts got shifted from Ian to Andrea that the order of calls got scrambled. I'm pretty sure the only reason Andrea subsequently called me is because I left phone and e-mail messages for Ian before calling 1-800-PORSCHE myself.

As stated earlier...vin 185 - Car was delivered Jan 18th. (arrived at dealer jan 9th i think)

We got our call - Car will be ready June 9th-13th - I'm quite happy with the timeline compared to some of the other ones I have read online.

In regards to compensation - no bueno - 2K it is.
We were able to get a free swap back to summers (oh boy!),

Is Ian no longer at PCNA??

Road Racin

Ian's still there. I spoke to him yesterday
