Mine was halted on Feb. 14th and was expected at the dealer on May 2nd and was told this Tuesday to expect my car in December or January (this is a 2014)

On Wednesday Ian Moon sent me an email saying now it will arrive at my dealer on September 5th.

Don't believe one word from this incompentant company. They have had a hard time from day one telling the truth and don't tell me they don't know production schedules for the cars in the US for engine swaps. We are talking about 200 cars in the US.

Lost all Trust in the brand and leadership at Porsche NA that I have had many conversations with.

Just got a call from Ian to arrange pick up of the car. It will be taken to dealer today. He said the redelivery may happen a week earlier than expected, so by July 1 is possible.

Want to hear a funny story? When Ian conferenced in Roadside Assistance, they told him that there would be a fee of $119.95 because the car is already out of warranty. Ian was stumped - "Oh, this is not right, this cannot be the case". I told him that this entire thing feel exactly like that. Anyway, seems like the end is in sight. Somehow, after al that happened, I have this nagging feeling that they'll find a way to f-ck it up again and it's going to be some more months.

No seriously, great news guys, especially since Max's and my car were delivered on the same day at the same dealer so my notice can't be too far behind!

Mike, I called and sent email to Andrea and my rep. Tried to call the main number but hung up after a 10 minute hold (work! Interferes with everything). I suggest you make noise.

My post swap impressions won't be hlepful much because I am replacing my headers with low flow cats that add about 25 hp and 20 ft lb and am capping the exhaust vaccum, so the valves will be open at idle and up. Car should have over 500hp now (stock is already north of 475 as we all know).

Perhaps your thoughts on the revised RWS and sharper turn in...

Awesome. Which system are you going with?
