Could be - they didn't know which parts they were...could be anything...they said that the parts would be here by the end of this week...which is tomorrow? Also noted that this would not delay the timing that they originally gave, which was first week of July...so hopefully soon.

A friend of mine said today: "So you need to burn in the engine again?" Ouch... :-)

My steed is back in the stable, in eastern Pennsylvania! GT3 had rebirth in Davisville, R.I.

Took redelivery today, 6/28/2014 ...
My impression is the turn-in is yet quicker, exhaust tone deeper at approx. 3,400 to 3,500rpm ... rather than 4,000 previously. The PDK-S is so crazy quick ... hard to say that it's quicker than before, but how to tell short of precision timing equipment and dyno, etc? Engine is stunning , as before ... difficult to keep it under 7,000rpm.

No mesh in either of front fender liners for me.

Three engine stickers are needed, located on right underneath aspect of rear engine lid, on right passenger door post, and on right side of frunk lid.

Congratulations! Exciting for sure. Hopefully more cars will start showing up shortly, including mine! I am told from PCNA that the parts they were waiting on did show up late this past week, which is great...hopefully only a few more days.

snabbgt3 - I was not a fan of a GT3 in Grey but I have actually not seen any but have seen the Turbo S.

Car looks stunning. What color is that Grey/silver??

I do not think there has been a color I have seen in the 991 GT3 that I did not like.

Congrats!!

Several documents were provided for dealer/myself at redelivery:
I am Cat A owner.

1. Porsche Approved Warranty Certificate (1-year extension included); I paid for GT3 01/07/2014, but they provided me a few extra weeks of warranty with dating of original warranty valid date as 01/24/2014. Vehicle contract date is 2 days prior to today ... was unable to pick GT3 up until today ...
2. AE11 Update Notification (2-page)
3. Certificate of Engine Exchange
4. Attention note re: Repair Certificates and Thatcham Labels

... please see attached photos of documents

Thanks much. It's Rhodium Silver, a little lighter and bluish tinged silver when compared to GT Metallic. I like.
