Cant wait to see your new M3...I have an M4 on order.

Feeble attempt at keeping up with you
Sorry, off-topic. But here it is, WSH. We've done (my wife mostly, it's her daily driver) about 3k km with it already. I really like it. Even the sound isn't too bad, but I'm going to put an Akrapovic Evolution (+15 HP) under it anyway.

Update on my GT3. History: car stopped production on 2/14. Time of stop sale. Porsche completed the car at some point with the defective engine.

Engine has been replaced at the factory and the car left Germany Saturday for Davisville. Hope to see it by the end of the month.

Any others like mine have left Germany?

How did you pull that off? That's a few months ahead of your schedule. Congrats.

Wow, Clocked. My car was completed on 1/28, arrived in early March at US port. And it seems like your car will be delivered before mine.

^ I think our car will be in our hands in less than 4 weeks. I am figuring engines already at Port and surgery very close. I have to pull the trigger on the rear bypass in the next 2 weeks and I was waiting to hear the M@M one but it may be too late

Happy for you. For some reason I thought you changed your mind a while ago. Exciting!

I'll have to check, but mine finished on the 13th, so it may very well be either at port or on ship. Mine will be going to San Diego.

SamFront... I will decide when I see the car and test drive it. Now that I can drive it for a few months before I put it away for the winter leaning towards keeping it. Still need to firm up with my dealer if they will get any 2015's (new allocations) and try to switch to a 2015.

Not sure why mine got moved up, can only speculate it was due to several discussion with PNA COO and that Quinn has provided mis information to me early on stating that I did not even have a car on order.

will keep you posted when it arrives at the dealer.

thanks.
