Yes. Mine was right there with Clocked. Mine exited production on 2/17. My original delivery day was April 18.

I'm guessing, that once all the motors were shipped out for all the cars stuck at port, they immediately started to get the factory cars moving. So while mine already has the new motor, I still receive after the port folks. It was definitely surprisingly good news.

Actually, a funny thing to note on my car: it finished production on my daughters birthday, and is scheduled to arrive on my sons birthday.

That's awesome. Some good news during this journey is most welcome.

A ride in a GT3 would make a great addition to your son's birthday, assuming he's not old enough to drive it and if he is that you're willing to give up the keys!!

That is why I have been letting every one drive my Loaner. When my Beast gets here that will not be the case

My son got his license last Friday. He took it in my Subaru STI manual. I'll definitely let him drive the GT3 with me in it at some point. He's really responsible, get's good grades and works hard. I drive with him nearly every day, and his skills with the manual are really good.

A generous Dad. He'll be thrilled....

I live in Massachusetts and traded my 2010 GT3 back to my dealer Jan 2012.
My 2015 991 GT3 is schedule to deliver Nov 14th in Massachusetts will be almost 2 years - can't wait.

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?
Will keep my eye's open for it at Davisville, RI.

There was a red (cat B) and another white GT3 having their engine swapped this afternoon. And then security came over, asked me what I was doing. The next thing you know the doors on those two garage bays were closed. Spoke with him again afterwards, he was nice enough and explained Porsche was a little touchy about the subject.

Jason, did you see any agate grey with black pdls lights sitting around? Its the one with the most dirt on it. Been there since Feb 6. If you didn't see it, it must have turned yellow with all that sun beating on it.
