GT3 sport Chrono aka "wart"
I am one of the V200 MY2014 pushed out to MY2015 by Porsche that was configured with a sport Chrono option priced at $450.00. This package is now priced @ $1,850.00, yeah I get it, better software, but not going to track so really don't care except for esthetics. Anyone else think, given the crap we've all been thru, that Porsche should at the very least include the "WART" for the original price?

There has been mention that those whose 2014 cars that have been pushed into a MY 2015 should expect no compensation because getting a 2015 is "compensation enough". If that statement is correctly attributed to Porsche, then I would think the answer to your question would be yes, very much so.

I have been talking to Andrea about this for over a month. She said she would get more information about this as time goes on, but she believed that this would be something handled at the dealer level. So I talked to the dealer and they said, Oh...er...uh.. we might be able to do something. That's more like, we'll get back to you. I was supposed to trade my CTSv to them in May, now November! I bitched about that because of the additional depreciation hit. Silence was deafening. So I will fight like hell for them to give me something.... like a free clear bra, etc. But at the end of the day, all I really have in my corner as leverage is the threat of a bad dealer satisfaction survey and NO SERVICE FOR YOU!

I spoke to Andrea at length this AM. I gave her the run down on the WART issue. She actually thought the prices were the same. She knows this is not the case now. I told her I didn't want to have to beat the dealer over the head with this. She said she would talk to her boss today and get an answer back soon. She did however say that the compensation Tim Quinn alluded to was nixed by PAG. You vill be happy you get ze car at all. Says Herr Mueller. Ach mein Gott!

I'm in the same position. I posted earlier about it. Dealer basically told me "if you don't want to pay the new price we will remove it" Crappy attitude if you ask me. I'm waiting to see how Ryan and Rob's situation pans out.

Arrogant German approach. My view about this entire experience can be summed up this both from the dealers and Porsche " your money and business means nothing to us. We will sell every car to someone and if it's not you we don't care"

Wart equals Launch Control, no?
Sounds like a Class Action to me. That is Horse 5h!t being charged more for your configuration because of someone else's screw-up! Just because Porsche wants to continue screwing people in the price of their cars doesn't mean you should have to pay for it because of an issue with the factory not being able to deliver on time! Especially after you have put in money, locked in the config and signed that piece of paper at the dealership. Isn't that a contract to begin with?

I think launch control is only available with PDK; if so it wouldn't have been on previous GT3's. The TTS has LC and sport chrono as standard, but I think the 2 features are optional and packaged together on the TT and all other 991's. The GT3 is the only model that comes with launch control standard and doesn't require sport chrono to have it.
