'Signal Green'
Confirmed
1) McKenna - CA (Sold at least $20K over MSRP) 9238
2) Beverly Hills - CA (Sold at markup over MSRP) 9244.
3) Stevinson - CO (Sold) 9251
4) P of Beachwood- OH (Sold at MSRP to Rennlister) 9243
5) P of Bellevue - WA (Sold)
6) P of San Diego - CA (Sold at MSRP to Rennlister)
7) P of Rancho Mirage - CA (Sold at markup over MSRP to Rennlister) 9249
Reported but not yet confirmed
8) ?
9)?
10) Assigned to a North Carolina customer that is part owner of a Porsche sales & restoration shop. (Sold at MSRP). I personally think this is an extra PTS 'Signal Green' gt3 in addition to the 10 originally allocated to US dealers in the reward program. Need that confirm since it's only speculation on my part.

PS Racingutoo: How are you privy to that information? Are you an owner-to-be? Or do you work at a dealership & have access to PCNA's computers?

As of today 4/28/15 my Arena Red is still in the body shop V 260. I entered the body shop 20 days ago.
Is my PTS GT3 being hand painted wit a tooth brush, why the delay ?

I'm waiting to see if mine will change to V270 on 5/1, the new expected date for exiting the body shop.

my PTS is also delayed. i visited the factory last week and nobody could tell me why or where it is. the best answer i got was "quality control" -- perhaps they are trying to make sure our PTS cars are not causing quality issues before releasing them?

Strange. I wonder what the "quality control" issue might be.
Fashion grey paint should be all sorted out as mine was the guinea pig for that colour for GT3s already. All other options should not be an issue either you'd think.

I suspect chassis numbers are assigned and allocated to 2015 production run.

These might be the RS prototypes, note the side vents on the body.
