Agree with previous post, who cares. We overhype the whole situation and dealers eat it up even though we like to have fun with it. The only they see are $$$$.

Let them keeping making the rounds on the phones with their hustle. Not buying into it.

I just got word from my local Colorado dealer that they only received 3 allocations (outside of VIP/918) for this year. But I've been told I'm in good shape to get an allocation in the next round.

Anyone have guesses as to when they will release allocation for builds starting next year? September?

August/September would seem reasonable.

I don't think I've seen a post here about a single Canadian allocation yet. I wonder if they skipped us for the first round since there's not much use for the cars up here in winter anyway. Maybe our deliveries will start in the spring?

Nah. that will be the last one they ever get if they do that.


For a GT3? over all potential R, RS and GT2RS and speedsters in the future? VVIPs have no program expiration date unlike 918 VIP which have.


None of the guys I know are doing that.
