Strange. You have a July build date and a freeze date of May 6th? Usually freeze dates are about 30 days prior to build dates. My build date is July 21st and my freeze date is June 21st. You sure you have the right dates?

Well, I guess I may be off on some of this. I am going in today to see them, so perhaps I will get more clarification. On the other hand, it is easily possible that it works differently in Canada!

My allocation is for december with PTS/Manual option if I want.
55 cars this year for Belgium?! Geez, we've got more people in Northern California than the entire country of Belgium and I'll bet dealers here are getting nowhere near that collectively. Good for you!

If you don't mind, please feel free to mention that Wild Weasel really needs a car! Depending on who you're dealing with, you may well get a laugh out of it.

Haha yea well its for their whole country.


We have 25 Porsche dealers in California. And from that I know of 7 dealers that add up to more than 55 cars already, not to mention the rest 18 dealers.


Quite a few dealers got over 10 allocations.

Yea it'll be around the same as .1 GT3


Don't expect it to be more than 500 less units than .1 or more than 500 more units than .1.


1800 ~ 2400 for NA is what is expected at the moment.

Spending the $ on GT3 for pts may be ok, but the colors jusr start looking more normal.. for example that aqua blue on the RS I had seen looked amazing.. on the GT3 it's just not that different from sapphire.. not worth the $ in my book. more and more I'm leaning towards a standard color car, then put the money towards special seats or interior options

Yea actually no one knows. Even the head of allocation management from PCNA does not know. PAG will tell them ball park like, this will be way less than previous model, or way more, but nothing concrete. Even PAG side have not planned production numbers for 2019 model.

I requested the pepita seat inserts. Waiting to hear from special wishes to see if they'll do that and the R stripes on the side. I spec'd a manual car and I thought about PTS but didn't want to add to the wait time.

Hey chaosoul, do you know how many 991.1 GT3s were produced for the US? And I assume the US dealers getting 10+ were 918 dealers with 918 owner GT3 allocations?

A little bit over 2100 for North America


Some dealers had 10+ allocations even without 918 VIP allocations, and some dealers had 10+ after including 918 VIP allocations.
