I was told I could get PTS if I wanted, but like I read around here, I assume that is on approval. Dealer felt pretty good about me getting PTS, if that means anything.

- Did they figure people would by them any way so let's Spec them the way we like??- If you build it they will come
- Was it because they had to submit their orders to show PAG that there is so much pent-up demand that they should make more?
- Was it because they just did not want to deal with the constant changes us Porsche guys continuously make until it locks?
- Was it just carelessness on the part of the Dealers?

The problem with this strategy is that custom order slots are more valuable, imo. The number of people out there who will pay above msrp for a dealer spec car is even smaller than those who will pay for an open allocation.

This is where the true travesty of adm comes into play. People can €™t order what they want. Porsche used to be all about ordering a car the way YOU want

Looks like PAG is making good on the promise to deliver cars to meet the demand.

Wouldn't bother me with the delay in the end if it was the color I wanted. Expensive as hell but might be worth it.

Always been big on Signal Green and Voodoo Blue. We'll see how it goes.
