Great question! 
May have to do with the fact that they are owned by AutoNation, supposedly the largest auto dealer owner in the US.
ps: I know for a fact that they just opened. I live 5 miles from the dealer. I visited 4-5. weeks ago, and it was their 1st week being open. They already had two .2 GT3s in stock.

Just want to share. A new Porsche dealership has opened in Irvine, CA. Many don't know about this, but they have only been in business for about 1-2 months. These guys want to start as stealers, had 2 cars on their lot asking 20-30K over. They sold the manual, but the pdk car has been sitting in their showroom for some time, at least for 4-5 weeks. The last time I heard, they were asking 10-15K over. Interestingly, they got another 6 cars coming in, all pdk, specced by them. Given these guys are new, my guess is they don't have customers lined up. They may want to sell for over msrp, but given the current pdk GT3 has been sitting on their lot for some time and several other cars coming in, I think there is a good chance one can get a MSRP deal from them. Just don't barrage them with calls, lol, it can backfire.

Just an fyi to those who may be interested... they all say pdk on the main screen but when you click on the details and look at the option sheet many are indeed manuals. Builds all vary by colors, brakes, seats. None of them are what I am looking for (basic pdk build with buckets) or else I would have inquired.

Yup...the Miami Blue car which looks in stock looking at the photos is in fact a manual, not PDK as listed.

I'm coming to the dreaded realization that I may have to fork over an ADM if I want in on the 991.2 in the next 6 months. *Sigh*
If anyone has for northern VA/DC/MD? Or within a 250mile radius (as I have a trade) that would be appreciated.

I ended up getting a white one at McKenna a couple of weeks later. I did see a red 991.2 GT3 driving the opposite direction of me on PCH about a week ago. I wonder if that was the same car since I know it was sold shortly after.

I think PCNA/PAG throw a huge bone over to new dealerships to help them hit the ground running (and stealing lol)
I was amazed at Porsche West Broward in South Florida when they opened with their loaded inventory, likely the same as the new Porsche of Irvine
If and when the economy takes a dump I'm wondering how loyal their ADM paying clients will be rather than just selling at MSRP, guess these guys are getting in while the getting is good

I received notice of my allocation for a PTS MT 991.2 GT3 about 2 months ago. I built a car with a code on the Porsche website but told my dealer I definitely wanted to make changes because I was confused about several of the options. I'm loading this up as a keeper at a total build cost of almost $200,000. He said let's just submit this & we'll make changes later. After researching the multiple options, I emailed him an updated build 3 weeks ago with several changes. I just spoke w/ him today & he said my build was at 180 status on Dec 5th & went directly to 215 status on Jan. 1st with a July 15th dealer delivery. Porsche never placed my build into 200 status where changes could be made. I'm told once you hit 215 status, Porsche locks the build in & there are no changes. My dealer is emailing PAG & making phone calls but states he may not be able to make changes at this stage. He knows I will get his manager involved.
ANYONE HAVE ADVICE ON HOW I CAN ACCOMPLISH CHANGES TO MY $200,000 BUILD ?

I partly rationalized spending $12k for PTS because I'm getting my GT3 Touring without ADM. The MSRP (w/Gas Guzzler and Delivery) touched $192k, so I'm glad I have some company. I'm expecting lots of smiles in this 500HP, MT, 9k RPM wonder.

Don’t worry. I’m also at $192k with PTS and CXX options before sales tax.

You guys are sure checking a lot boxes as I'm only around $172k with PTS.
