I really don't care about this round of allocations so I don't have much desire for a PDK GT3 so I'd pass anyhow. I'm more focused on the Sept/Oct allocations.

Is there anyone that wants a manual but would take a PDK if offered tomorrow??

I'm absolutely in the no column there! Manual or bust!

Yes, they get their allocations sooner and they get more.

I want a manual, but I will take whatever allocation I can get. So if I get an allocation but PDK is the only option, I'll probably order one.

Will only take a manual. If I can't get one will look for a used GT3RS. If I must take a PDK at least it will be an RS.

I think for me if no allocation or no manual, I'll keep the GT4.

I believe I will get one of the early allocations but I have advised my SA that of a PTS slot is available for a September or October build, I will wait until then to order.

All of that^^^ plus Exclusive, Premier, 918's Sold, and gift baskets or approx 20% by the area managers from a pool...A lot of the numbers is simple math at this point based on percentage of units being built for the US market. I wish it was not an allocation system and I have personally vented my frustrations to Porsche about that very thing many times....
