It takes 1 month to travel from Emden to Houston?? This can't be right
Vehicle carriers usually make more than 1 stop before Houston; Davisville, RI, Jacksonville, FL.

I just received information form PCNA that US Gt3's will not ship until mid September and the earliest a car will arrive in the US is October. Most will not be to the dealer until November. Sorry to deliver the bad news to those of you thinking you will get your car in September but I thought you would want to know.

Is European delivery for early cars is out again huh? any info on when first PTS cars being built?.. they just became able to be ordered but no word on when they will actually be approved/made, even if a requested color is already on the list.

I don't believe this impacts the ED cars if they are being built in September/October.

I think it would be wise to use more precise language in any
discussion of PTS to avoid unnecessary confusion among the
Rennlist readers of this forum! PTS on the .2 991 gt3 are not
yet able to be ordered if we read what is going on correctly.

And the PTS window on the .2 991 gt3 is not yet open by PAG
to my knowledge. US dealers were simply asked by PCNA to
put in PTS requests for their customers for .2 991 gt3 on July
18th, according to the information provided to the forum by
Dr. Bill (who resides not far from me in Scottsdale).

For what this could mean see my post #3149 at the PTS
thread which is reproduced below:

"This news was reported today by someone I trust
here at Rennlist on another thread in this forum:

The allocation will show option "ZPT" - Request
for Exterior Paint to Sample. It will also show the
standard color selection until confirmed.

I have no particular knowledge how PCNA will
go through the job of picking PTS on the .2 991
gt3 given that demand for this option will be
greater than the supply of PTS slots expected
to be allocated to PCNA by the folks that decide
PTS in Zuffenhausen. The reported 'PTS Request'
from dealers to PCNA will give Porsche a better
idea of demand for PTS in this market for this
model.

PCNA will use the information to:
1) make the case for more PTS in our market!
And/Or
2) Gather the PTS requests to make decisions
as to what customers from what dealers will get
first crack at PTS when PAG finally opens the PTS
window for this model (expected in September/
October of 2017) & tells PCNA how many PTS
slots the US market will get! Will the coddled
918 VIP members get PTS priority this time
around?


So if you have an allocation for a .2 991 gt3 after
Sept 2017 (which might be transferable to a later
allocation/built date to be eligible for a delayed PTS
slot*) & want to be considered for this Paint-to-Sample
option, contact your US dealer ASAP & get them to
fill that 'PTS Request' form Dr. Bill has told us about!
So caveat emptor!
"

*PAG will need minimum of three months from confirmation
of your PTS slot (& your specific color selection is approved)
to a production date. So keep this in mind. PTS will force
dealers, PCNA & PAG into a difficult logistic dance to match
already given .2 991 gt3 allocations to the limited .2 991 gt3
PTS slots not yet allocated but expected, 'comprende'? So get
ready for the expected fast-paced action & don't let your dealer
drop the ball re: your PTS request or your PTS dreams will be
'tostados'!

My ETA is projected for Sept. 8th.... waiting for my latest update. If true across the board then I guess mine will be delayed.

No biggie... I have waited as long as almost a year for some of my limited production / high demand cars.

Probably good news unless you live in Midwest. You don't want cars sitting at port baking in august.

I wish that were true. My car will leave production on September 15th and not board a ship until October 13th.

The guys that are making out on the delay are the ED guys.

Entered the body shop, stalled for two weeks, then got rescheduled, now the factory has shutdown for vacation.
Wonder where it will end up ?
