My '15 TTS is at V200. I hope I'm not delayed.

Maybe your dealer gave their early Turbo allocations to some GT3 owners to make them happy?

I believe it is not that easy to cancell confirmed allocation, but interesting explanation indeed.
In curiosity, how much does tts cost there?

My waiting case, I'm not that excited anymore, tts is starting to be shipped from germany now, but tomorrow is the "sudden" day where import taxes rise by 50% that would translate to pretty much another us100k.
Ouch! Yes middle east. Though I'm not sure if they would have received instructions from above.

A well specced TTS here is roughly US$195k. My TT was around 170.

Hehe no they didn't do that. GT3s are all parked waiting for new engines. Owners just have to wait. Some TT orders owners got bored waiting so they bought off the floor but the orders still came in.

Default Boss 991 looks awesome

Nice ride zedosix and excellent photo. Finally got some nice weather to get out in. Don't think any Z 06's will mess with you.

Default Let's make the wait a bit more exciting...

OK, my first Porsche with PCCB's is to arrive in August and the subject of premature wear suddenly seems like a hot topic. The GT3 track dudes apparently switch to steel rotors and change them back to CCB's when they sell their cars. I can understand that because of the cost of replacing the CC rotors vs steel for hard track use. Mounting and dismounting the CL wheels presents yet another challenge to the brittle CCB rotors. And if that is not enough there is not a whole lot about the durability of 991 PCCB's that I can find. I don't plan to track the TTS. I would like to know what to expect from the rotors wear-wise in normal driving. Maybe the lack of information is due to the newness of the 991 PCCB's or maybe it is because they are durable so nobody has noted any problem with premature wear. Whatever the case I probably would not have given the subject a second thought if I had my TTS, but with four months to wait, the PCCB stuff gets my attention.
