It is AWESOME. Traffic is a b!tch but that's to be expected at any event like that. Austin's track is just an especially bad traffic design.

It looks legit, either that or someone hacked their database including my C of A request a couple years ago and made a very very good hoax.

Ha ha....I just tried it again to and got the same response. I guess too many of us tried to take the survey on the OP's personal email code. lol. Or Porsche reads these threads (I know they do) and disabled the link. It worked the first time I tried it.

Got the same thing. Wondering if it’s worth it to enter. Would be cool to give opinions straight to the source, I guess. When a company starts going hard on asking customers for ideas and feedback, it’s usual a sign that they’re lost and/or on a path to genericism. Hopefully that’s just me being pessimistic. Steve Jobs has a great quote about that (“it’s not customers jobs to know what they’ll want, it’s our job to show them what they want” or something like that).

Received as well. Doubt it’s for “top 88k” customers, but it’s authentic.

I got it too. It looks legit. The marketing company that is doing this for Porsche touts that their product enhances brand loyalty and such. I'll participate and see what happens. They make it sound exclusive and say not everybody will be accepted, but I think that is just another ploy to get folks to enter.
We'll see how much additional spam this generates going forward...

When this first launched, I participated. It was legit, and I found it interesting. I even got a "thank you" from Porsche in the form of a "Porsche" license plate. OK, BFD on that but anyway...

That said, I have not gotten anything legit from the PDC for quite some time. However, over the last year or so I have gotten emails allegedly from, the "Porsche Drivers Council" that clearly were not from Porsche. They appear to be from a generic surveying company and are not asking anything remotely related to Porsche.

I suspect they somehow got the PDC mailing list and are spamming it.

Any one else?

Stuff like this I flag as junk. I won't even try to unsubscribe as I assume that is just another way for them to load a virus or what not.

I've been receiving them for a few years and have answered. They are Porsche specific. No swag yet, but I feel like I'm one survey away from winning a new Porsche...just like the PCA Raffle I plan on winning, especially this cycle with the 911 America Raffle. It's pretty much in the bag.
