Club Coupe - I got the call...
#76
I guess I shouldn't be, but I'm a little surprised so many are "passing" on this opportunity after initially expressing interest.
So, roughly 12 cars still unaccepted?
Do you think that Porsche plans to build all 59 of these cars in one batch? If so, that means a lot of details are going to have to be finalized before any of us see our cars.
This may be a much longer process than we anticipated...like SEP/OCT.

It all goes back though to who should really be in the market for one of these in the first place. The wrong ones who 'won' took a pass, leaving the True Believers hanging in there hoping and praying. Ten years from now I doubt any of you will care how many drawings or months it took. You'll just be glad you got one. Which it strikes me is pretty much the way things ought to be. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy it seems.

I suspect that the factory will wait until all 59 fully spec'd orders are received , with a deadline of deciding specs by each buyer in early May ,and then the factory will build all of them in one batch over a day or two that month and they will land in the US in late June/ early July in time to be shown off at most summer regional PCA gatherings celebrating this 60 th anniv yr

I'm sure PCNA will have 60th Club Coupe #1 at Parade, but numbers 2-60 won't make it. I think August is the more likely target, if the orders can be completed by May.

I hope you're right, but when I ordered my 2011 GTS four years ago, it took 14 weeks from order submission to delivery day (to the West Coast).

I doubt anyyone expects to see many 60CC at the Parade unless the cars are within a few hundred miles of Indiana. At the Monterey Parade last summer I only saw two 50th PCA cars .
I think from a max PR standpoint PCNA would rather these cars be driven to their regional PCA get -togethers that occur throughout the summer , not gathered all together in a cornfield in Indiana , then tucked away .

I continue to be hopeful that I get that call. So for fun I am already trying to think about the what ifs.
If I get the call......
Do I keep my pristine 2008 997S?
Do I change from an avid 3 pedal guy to PDK?
Will my local dealer try to take advantage of my excitement and try to gouge me on selling price?
Do I have the right to shop around for another dealer who might be more in line with local pricing of a regular GTS?
I must stop thinking about it.

Sadness.

You and me both. Much as I'm an advocate for technological advances, there's something enjoyable about using the clutch.
Looking forward to having actual information about what options are offered. I thought it was the whole GTS list, but maybe not.

Lack of sport PASM would kind of be a problem for me. Would love Burmeister over Bose also. I might live without a glass sunroof, but would be less than happy about it. Likewise the very polarizing rear wiper. Silly little thing, but l like it.

Thanks Green. Are you sure about the list? I only have the offer letter and a copy of the rules, and neither says anything about the available options - only the list of standard equipment.
