I should get mine in another month or so...
bravo! I have a silver 991.2 on a boat now with a somewhat similar interior color combo. Not black. Not red. Seemed uncommon but it was my preference....fun to see the photos! it'll work for me too. unkie

The boat is not the Western Highway, is it?

I'd guess six months, there are a few threads on the process. You need an allocation and a locked build before you get an estimate from Porsche, and they usually meet or beat their committed dates. Right now you just have a spot in line for a build though, and they don't have them from Porsche, so it's hard to say.


Sounds like you'll have a great trip in store this summer though - enjoy!

Thanks! This is helpful.
The process looks like
Spot in line for a build -> allocation -> locked build -> notice of delivery.
I am guessing this will be the process.

I wonder if being in the 5th in line for a build for a popular GTS model is ok and that it will happen in reasonable time. August delivery to me is a reasonable time. Do you think this will be the case?

I am guessing different dealers have different allocation numbers. Sonnen Porsche usually move a lot of Porsches. Hoping they will get more than 5 GTS allocations

Yep, that's how it goes!

Sonnen could always do some horse trading with other dealers to get another GTS if it comes to that. I'd just keep in touch with your SA and have him try to help you get a feel. I don't know if they get allocations quarterly or what but if he gets ~two a month you can guess at a forecast. The SA works that all day so it should be something he can help you on.

Stopped by the dealership this morning. Car was loaded yesterday and is scheduled for arrival in davisville 2/5!!!! Ship is the splendid ace if anyone else is expecting around the same time in the north east.

Side note: For anyone waiting and obsessing over there arrivals they have probably seen Nick Murrays recent videos on YouTube. His car was in the delivery bay of the dealership today. Looked real nice. Not sure if you're a Rennlister but if you are, congrats nick and good luck with this one.

Not sure if Nick Murray is a member here; I hope he doesn't mind me posting this, but I saw his car at the dealership this week. (I bought from the same place.) Looked real sharp.

Thanks for the heads up, I really enjoy Nick's videos. I expect everyone is as eager as him to pick their 911's up...!

What is a "normal" for cadence of asking your dealer for updates? Mine should be built at this point, dying for an update (trying not to ask more than once a week!)

I have been checking in every 7-10 days. My SA has been awesome and says that tons of customers routinely check in on their orders
