That's my exact color combo (and model!). C4S, GT Silver w/ black/beige interior. Nicely done! I haven't seen anyone do that before until now. We have some different side options but I can happily say it was a good choice even though I've never been able to see the combo in person yet.
I should get mine in another month or so...

Exciting times! This was my first new Porsche too - it's well worth the wait.
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

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.

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!)
