I'd be curious if folks are now seeing delays because of 992 production taking up resources. We'll likely never know.

Since both models are now in production, if someone at Porsche were to happen to mess things up and put in a 992 engine in my 991.2, I won't complain. Just don't mess with the 991.2 design please.

My C2S was scheduled to be completed on 4/5 and was actually completed on 3/29. It’s in Emden waiting for its ride across the pond. The finish line is in sight!

I would add the free options of:

- smoking package (not because I smoke), but for the cleaner look of having the cover for the cubby hole
- voice control

Congrats! Must be the Siem Cicero? I hoped my car would make it on it but I don't have any information about that yet.

EDIT - lol, just realized your map indicates Siem Cicero.

Yes! I actually do not have 100% confirmation that my T is on there but... if you look at the production date and exit from the factory (V334) April 1 and entered Port of Emden on April 2, and the Siem Cicero was scheduled to leave April 15 - 17, I believe it's locked and loaded on the SIEM CICERO.

P.s. As of tonight, it's heading south-west through the English Channel, just east of Plymouth!

Well... RAS and PDCC maybe. And definely get the smokers package for the additional power outlet and cleaner look. Also, you’re opting for a slightly slower color than GT Silver, but it’s still a pretty fast color.

Only truly egregious sin is the lack of a manual stick shift.

Your sales person should be able to tell you what ship it's on.

As above, rear axle steering, voice control and smokers’ package. I haven’t had a car with PDCC, but RAS was impressive in my Targa.
I would also consider Interior Package in leather to avoid sun glare from those silvered bits.
Personally, I would always opt for 5 bolt wheels. In my mind, center locks’ disadvantages outway any advantages by quite a bit.

You will miss the sunroof (glass or steel depending on your taste) and look into colored seat belts. I'd go red, as the white will show dirt quickly- you need to do something to break up the all black interior. Good choice on the Alcantara delete, you will love the ventilated seats.

My understanding is this is one thing only she or he can tell you for sure, unless you're taking delivery at one of the Porsche Experience Centers.

I have also heard every change creates a delay. Good to ask.
