Hmmm... Maybe that is what is going on with mine as well, My GT3 touring has been at port of Houston since 1/20. Status is "pending inspection". I have heard of some GT3 touring's getting delivered since then so must not be all cars. Maybe it is option specific....What does your build look like?

I don't think that it should be options sensitive. Thinking about things that may have software implications, I have PCCB, LED lights, auto dimming mirrors, BOSE, voice control, FALS, chrono pkg, buckets. Everything else is cosmetic.
They mentioned that it will be an update to all already delivered GT3Ts, but did not know more.

Agree on the Burmester comment as well. Funny, was putting some break-in miles on her this weekend with a buddy (he's in his new GT3RS) with the radio off -- you know, enjoying the blips and gurgles of the 3.0T. Anyway, wife calls and after the call the radio comes on (odd electronics bug). Anyway, have it playing hi-res files off an SD card and the next track is unexpected - a Black Eyed Peas song that my wife must have put on there. Not really my jam, but I CRANKED the Burmester and was smiling even harder. Sounded AWESOME!

Seems nobody here but me had a car on Goodwood. But since I'm getting notifications, I'll pass on an update just in case. She has finished unloading at Port Davisville, Rhode Island and is underway to Jacksonville. ETA is Feb 2, 13:00 hours UTC.
Also, FWIW, I was premature with the report that she was in Port Davisville. She actually arrived early this morning; not yesterday morning as I reported earlier.

Called the Porsche 800 number this morning for an update on my GTS which landed in Port Davisville on the 29th. They confirmed it was in port, but said it was expected at the dealership in NJ between Feb 8th and March 8th. I asked why such a large gap in dates, and she said she didn't know. Ugh.

I think they leave themselves a lot of wiggle room to account for customs clearance and subsequent transport. Mine only took 3 days to clear customs in Benicia and was at the dealership in Oregon about 3 days later (it's waiting for me there now...).

Ha, I wish I was picking up today. I'm in Seattle but had to order with the dealer in Portland OR (4 hours away) because local dealers couldn't get an allocation for a C2 (this was back in August already...).
So my pickup is complicated - I am either flying down this Saturday, or on Thursday next week. This depends partly on the weather outlook as I will still be on the summer tires for the drive back...
And the all season tires I have on order since December are still back ordered ...

Maybe Porsche is just holding the car at the port because they don’t want to get me getting used to the idea of such quick deliveries. Or maybe it slid off the ramp from the ship when it arrived at port a couple days ago and is in the frozen water.
On the bright side, you get to enjoy a nice long first drive home.

Winter tires are readily available - I've just decided to run all seasons year round because I think that fits the Seattle climate well and avoids having to deal with the spare set of tires/wheels - I'm using this as a daily driver...
