Default (Holds lifted) EPA holding 2018 991.2 deliveries

Just got a call from my SA that 2018 991.2 deliveries are being held as EPA wants further testing even though 2018 is same as 2017. FFS can't these overzealous goons stop poking at low production cars. It's not like there's a million of them or they drive a million miles.

Anyway. Please post any info you may have or receive. Thought the topic deserves it's on thread. At least for us to vent a little.

Good lord, why? Did Porsche suddenly start slipping a VW-sourced diesel into the back?

My SA mentioned it could be backlash from the VW mess. The 17 and 18 are same car. No need for new testing.

Just bureaucrats trying to look busy until the hammer drops at the EPA. The 991.2 runs too good, so there must be some violation somewhere.

It's cyclical. In 10,000 years we will be covered in Ice again. These people want to wreck the private economy in favor of a global world order - and this is just one weapon they use.
These kinds of comments don't belong. Please keep this type of nonsense to the off topic area. None of your "stupid friends" want to debate you here.

According to my SA, the hold should be lifted by the 1st or 2nd week of August.

This has to be a troll post. No one is this stupid.
