I started this thread almost 2 years ago with the hopes of replicating the deal on my 992 GT3 (MSRP and no sales tax). Well I finally got an allocation and succumbed to paying 80k over. No strings attached and I am keeping my GT3. I never thought I would pay above MSRP for any car - ever. October build. Probably will be the last purely NA GT3RS ever made.
I submitted my order for European Delivery and PTS - Gulf Blue with the hopes that PAG will grant/allow both. I haven't been following all the discussions in this thread but wanted to know anybody's recent experience with these two requests.
1. Likelihood of getting PTS? How soon will I know if they accept or reject this request? The 918 VIP guy here got his PTS rejected for his ST and 3RS so I am thinking my chances are very slim.
2. European delivery? @disden , @GrantG or others, please chime in. If I recall correctly, Germany requires winter tires on all cars from Nov 1st to March 31st. Can I do a European Delivery in a GT car in November? Do they even make winter tires for this car?
I am super stoked. Now I'm going to have to learn how to drive an automatic. Maybe my wife or sons can teach me.

Also, big congratulations on getting an allocation. Those that have them are lucky indeed. I think production for the 992.1 RS will continue to be a challenge for Porsche.

yes you can do ED in November. Porsche will put on a winter wheel set, and rather than dropping off at one the stand alone shipping locations you will have to return the car back to the Porsche factory where you picked it up.
One benefit to a Leipzig delivery is that you can have PPF placed prior to delivery by an independent company, I did this for my ST last month, cost 2350 Euro for full front and mirrors, just paid for it upon arrival. But, due to winter wheels would have to return to Leipzig.
I have done November delivery in past and was lucky with weather. Very few mountain passes open, but can still enjoy a lot of drives. Would be flexible with schedule and chase weather.
just don’t forget that there is no space for luggage, so duffle bags behind seats would be only option.
enjoy

Will be tough on both. Yes they can do winter delivery on the RS. As a side note, I picked mine up and it was not winter, did not have winter tires and it snowed leaving Werks 4. Car was not fun to drive in sleet.
Also, big congratulations on getting an allocation. Those that have them are lucky indeed. I think production for the 992.1 RS will continue to be a challenge for Porsche.

This is the wheel/tire set you’ll get in November as free loaner:

definitely do not give up
I’m assuming if you get one it would be some time in the new year. Might work to your advantage since this year was supposedly full
you should reach out to Porsche ED immediately yourself as well
some buffer is also needed to account for production delays

But I have to ask…. Why would a dealer in Houston give you, a resident of CA, a GT3RS allocation and not charge ADM when over 90% of the dealers are charging an ADM?

Please...pretty please...remove that question. There is NO answer that will make sense to anyone but him and the GM/Owner.
