Also if you dont get an allocation you can order a different car.

I think if your getting RS you should be tracking.

But what do i Know...

First I have heard of the OEMs being able to be refurbed. Would love to read about that one. Link?

Is the 4-5k track miles rotor life based on having done three refurbishments?

Are the Hats the same for the RS? I thought there was a bit of a difference between the GT3 and the RS. Also anyone used the Radical calipers with the ST rotors?

ST rotor longevity will vary greatly from customer to customer as there are so many variables at play, but in general, the 4-5K track mileage claim is in between refurbishments. So you should get 10K+ track miles out of a set pretty easily. Many customers have done way more than this as well. If only used on the street, the discs would outlast the life of the car.

ST should be receiving a set of 992 GT3RS discs to validate. As far as I know, the discs will be the same as the 992 GT3. The earlier 992 GT3 (9/4/22* and older build dates) used 34mm thick discs, but all built after should be 36mm discs. The discs *should* be the same but I believe the piston diameters increased in the RS calipers as well (30->32mm?). Would this require a new master cylinder as well? One would think so. I believe the calipers will take the same pad shapes as before, however.

The AP Radical calipers use a different offset and will not work with the ST rotors. They also don't offer a pad shape that is compatible with PCCB rotors are far as I know. I am looking into a solution to offer STs with PFC calipers, but nothing with AP calipers at this time due to a lack of pad options. To be clear, ST rotors are designed to work with either stock iron or PCCB calipers. They have fitments for nearly all Porsche applications, and certainly all GT car applications.

ST's are on like every other GT car at Sebring some track days, often in combo with slicks. Never heard a negative word about them. Would like to run, but too cheap, so I'll just keep paying for iron replacements until that cumulative cost far exceeds ST. Feels more frugal.

Can you send me the details. thanks

I would disagree..... Believe it or not there was a collapsible latter in the back of this GTSR when I took this pick after meeting an insurance adjuster for a roof inspection!

In case there's interest... I reported above that the original build start date for my car was April 7th. This got pulled in to Feb 24th sometime in January. I can now report that the build did indeed commence on that day. I have a couple of pictures from the production line (exiting paint shop and body on the top of the elevator from the bridge down to the production line floor). VIN number updated and is present now in the new web order tracking.

For unrelated reasons, I happened to be talking to my sales rep yesterday so we checked the system view from the dealership end. It confirmed the status as shown in the web page. One "interesting" additional detail fell out of that system though. Apparently this model has not yet received certification from the State of California (agency that oversees air quality considerations apparently). So that will be a gate to delivery if it's not done soon. It also implies that none have been delivered in the US yet?? [Can't vouch for validity of this info -- just repeating what I was told.]

Rod27

Interesting. What about ports of entry in other parts of the country? I wonder if the ones that were tracked at thermal this month received some type of exemption?

The agency is called CARB -- Fingers crossed PCNA gets the CARB certification just as the cars are about to land. Your Sales Rep can probably check the internal "on-sale" date PCNA has designated for 3RS. A few other states adopt the CARB standards, so if the first cars land and there's still no certification, they'll have to sit at port (cannot be delivered to dealers in those states). I think that if there's a car heading to a non-CARB state, they can be released to the dealer and sold--though Porsche could just hold them all until they receive CARB certification.

I think delivery to me (WA) is going to be gated by that certification then. The car is due to ship through Benicia, CA but since WA does follow California clean air standards it sounds like the car will sit pending certification. At least that is if the car hasn't already sat in Emden and/or taken enough time en route that PCNA has the certification done by the time it reaches Benicia.

Per Wikipedia... The following states that have adopted the California standards are: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico (2011 model year and later), New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington (2009 model year and later), as well as the District of Columbia.
