Official waiting room for those with a new 992 on order --- come on in !!
#4336
Seems I may have an allocation now....c4s....what are those of you getting 992s now, looking back in time, realizing in months total time from allocation to delivery? East coast delivery if that matters much.
Curious as well what dealers are telling others allocating today regarding anticipated wait time. My dealership said I should have the car by Nov-1, does that sound about right, or are they being conservative or optimistic? Tks.

I'm feeling the same way. Disappointed Miami Blue was gone before I could choose it and Share Blue wasn't available. Ended up going Guards Red after considering Aventurine Green, Chalk and Gentian Blue. Second guessing a bunch of stuff. Let's hope it comes out well

My Targa 4 freeze date isn't for 3 more weeks. I've changed things 5 times already, including 3 different colors. I'm on Aventurine Green right now. I really like it and have seen it in person. However, Shark Blue has been summoning me lately. I know that when my Targa is on the boat, I'll have regrets. I hope not too many.

During the time until your build locks, there is the changing, questions, questioning, and more changes until the freeze date is about the only thing that makes it stop really.
Then there is the calm during the wait for production, the completion and the transport to Emden.
Now during the time at sea, I find myself second guessing aspects of the build. Mostly related to color, as well as a few options.
I'm sure when the car arrives I will love it. But in the meantime...
Anyone else?

EDIT: All that being said, I guess I have to 'fess up to being a bit of a hypocrite, as I did swap out one of my center console trim pieces after I took delivery. LOL

Yes. The ocean crossing is when the second guessing began for me. But you are absolutely right. Once the car arrived, I forgot all of that. The 992 is just so stunningly good, I can pretty much promise that when you drive it away from the dealer, you aren't gonna be thinking one tiny bit about whether you should have gotten that extra patch of leather or whatever. This car is the real deal. The wait was long, but oh so worth it.

At first I was pretty set on GT Silver. But then Nick Murray got in my head with all his rants imploring people to consider actual colors. I ended up settling on Gentian Blue, largely as a result of listening to his advice. And I'm glad I did. It's just stunning IMO. And that's not a knock on silver, gray, etc., they're all great. But don't sweat your choice of GB. I rarely see a photo of it (especially my photos) that really captures it. It's a "complex" color if that makes sense, rich and vibrant, and it's hard to capture in a photo. In the flesh, it draws your eye to it, but not in a flashy way IMO. I think you're gonna love it.

It's looking less likely that it's headed to Emden. And that's the most recent schedule that I'm aware of.

Yes, I agree, you can see the headlight covers are in a slightly different position in my photo
