Default Production date brought forward

I've just had a phone call from my dealer to let me know that the late July build date for my car has been brought forward 3 weeks and may even be produced earlier.

Here's hoping.

There is some more information on this in Fongster's thread.

In brief, my build got moved up about a week ago just like yours but it appears that may just be wishful thinking on Porsche's part as many other indicators make it seem they are about a month (or more) behind in GT3 production.

Good luck to you (and me).

Any idea what VIN number they are on. The car for sale on Ebay, which had 1,800 miles on it, was car number 460 something.

My point being; if number 716 is here, and only 750 are to be built, then will not be any 2005's. Production should be about done. Right?
