"Chris,
I have had several knowledgeble Porsche people tell me 102 total". I wonder how many black ones?

Could you ask these knowledgeble Porsche people how I got #114?
I never used these silly things before but it is appropriate here
There are very close to 167 for 05, maybe just a couple more, no less. The first 05 GT3 is # 061(last three digits) Figure it out from there. I have knowledge of #223( that would be 05 GT3 #163), Basalt Black, ordered by Foreign Cars Europa in NC, dont know if they ultimatly were the selling dealer. A while ago someone on this board had knowledge of #227(05 GT3 #167) That is the highest # I have. If anyone has info to dispute these #'s, please let me know.
Rich

Luis, That # is on my list but I did not have info on it(color, etc), the 9th digit is 3, correct?
Are you going to Porschefest?

Rich,

If we are going to keep some sort of log, my last three digits are 116 - white w/ black interior.

Hey Rich,
Yes it is! What other info do you need to make an actual log? I will gladly help trying to get it going. It would be great to have a pic of the car by the info as well. The Turbo registry comes to mind as something that would be cool. ( http://www.911turbo.com/ ) When/where is Porschefest?

Looks like 'gtracerich' and I have been doing the same type of data collecting. Porsche AG is probably laughing at us but what the heck.

Here is my explanation of why a US only count is hard to come by without Porsche AG.

From the PET document VIN section:

(USA.CND.MEX.BR) Model Year 04 ... 4 S 6 9 2 0 6 1 >

(USA.CND.MEX.BR) Model Year 05 ... 5 S 6 9 2 0 6 1 >

That is GT3 for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. From what I gather the first part of the VIN is the same W P 0 ... pattern for those countries. The Canadian VINs I have seen look just like the US.

In my limited data for Model Year 2005 GT3 I have

a low of 5 S 6 9 2 0 6 8
a high of 5 S 6 9 2 2 2 7

I have not seen anything that indicates Porsche AG used every VIN available in that sequence range.

Chris, #116 is added.
Luis, I am not knowledgeable with computers, I would not know how to go about starting something like 911 Turbo.com. I just have pen and paper records. Check out the post in the East US Rennlist Region titled, "Help, I'm going to Disney" for info on Porschefest. It is in Mt Dora on May 26-29.

Yes, I am going to try and make it there. How many cars do you have in your registry? How/when did you receive info on my car?

Luis
I have detailed info(VIN, color, options,what dealer) on about 35 cars. I have an additional 16 cars that I just have the VIN and color that I have seen for sale in various places(I guess that is how I got yours) The lowest # that I have is 082, the highest is 223. I do have # 227 on the list (I believe I got that from enthusiast a while back) but I do not have any additional info on it. The most common color is black, by a lot.
If I see your car at Porschefest I'll say Hi.

Where are you getting the 3 digit number from? Is it the last 3 numbers of the VIN?

Yep, although it does not seem to coincide with the actual production # of the cars.
