Default 18 July !!!

I received a call from my friendly neighborhood Porsche salesman, Chip Davis at Bramann , on Saturday telling me that my 997 S will be built on 18 July. The car was ordered on 19 June...I can not believe that the process is moving so quickly !!!

Arctic Silver
Cocoa full leather
Black instrument dials
Model designation deletion
Sport seats with heat
Sport Exhaust
TPMS
Carrera Classic wheels witrh colored crests
PCCB
Sport chrono package plus
Navigation
Thicker steering wheel
Stainless steel door entry guards
Rod antenna

Just wanted to share the joy !!!

I thought it adds a neat sort of "Euro" look to the car and, in fact, the AM reception is not all that great down here. It will certainly set the car apart and make it easier to find in parking lots

It is all about dealer allocations. I suspect this buyer lucked out by getting into a slot that had been freed up just before he ordered.

Nah, just kiddin' ya.

I figure less stuff sticking out everywhere the better. Completely opposite way of thinking than my younger brother, for example. Go figure.

I actually surprised myself on this one. I usually share your view about "less stuff sticking out everywhere the better", but I thought that this would be an interesting departure, for want of a better term...we shall soon enough see.

Hey no fair, I orderd mine on June 18th and was told I would be built or scheduled by the end of June, but still no word. Yes, I took someone else's position who chickened out. Thank you very much.
