I didn't think there were any launch cars for the GT3?

Just curious, Chris. How many dealers have you contacted that made you decide you have to "buy" a spot or allocation? There is an allocation at a dealer I know, ETA April/May, that AFAIK is not yet spoken for.

Hmmmm. I think I'll put a deposit down and then sell the spot to you. How much are you good for?

Ok, so maybe I've been spending too much time on Ferrarichat where everything is for sale at a premium. I just want an early allocation. Is that so bad??

Watt,

The GT3 is going to be a keeper. Guaranteed!!

I haven't been this excited about a 911 since my 993TT.

Anyone else here from there rep/dealers recently? Just talked to a dealer where I have an order. His PCNA rep was at his dealership today and said a total of only only 68 GT3's where coming in this year. WTF!!! Needless to say a lot of allocations are going to be "delayed". Anyone else hear anything????

McKenna is getting one this year, arriving in December - and they are a big(ger) dealer. Claims there are 35+ on the list already.

My October Build no longer exists. The PCNA Rep just told my dealer yesterday. They MAY get a November build. This really sucks. I was anticipating getting at least 1 or 2 track events in this year with the car. Looks like car won't be here before Jan/Feb if I want to be realistic about it!
