If you happen to stop by Santana Row Saturday morning let me know. I'd love to come by and drool over it!

So Adam gets his car 2 weeks after it came into the dealer. Then he finally gets it and has to try and put miles on it before a track event. I told him that I could have had it to him in 3 days (he would have had it before Christmas as his dealer was 20 mintues from the house), it would be broken in by a professional and be ready for the track. See all the hassle I could have saved you Adam....

So what's up with the car Mooty? Diagnosis done? Is it terminal (or as the local Porsche dealers call it a reason for another car)?

oil leak from cam cover so i was told.
but to get to it, i have to have roll bar removed. it's very tight in there.
dealer wont touch the roll bar (need to drop the rear suspension to get bar out, very tight as i said). so i am have it flatbedded from walnut creek dealer to milpitas tony.

i could drive it, but the SMALL amount of leak and smoke seem to freak the track marshall

I'm more of a spectator at those things than an exhibitor. And this week is all about racking up the break-in miles. I might be meeting some guys there to start a drive, but it's a bit random.

MSRP was $122-ish.
$127 on an RS is a bit in the middle. Just PCCBs?
What's the build date?

my understanding is that dealer can disable the PASM "control unit" and hence avoid error codes.
