Mine was in paint last week. My dealer has learned the completion date is 13 July and he said to expect the car the second week in August. My 65th birthday is later in August... .. now there is a great present. This is worse than waiting for Christmas as a child.

f4 plt, How does your dealer know the completion date? Gee wiz, can he find out when mine will be done........ wew......... Getting tired of hearing "it will be done soon", after 3 months, and wanting to come home from here to my new baby. Ya, i would love to know how your guy is getting a date, some maybe i can ping my dealer to get on the ball so i can figure out some time frame when mine will be complete and expected arrival. Thanks allot. Brian

Trust me Matt, i have harrased them to death. It wasnt until i called them almost every day from out here did we find out about the new vin number after it is completely finished. I just hope it gets a vin this week and makes it on a boat in the next 2 weeks so it will be there when i come home in 4 weeks. Having them always tell me that it is being built with no insight is fusterating to say the least. If it gets a vin this week, there may be a chance it will make it there by the time i come home. I have exactly 4 weeks and i will be back, hopefully it will be there or at least at the port in Brunswick. I guess we will see. I am curious about the ship date. If it is finished this wek, how long is the next boat ride? All these questions and no idea, we will see!!! I still have faith in Charlie/Hall............

My dealer simply looked it up in their system..."Oh, it shows here a scheduled completion date of July 17"...How hard was that?

LOL. Hmmm, my dealer did mention there was another person could call at PCNA if she wasn't able to get the data?

930man:
I see that you are in Raleigh. Where? Our kids and their kids live in the Raleigh area. Our Daughter in Raleigh and our Son in Wake Forest. In fact my wife and I will be up there the end of the month to meet our new grandson (number 5 grandchild) Where is the Porsche dealer, Cary?. Hope to take delivery of my GT3 shortly after I get home and yes my dealer in San Antonio goes on line and tracks the progress of my car.

Hey, did you hear anything on the box and cables to connect our IPOD to the GT3? I read a little from a website, http://www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk/iP...ST_fiber_optic

I am wondering if anyone has this with their 997 GT3 w/PCM 2.1 ?
