The turbo GT allocations are available- have you pulled the trigger yet?

Here is a funny Cayenne vs Urus comparison... when automatic webpage generators go badly wrong, this was the complete "Brakes" section...
I am not sure it is correct as I have not heard anyone mention the spoiler reconfiguring for braking (does the spoiler on the cayenne deploy during braking, I thought it is just deployed at highway and above speed for aero), in anywise just sounds so wrong... hey, got a question about them thar air brakes.
The Cayenne Coupe Turbo has standard air brakes, which adjust the spoiler automatically during high-speed braking in order to shorten stopping distances. The Urus doesn’t offer air brakes.

Cayenne Turbo with world’s first adaptive roof spoiler and air brake
In the new Cayenne Turbo, Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) transitions into the SUV segment. The top-of-the-range model is the first vehicle in its class with a specific adaptive roof spoiler. As in the 911 Turbo, the spoiler adapts the aerodynamics and downforce to suit the driving conditions.
In its initial position, the spoiler is a seamless continuation of the roof contour and forms a shape that optimises the flow of air over the Cayenne. Above speeds of 160 km/h, the roof spoiler tilts by six degrees into the performance position, increasing the stabilising force on the rear axle up to maxi- mum speed. If the driver switches to Sport Plus mode, the spoiler changes to a 12.6-degree position that increases the road holding of the tyres for even sportier dynamics on fast bends. If the optional panoramic roof system is open, the spoiler adjusts to an angle of 19.9 degrees at speeds in excess of 160 km/h, helping to balance out air turbulence.
The fifth position – “Airbrake” is spectacular and highly effective. When the vehicle brakes rapidly at speeds between 170 km/h and 270 km/h, the spoiler panel extends to a 28.2-degree position. The spoiler functions as an air brake, which acts to increase the pressure on the rear axle and boost stability during braking. At full braking from a speed of 250 km/h, the airbrake position reduces the braking distance by up to two metres.

Congrats on your order. Am still waiting for my dealer to let me know when they will be receiving an allocation. I am also in the Northeast, am being told am the #1 on the list, but really nothing in sight. I have considered myself a great client of that specific dealership having acquired no fewer than 7 new Porsches over the last 20 years, but have never been offered a "loyalty customer" discount. MSRP is the rule...and when it is a GT3 or something like that, a "market price" which is a code for the usual premium. Any advice?

Like Duke Said. Send out emails to various dealers, also call in and ask. In my area (southern california) all of my local dealers wanted an ADM so I found a dealer on the east coast for my allocation at MSRP. Sure its not at a discount but at least its not at "market price" I'm doing PECLA delivery cost ~$550, which I think is well worth it and saves me the hassle shipping the vehicle.

Sorry man but you have been seriously exploited by this dealer but then I am not surprised because a lot of dealers in the NYC area are like that... which is why I have never ever entertained the idea of ever interacting with them when it comes to purchasing a vehicle from any of them. When I call them for service they tell me "Well we cant give you a loaner because you did not buy the car from us" and I am grinning ear to ear on the other end of the phone thinking "keep your ****ty macan for the loyal customers you rape on a fairly regular basis, I am good" lol!

I placed my order earlier for the Gt, and have an allocation for an early February delivery.
I changed by build multiple times, from a moderate dollar build, to a loaded dollar build, and back and forth. Multiple exteriors and interiors. Few safety features, to all.
here is my final build. My build locks November 3.
thoughts and opinions?

Nice build!
I would drop HUD, innodrive and wireless charger.
Porsche HUD isn’t anything special yet compared to other brands.
I don’t even use Tesla autopilot which is a much better system currently then innodrove, but acc is a must.

Placed an order a month ago with a Southern CA dealer for mid-November build, and delivery in late January. Vehicle status is V210 -- Change Freeze Point reached. Deal is MSRP + $6,000. Most local dealers had no allocations available, and those that did asked for $10K - $30K premium. One dealer offered MSRP but didn't have an allocation -- I am a repeat customer. So I count myself fortunate to snag this prime slot (Nov build).
A motivating factor was this GT has great spec's, reviews, and is the closest SUV to a sports car. I sold my 2020 Cayenne Turbo for the same amount that I paid as new (not counting taxes), due to crazy market conditions. I noticed that Arctic Grey is very popular -- here's my build: PNDKEU47.
