Keep the faith! My 992 is being built on March 3rd, and originally Joey told me I would be lucky to snag a spot in late July/Early August... I stayed on top of him with a weekly check in email and he managed to get me into one of the cancelation spots for first couple days in June! Plenty of people back out, and plenty of their "Prior scheduled events" get canceled in Leipzig... and then its just a short drive over to Stuttgart in your new car.
What does your build look like?

Please post your route/google maps. Id like to see.
Thinking of canceling the Castle and Lake, maybe stick up around Nurburgring or find somewhere to make it closer to Stuttgart?? Maybe into France for the day or two?
EDIT: I think Lake Constance and the Castle are out. Too far south from Nurburgring. Perhaps Rothenburg ob der Tauber or somewhere around this region that keeps us closer to Stuttgart region. We will leave Nurburgring after a lap or two, so 630-730pm departing.
Has anyone done a short wine tour around the Rothenburg ob der Tauber/Nurburgring/Stuttgart regions?? This could be an idea.

I think you should consider visiting Heidelberg Palace and Rothenburg - both are a short drive NW & NE of Stuttgart, respectively. Each is < 90 min from Zuffenhausen and they're < 2 hours from each other.
Maybe you could spend a day & night in Strasbourg on the way up to the Nurburgring - really nice city.

My two cents for Neuschwanstein:
1) Go super early if you can. You beat the tourists (and tour busses taking up space).
2) Before you leave the area, branch out to one of the local roads nearby to get some really nice photos of your car and the castle. This one is taken at 47.566273, 10.745878

Looking pretty solid for a short trip now w/a nice mix of Black Forest, Nurburgring, Rothenburg, and a castle visit... Looks like time is tight on 4/22 but just FYI if you like castles and your plans change and/or extend, there's also Hohenzollern Castle which is only about 45 min from Lichtenstein Castle. I haven't been to either of those but I have both as potential visits on my last day before drop off at Sindelfingen (depends on if I have time - I might feel the need for another high speed autobahn run and/or a second 'alpine slide' before giving up the car the next morning!).
If time gets tight on 4/22 I will cancel the Castle visit.
Regarding the Autobahn, how do you know that there is no legal limit on a section, is there a specific sign? I looked up a map and the un-restricted autobahn are all over the country it appears.
Cheers

I have a hat and a T-shirt with the road sign on it... No, I do not wear them together haha, but its a cool sign that only people who care about cars get.

Nordschleife Master
Be aware that the same circle.with a number in it is the speed limit if the unlimited zone has ended due to construction or population. U have to pay attention and follow the rules like all the other german drivers.
