You have no idea! lol.

When I first started doing this I was waiting for my car to be built and at the time I thought that there would only be 600 GT4's in North America. I can remember when I found the first 60 VIN's I thought "Wow, I have 10% of the entire production for NA!"

My goal at the time was to somehow locate about 50% based on help from Rennlisters (I did not know about the PCNA online database at the time) so I literally thought I only had about 200 more GT4's in total to enter.

Little did I know that it would be 150 a month for more than a year! Anyway it was still fun (most of the time) and i am pleased with how it came out. I am also happy to be able to give something back to the GT4 community, which I have learned so much from.

if you do send me your build it is best to just send me a list of the option codes, but if you don't have that I can still figure it out.

I wonder what makes my car (and the 66 others) special. Is it an ED thing? At any rate, I'll send you a scan of my sticker when I get home tonight.

That is an excellent question and I have no idea. There are actually 13 Rennlisters including you that have given me their VIN's going all the way back to March that have not appeared in the PCNA db yet. I know the total is closer to 67 though just based on historical average.

I have entered two GT4's so far with CXX options. The very last car produced had a CXX option. I also know of one car yet to be seen that will have CXX.

Hats off to you bud

Hey gmaki

Thanks for all your work on this. Does your 2,386 estimate still include 7% missing/aborted VINs?

FWIW, we are still seeing ROW VINs being loaded on boats in Germany to Australia and New Zealand as late as this week. Total units in the sequence = 3,606 but assuming 7% aborted/missing then this drops to about 3,353 but maybe still more coming.

That would make over 5,700 GT4 worldwide. wow.

FWIW, i pulled down your file and put it in excel to sort and filter easier... anyway i found the car i just picked up, late build, but the msrp is wrong so not sure what you're using for source. the msrp you have listed is = to full msrp - the CXX options on the car (there are quite a few)

not last car but one of the last

Hmm, I just rechecked all the CXX builds and my MSRP was way wrong on both. Not sure if I screwed up the data entry or if the MSRP was updated later. frankly I would not put it past myself to mess up the MSRP when I entered it orignally. Usually when i screw up, that is where.

Anyway I have updated both.

Also just realized that CXX is not an option that shows up on the public facing database. It is captured on my local version though. I should get around to adding that since it is an interesting data point.

And finally can I register you as the owner of that car?

Just was flipping through the database...so few cars with the deleted model designation, however when I was buying, Porsche Atlanta Perimeter had 3 with this option chosen.
