Anyway, I went over to the dealership to speak to the manager and he wasn't able to print out the build sheet because it generated a "price update error" which I saw for my own eyes. I did also see that it's v200 w/the LWB, a freeze date of 1/26 (changed from the 16th) and a delivery date of April 15 (changed from the 29th). The manager will email me as soon as the build sheet is available.

Here's some eye candy. This "Sold" GT3 RS was there the last time I went over (12/24). I'm surprised it hasn't been picked up yet.



Better yet - why the heck is not this car indoors being blessed by the Pope. Shame on the Dealership storing this outside

On a side note, your build sheet is harder to track down than 2 droids on Tatooine. New plot twist! The sales manager is a Jedi Master!

Excuse me while I go grab some popcorn. This is getting good.

Good question! It was actually in that same spot last time, but disappeared after a few minutes. Btw, the manager supposedly said they sold this for the sticker price...

I just found this instagram and they had a Silver and Lava? Orange 918 Spyder a few months ago as well. It was also stored outside..jk

Especially given the potential for those tires to crack in the temperatures we're having right now....

Could be a Stop Sale on the RS's? Might want to let the guys on the 991 GT3/RS forum know.

There's no stop sale,it's the typical dealer tactics : everything rare is " sold " unless you're willing to outbid the " buyer ".

Haha I was thinking to say that yesterday as a joke. "My dealer told me there's a stop sale on the GT3 RS". Then I just need someone to say that they heard from their dealership that there is in fact a stop order

So...was this whole LWB stop order just a false alarm?

But, who is brave enough to take the risk of making a change at this point?

I never did believe there was a "stop order". I just felt my SA was unable to get me the LWB when everyone else putting in their order up to a month after me was able to get them.
As everyone else said, there's no stop order. I'm v200 with LWB- just waiting for the official build sheet.

So what's the delay with the build sheet? I stopped into my dealer to change my order (4/29 delivery) and my SA introduced me to the store manager who keyed in the changes, confirmed them while I was looking at the screen, then printed a copy of the build sheet v200 for me to take with.
