I'm surprised that none of the Rusnak dealers in Los Angeles have GT4s listed in their online porschedealer.com inventory.
Gmaki, did you get the white one that is listed at Porsche of Downtown LA? I just see the yellow one in your sheet at #99.

Mine isn't even in the database yet since I do not know the VIN! lol.

Wow I do not have that white one from DTLA. It must have been added after I scanned all the dealer sites. ugh, that means I have to go through them all over again.
Good news is that white one is now the highest VIN I have yet found! adding it now.

So I went through every US dealer again last night and ended up adding 9 new VIN's to the database. Couple interesting findings from the new cars.
Many of them are in the high 500's which seems to indicate the cars are being built (and delivered) in sequence. But it also shows if that is true we are very close to 600 cars ALREADY delivered to the US.
What I THINK that might mean is that the September and later cars (including my own) are the second allocation over and above the original 600. That also sort of aligns with the story many of us were told that our allocations were new ones awarded to certain dealers for hitting sales targets.
Of course this is all speculation, although at least it is speculation with a little evidence. If there is any validity I would expect my car to have a VIN over 600.
Also I ran across my fist Rhodium Silver Metallic GT4. Can't believe I had not noticed the absence of this color in the breakdown. So now, Rhodium Silver is officially the rarest color in the entire database. So whoever is buying that car in Atalanta, you seem to have hit on a rare color. For now anyway.

If it helps I can confirm that the ID 51 GT4 I mentioned yesterday is the promotional allocation awarded to Porsche of Wallingford for hitting sales targets.
I think you'll find the VINs for sales target awards to be out of order since those cars all jumped the line due to the LWB and paint code delays/stop orders. ID 51 arriving in late July was my original slot if it weren't for the delay to LWB and CWM pushing me back to October.

Well I just over specced mine, I really have no idea how this car is going to be but the idea of light, raw, 6MT with customization seems like fun for me! I walked away from a 488GTB allocation for this car and instead getting my wife/me a California T and adding the GT4 to the FF!

OK another intersting thing.
(I had no idea tracking VIN's coiuld be so interesting!)
Clearly Porsche endeavors to group the same paint color together on the assmbly line. Having looked at the data, there are several instances of two sequentially numbered cars getting the same paint color.
So while the builds are sequential, they clearly move the orders around based on paint color. This also informs me a bit on why PTS is such PITA for them. They can never (or very rarely) gain any efficiency for a PTS car.
