Default Re: Lucky Buyers: 4.0 Spec Thread- What Is Yours?

Thanks for the warm welcome. There is a story to the allocation. In 2009 I bought the S5 and the GTS from this dealer when they where selling nothing. They proceeded to screw me royaly on service, culminating in the painting of the rear caliper on the GTS silver on a wheel repair. That night I got an email from the GM asking me how my service was. Let's just say at the end of it, they owed me one and I called it in.

If it wasn't for the shoulder, I would do euro delivery just for the experience and to have some fun and memories with the wife.

MM

It is awesome that the dealership/GM honored the request based on past issues; as we have seen in Mooty's case with his dealership, some just would not have cared, at least not to this level.

Congratulations again, please let us know how it is once you receive it.

November build, December delivery. Ugh. By the time I get to drive this thing we'll be reading about the 991 GT3. Decisions, decisions.....

That's a long wait and taking it during winter won't be fun, but at least you are getting one

Mine will be built around October 19 -- so delivery stateside around Thanksgiving. Too cold by then to enjoy it, but dreaming about Spring will be pleasant

I just returned from a boondoggle to the Porsche development center. At the conclusion, I got a 3-hot-lap ride around the Weissach test track from Romain Dumas in a white RS 4.0 with white wheels and PCCB. What a hoot! He did hand-brake turns and could have had the car posing for those famous Auto Motor und Sport 30-degree slip-angle wild photos they always manage. The car was absolutely toss-able and I can't wait to get mine out on the track!!!

All those NE winter deliveries should head to Fl in January and show TRACKCAR what he is missing. Sebring would be a good break in event.
