Damn that sucks!!! My car was slated for production 2/27 before this whole debacle came about.
I'm still interested in the car (they have a white one in the show room that I go to stare at from time to time) and can only imagine how great of a car it will be once they sort it out.
I'm still a Porsche fan and always will be. Other high performance marquis also had their share of difficulty and all have came through shinning (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Chevy). Porsche is no exception.

Yeah I heard that. By drive I meant test - should've been more clear.
I suspect it's no coincidence that you haven't seen a 458 Speciale review from CH.
Personally, I respect him more than I already did for calling Ferrari out but it does appear to have cost him some access.

GT3 update: dealers are pulling engines of US cars. A rep from Porsche Germany requires everyone to clear the room, and they inspect the car. I believe this is to prevent rumors. Damn good idea. But it's very wierd that Germans are flying all over the US pulling GT3 motors.

Thanks for the update..but prevent what kind of rumours? This type of engine cannot be repaired locally anyway - thats the difference to the previous GT3s - so if the engine is pulled out..it means it never coming back
..you´ll get a new box from stuttgart and the dealer will just install a new locally. The fact that someone from Germany comes over to see the car feeds rather other rumours (problems with RWS)..just saying..

IDK man. I'm just telling you what happened locally. No one knows if the Porsche Rep worked on the motor or anything. It was interesting that everyone was told to leave the room. Even the Tech that pulled the motor. Presently, there is no new motor coming.

Cole: Were you taking delivery of a 991 Cup at one point?
