GT3 2018 Allocations

[2010spy]

To avoid getting lost in the main thread, I thought it might be worth starting a thread for people who may be getting cars in the second allocation so that we can share information as it comes in. For what it's worth, I've paid deposit and got signed Order Form from Porsche owned OPC for 2018 car. My OPC expects to know their allocations in November.

Yes, I'm interested to see when people start getting the 'nod' regardless of deposit/order form. I'm going for Touring Pack, GT Silver, Satin Aluminium Wheels....

The topic is 2018 allocations and there are none atm ;-) it cannot get any more simple !

My understanding is that the OPCs know how many they are getting, just not when exactly. I'd be amazed if Porsche hadnt already planned all production for 2018.

Cannot be much of a change from the 991.1 the techs all the same which makes it easy to drive.

I am waiting for pec to get a Manual car before I book in my slot.

I know you love automation though so it will suit you.

You can't book an 'invite' PEC day unless you have an allocation.

Try phoning the PEC for a slot and see why they say. Will be interesting to see how consistent they are.

I'm still waiting to hear if my dealer will let me have one.

Bought a stunning 911 GTS (which I love dearly) as my DD and a Macan S for the missus earlier in the year. Still absolutely no sign of any yes or no's from my dealer. I sold my GT4 recently as was given positive signs, but now I'm regretting it.

To make matters worse someone emailed me earlier this week and offered me a car. I refuse to give a flipper my money. Makes me so angry that some people have still managed to do this.

Did you sell the GT4 to the OPC?

Nothing here either, but hanging in there

Why don't I send you a PM which leads people to believe that I know something that other people don't? That way, it will make me look big and clever?

My OPC, Porsche owned, confirmed today that they have not had their allocations yet for the GT3.

Not sure I follow? Was just commenting as others have, that I haven’t had anything confirmed regarding allocation. And yes I do have a signed order and deposit paid.

Sorry - this wasn't aimed at you. It was a comment on a previous poster. PS I have a deposit and signed order form as well

Richard, most of the PH community get rather frustrated when posters like David say things along the lines of ‘Ive got something to say about this thread, but I’m not going to say it publicly’.

Rather missing the point of a forum, I feel.

Mr D, please grow up, you’ve been a pain recently (imho).

2010Spy, I hope you get your car, have you changed dealers?

Breadvan, I'm with my original OPC for the GT3 (where I got the Spyder and GTS from).

If you do not have a deposit on a new GT3 what’s the chance of getting a car?

In my view, you probably need to have paid a deposit AND got a signed Order Form if you have any chance of getting one. However, 911R says that his OPC have not taken deposits but he sounds confident he will get one.

Guys- you have to be in it to win it! I am playing the 'game', its no different to gambling, not that i gamble much/often, the way i look at it is, yep i sold my PTS .1GT3, which i had to buy at 'overs' i may add, BUT i had made my mind up that i am going to commit to my local OPC and buy used & new Porsche cars, even the vanilla cars are great so my thoughts were its a win win really, and if i were to be granted a Allocation for 'any' of the Halo GT products its a bonus. There are always going to be more GT products so if i dont win this time, there always the next..

FYI- my OPC only got 4 for Jan Build, but Porsche are/will drip feed them just like the .1GT3, I never expected to get a Jan build, so there is still hope!

Thanks. Agree. Which is your OPC? Is it Porsche owned?

Just had a call,finally getting one ,jan build.

Congrats. Touring?

[2010spy]

It would really help if people said which OPCs? That way we would know who's started allocating and who hasn't.

[2010spy]

Thanks. I wonder if that's the case with others.

My OPC is apparently getting 2 for January build.

Which OPC?

[2010spy]

We are all outside looking in (Buddah 545 BCE).

[2010spy]

I just opened a chocolate bar and it had the Golden Ticket (well, it was actually a call from the OPC). Allocation confirmed for March 2018.

Congrats, nice news on a Saturday. Your tea will taste even better tonight.

Is this you first GT3?..

Thanks - very excited.

Yes, my first GT3. I've got the 991.2 GTS, which I love. I did have the 981 Spyder, but traded that in for the GT3.

That’s brilliant news - glad some of our crew are making progress - enjoy

Thanks. Very excited. Which OPC are you hoping to get one from?
