yup I understand, I was going to get me a daily driver truck and fiddle with it to kill time until I got the Z06.

C'mon...seriously? Astronomical?

I guess we'll see

I was origianly supposed to have a June delivery that has now been pushed to a 2015 with October delivery.
I would rather have the extra 4-5 months of driving with a 2014 and June delivery.

If not, if Porsche still can't get it right after all this, then forget LeMans this year and all 65 previous years of automotive and racing history; just close up shop and go home. Not worried though. The bean counters and suits may have fallen short in some ways regarding the handling of all this, but the engine will be fine.....
