Default Can You Still Spec Out A.........

2011 GT3. I have a friend who wants to order one is it to late? I made a call to my local dealer for him and was told they have 2 coming in and it's to late to change both of them. Whats the consensus in other states same thing? I'm in Los Angeles.What decides Porsche to stop building the GT3 model? Different models down the pipeline maybe? Need some Insight . Greg

I'm purchasing my Euro Delivery GTS at Downtown Porsche in LA.
Jonathan Arvatz is my sales person. He mentioned a December allocation for GT3 I believe.

Terrific I'll have my friend give them a call. Does a December allocation mean the car is already ordered? and what month will the car be built? Greg

I think the allocation is given in December and can be specified to his preference once available. I guess it would be delivered in Feb/March.
You might as well try Jonathan in Downtown LA since you're in San Francisco. He has been helpful
with my Euro Delivery.
Good luck and let me know how things work out.
FYI: they also have a RS that isn't selling b/c it has Sport Bucket Seats and he mentioned alot of folks don't like them. They might deal on it but can't say for sure.

Oops... you're in LA.. even better

Thanks for the dealer info. He spoke to Jonathan and he has 4 2011 GT3'S coming in that can not be changed. He looked into his crystal ball and found a few dealers with orders that still may be able to be changed.The build pattern looks similar to 2010 with the production of the 2011 GT3 ending in December.

Jonathan is no longer returning phone calls on this request I assume that it's to late to be changed at this point.

Can anyone confirm that December allocations may be the last of the GT3's? I have a buddy who wanted to order an RS next year.
