They had 600 leftover pistons? They could have built 100 more cars!

WTF?

Seems to be contradictory to what I am reading on this site.

I'll be happy to trade you my little 911 evo holder for your Piston.

I got my piston last week, and my car came in in late October. So I don't see how I was one of the first 15 (even though I called dibs with my dealer when I first hear rumor of the car and before they even admitted to knowing about it ). I suspect all 4.0 owners got one/are getting one.

Baron, missed your call last night.
great gift!!!
i dont have one ;-(
but if PAG PCNA marketing is reading, these should be sent to every original RS owners. otherwise, we start robbing and killing each other for spare pistons. this wont be good for PR. mooty kills baron in an attempt to swipe his piston ....

epic marketing 101 failure.

Got mine last week. The UK had them for some time now. Good to see the USA getting ours.

Continental Europe buyers got them after purchase contracts were signed, before the cars were delivered. My box is indeed color coded with the car.
Best, w

I got a letter from the postman early last week that they had a package from porsche waiting for delivery, but it was COD. $8. Really Porsche? Needless to say, I never got around to waiting to find my mail man to hand the the $8 for my package so who knows what was in it. Although I'm pretty certain it wasn't a piston

I'll take it Chuck, I can pm my address

Kidding aside, it would certainly be gauche of Porsche to not send one to each of you special people who bought this car. A nice thoughtful gesture could quickly become a big marketing faux-pas.
