    Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    1) There will be no 997tt on the floor at the NYC Auto Show. Two turbos will be available at a site close by to the Javits Convention Center to be seen by invitation only. The cars wil be open and available for inspection and PCNA reps will be there to answer questions. Your dealer has a limited number of invitations so ask him if you want to see the car.
    2) There is no hard launch date for the 997tt in the U.S. When the cars show up at the port, they will be delivered to the dealers for distribution to customers. I was told to expect my launch car during the third or fourth week of June.

    These are rumors but from a usually accurate source

    Re: Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    Am still waiting for my dealer's ability to spec Tip, SC and PCCB.....have any US dealers been able to spec these options on 997TT yet?

    If no "hard" launch date, will have my 997TT airshipped....why waste 4-6 wks of driving enjoyment?

    Airshipped a 430 to SF for some $10-15K; don't know what P charges.

    Have spec'd two 996TTS Coupes and each was built per sched, but mysteriously languished at port in Germany for 3-4 wks waiting for a boat (w/a subseq 4 wks+ from getting on boat to arriving at my dealer) ....so, I'd budget 8+ wks post-produc to rcv 997TT by the "free" slow boat....

    Re: Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    VKSF, out of curiosity when you had the ferrari air shiped, was it you personally who called and found your own company to do the air freight deal for yourself, or is this something that ferrari directly and or the dealer did for you? (of course you paid for it, but to who?)

    Re: Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    BD, i couldn't agree with you more, let me know if you do decide to do that...I'm waiting on a launch car that i specd, but mabey its not possible to do so with a launch TT..... but then again, what do I know

    I still have the unofficial info that all launch cars worldwide are equipped with a manual gearbox. And almost all cars delivered before the factory summer vacation are launch cars with a few exceptions.

    Does anybody in the US have a CONFIRMED Tiptronic, SC, PCCB order for a launch car (July delivery)? Just curious.

    Re: Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    RC, I have ordered a tiptronic car with my dealer and he is 100% sure that I will have a factory delivery in July, he has also got a confirmation from the factory... Hope he is saying the truth, I have been on the list for a year and a half!

    Re: Two (small) rumors heard today for U.S. customers

    A friend of mine has a launch TT with PCCB confimred for Jun/Jul delivery.

    On another note it would seem odd that PCNA would not have an offical launch date for one of the most sort after P-cars
