It is a pitty the yellow stitching wasn't available, this is actually the only thing missing. And I would have loved to have black dials instead of the white/silver ones (incl. Sport Chrono clock) but again...bad luck of early buyers.

P.S. I went 210 km/h on the Autobahn last week. What an exciting experience. I must move here....
You guys are funny. My old mom does that speed in her station wagon...

The PCCBs and the seatbelts along with the carbon makes the blk/blk combo look great. PZ Köln has a boring blk/blk Turbo with no interesting options.
Enjoy!!!!! Matt

Porsche sends out the car documents pretty late and not without a reason. If the swiss dealer already got the car documents and if he is willing to take the "risk" of breaching contract with PAG, so be it. I already know of two US dealers who did the same, probably without knowing about the consequences IF Porsche finds out. Trust me, I know what happened to one dealer, it was a pretty expensive experience for him, not to speak about the fact that he lost some advantages. No, it wasn't my dealer.
And besides the car documents/contract breaching issues, there is another issue: the (non-)availability of showcars.
Most dealers in Germany for example already sold their launch car since they usually got only one car til Sept., with the exception of the large dealerships which received two cars. So if interested customers are showing up at the dealers, no car to show to them. This is why my dealer asked me to leave the car with him on Saturday, so he can show it to interested customers who may come based on the huge newspaper advertisement my dealer (and other dealers in other german cities) ordered. There are "centralized" Turbo launch events throughout Germany Friday evening and the PZ Munich (Schleibinger Str.) for example has a Turbo on display for customers already starting Friday in the morning but thats it, you probably don't get to see any Turbo after June 26th til earliest end of August at ANY german dealership. Unless the manager/owner of the dealership decided to get himself a Turbo, which is doubtful.
And if you're referring to a "who gets his car first" competition: I'm not that hot getting the car as you might think. The reason is simple...just check the threads in the past.
Always one step ahead, Pierre...

RC,
You had a 997 w/ PSE right?
Have you given any thought to what you're gonna do w/ the turbo?
That's something I've been thinking about, my 997 sounds so good now, fraid I'm going to miss the PSE quite a bit.
