Get the mto make you and Ben a set of clear side markers while you're there.
By the way, do they have a regular factory tour, ie one where you don't have to spend $450k to get to take a tour of the factory?

cool, so they're only up to appx 800 with about 3 months left in 05 production (or another 180 cars @ 3/day). that should put them right at their planned 1000 2nd year production #. however, they're not doing 06s for the US so i wonder if we'll end up with signifcantly fewer cars in the US than initially planned? PCNA #s show not even 150 have been sold here so far. also, the sales mgr at the dealership from where you purchased your CGT told me it was 4/day which made me cringe. i'm glad to hear it's only 3. they are rumored to be working double shifts. is that right?

double shifts is right. maybe they made the 3 up. who knows. i heard from here at this point Porsche will make fewer GT as planned. but again, who knows. don't trust them on the number anymore.

E,
they don't make 997s here. maybe i can hide in the train going back to Stuttgart...
