2011 Turbo S on vessel!!

hey guys - just got a message from my dealer that on 5/31 a vessel left the port with my Turbo S on board!

it's a jersey dealer about 30 minute drive from the port - does anyone know how long the vessel takes to get to NY/NJ area??

anticipation is killing me!

thanks!

Should be about 3 weeks. Less if she has direct sail to you.
If your dealer can give you the vessel name, you can track its position live on marinetraffic.com website.

Congrats to you and may she arrive safely.

My new Turbo S (GT Silver with natural leather) shipped on 5/31 also. Sounds like both of our cars are on the same boat. Mine has to make it to the dealer in Illinois, so you'll probably get yours first.

I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!

Lucky guys. Lots of pics and full report expected in a few weeks. Mine is still in the paint mans dreams. Ice Blue. Should have went another color and less carbon fiber. Really getting antsy but when it gets here I am sure I will forget wait.

You guys with 5/31 ship dates appear to be on the Wisteria Ace.

It is due into Baltimore on 6/16, into Brunswick on 6/18.

Take your meds...enjoy the wait!

Ship Schedule has been updated (click the Links tab)

yup, dealer just confirmed:
"The shipping schedule shows that your ship, Wisteria Ace, is scheduled to arrive on June 17<SUP>th</SUP>. I don’t think your car will get to us before the 20<SUP>th</SUP>. I would think if everything goes as fast as it can we will have the car between the 20th-22nd."

That means that my car should make it to the Chicago area about 2-3 days later. Can't wait.
BTW what color combination are you getting?

GT Silver with black interior and clear tail lights... i think i may have overdone it though with the GT silver though and am i bit worried. i painted the sides, rear and front lips, mirror attachments and even the front air intakes ALL gt silver - so really no black bits anywhere on the outside.

what do you think?

I think it will look great. GT Silver is great color.
Can't wait to see some pics and hear how she drives...
