PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[Porsche Dude]

Added some black badges, side & rear skirts, x pipe and added a few miles....

Thanks, I was wondering how the black GT and 5.0 would look on my green PP2, it looks great!

UPDATE 1/4/19: The new instrument cluster was installed...car won't start. Dealer said it was a bad instrument cluster so second on is on order.

It is Jan 17th and I just picked up my car and all is good. According to the dealership it took 3 clusters. I'm old...too old to write this about a car but it is good to have it back!

Those are the stock rims just in silver instead of dark grey

got my VIN# on Friday, PP2 ETA 1st week of March

Will swap tires at the dealership before driving out. Anybody interested in purchasing the 4x OEM MPS Cup 2, 305/30 R19, feel free to PM me --will also revisit the thread to see who said to be in the market.

my professional photos are not in yet but here is a little more auto-porn

What front bumper pockets are those? Love the build

Well I have my first issue. Christmas eve I went out and my instrument cluster is blank and some for buttons on the steering wheel do not work. Anyone hear of this before? I'll take it into the dealership in a few days. Really disappointing. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

Good god I love PP2 in Orange Fury.

Had my VIN since December, mine is scheduled to be built the week of 25 February.

Bump for attention

OK, I'll bite. My factory horn didn't work properly so I have picked up a Porsche 997 GT3 horn from my Porsche tuner and wow, is it ever better. I am just under 4,000 km on the odometer, about 2,400 miles and the engine is running better than ever. The first oil change will be next week. Next up are the installation of Steeda camber plates where I will run a negative 2.7 camber in the front, combined with a track alignment. Before the track season starts I will switch out to synthetics in the transmission and rear diff. Engine oil will be 5/40 and eventually switched over to 5/50 synthetic. I am so looking forward to Spring.

Do you have a sound clip of the 997 horn?

 

[Porsche Dude]

Not yet. Very reasonable price at $100 CAD plus the pig tails.

Mine's been quietly sitting in the garage now for over three weeks. I'm tired of the cold and snow. This is worse than the wait before I had it.

On a separate note, local dealer has had a PP2 sitting on the lot for over a month now. It just went up on their site. It was a special order and I think they may have forgot about it. It's sitting outside. I wonder how those SC2's are going to handle -10 degrees on Wednesday morning.

-10 degrees? Wow. No wonder they're not building mine until March.

Also, does anyone have any idea how many PP2 cars were made? I know that seems silly, but I think a lot of us would like to know.

Supposedly, the 2018 MY was limited to 1,500 units due to the late intro of the PP2 option. From what I hear, there is no such limit on the 2019 MY, & Ford will produce as many as they can sell.

-10 degrees? Wow. No wonder they're not building mine until March.

It's going to be colder than that in Flat Rock.
