Maybe my dealership is wrong but I was given an estimated arrival of January and told it would be typical for an order like this to arrive in December. I take them at their word since they do this everyday.

When I originally ordered mine, I was going to get the PP and was quoted November also, however I ended up deciding I'd rather get the car 2 months earlier and forego the performance package since I'm not going to be tracking the car anyway. The only thing I really wanted/cared about was the wheels, but I like the new stock rims as well, so didn't bother me all that much.

If they ship early January you could have it in January yes. Dealers can also be a bit optimistic when telling customers things as well. Many cases of repeated "two more weeks" reported by guys waiting for cars on here.

Sure, but when I originally ordered my 17 the estimated arrival was late December. Before I changed the order to performance package it had already moved to November, so this isn't uncommon they are just seeing a pattern and calling it out. Could be right could be wrong.

just food for thought, but if even you want a regular car at this point you'll have to wait till december or january too. some places have ran out of them at the moment(for a manual) and dealers have been trading eachother for the ones that are left in the area. At least in my area within 100 miles, there's no Limited Manual. Decemeber and January seems like a correct estimate, there is a change you'll get in early if you're near a port in california, IE San Fran for example.

I'm just not sure I see the benefit to ordering a car right now with the PP. If the cars aren't going to be delivered/built until January, it sounds like the production hasn't gotten up to speed. I would bet that in January or February ordering a PP will take a couple weeks instead of months. When they start shipping crates of cars they shouldn't be too difficult to get. Plus I get to keep my $1k

Not sure if the PP will be a factory installed option anyway. My guess is that it will be port installed which will actually add time to the delivery. The RS1 was not delivered with the body kit and such on it they were added at port (someplace there is a picture of them all sitting in a yard without the kit waiting for shipping).

I imagine that since it has different wheels it will be factory installed. I can't imagine they would ship the cars with stock wheels or steelies then just throw them away or ship them back after the new ones are installed.
