Actually, you'll probably see it 3 weeks sooner by not going PCD. I think most will tell you to go PCD for the experience. The drive home will be a little cold, but probably not quite freezing yet.

![]() ![]() I need to call my CA tomorrow and see when the car would come if I didn't take PCD. Me and my father have already booked a trip to Monterey, CA for Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV and if the dealership delivery coincides with that week, I think we'll opt to delay and let it sit at PCD rather than on the dealership lot. |

Okay, I haven't seen this question posted yet... My wife doesn't drive manual, but she'll be coming with me to the PCD. Would she be allowed to drive a DCT in another type of vehicle around the track, or would she not be allowed to drive at all?

The most likely solution here is for you to request a 135 with DCT for your PCD driving exercises instead of driving the 1M. I doubt they will let you take two cars out, (but Ive been wrong before)

What route are you using to get back to the AFB? You should stop by Charlotte for a photo opt and beer. Greenville's close enough, as well. I might be able to meet you along the way. Is your delivery date still 11/28? |

I took my 12-year old son with me for PCD. While the others were "switching" seats and sharing driver time, I was burning the tires off the 1M around the track. |

Yes, you get double time as others have mentioned. I did mine Friday. Not as involved as the M School but lots of fun. I think I enjoyed the off road course in the X3 as much as the road course. That was incredible to me as I had no idea that X3 would do what it did and I hate SUV's in general but that changed my mind not that I have ever had to drive in conditions like that but wow it was impressive.

My 1M just went into production (9/10 order date). I have a confirmed PCD date of 12/2. I am thinking that it could get to South Carolina by 11/2 so I wonder if they would allow me to pick it up early in Greenville and just drop out of the class? Any thoughts?

You'd be missing the point of a PCD, wouldn't you?

If you do PCD at what point do you settle up at the dealership and handle paperwork/financing/etc? I'm probably selling my one and only car to help finance this purchase so need to figure out the time line.

Usually around two weeks before delivery.

They recommend not to exceed 4500rpm. I can do that. They recommend varying the engine speed... How? I would think I'd be risking being pulled over by cops for driving erratically. ![]() |

I seriously doubt 2 highway drives would break it in unless you were driving across the country lol.
