7th car announcement

[Speedy!]

They should have I think.

 

[BULL]

I'm back....



Went to my local dealer (2 allocations) where I'm on a VERY short list (1st or 2nd), subject to being bumped by a Demon owners (WHICH IS THE WAY THE DEALERSHIPS ARE INTERPRETING THE SCENARIO, THEIR WORDS, NOT MINE, BOTH DEALERS)

Spoke to another remote dealer with 5 allocations (@EricG), neither dealer is ready to do anything yet...

One interesting thing is that they are concerned with any ADM because they don't want to get sent to the "end of the line" and that could mean missing out all together. This is based on the UP TO 3000 units subject to production capability!!!

That being said, one of them MAY ask for ADM.

I have been texting back and forth with their sales manager too Won't pass on an allocation, whether or not I keep the car is a whole 'nother deal, but...

A dealer that I had a very short conversation with said that they were expecting people to bid up to $300K over msrp for one.

Great info @BULL I hope you and @DRAGRCR are able to secure one of these. I didn't expect the ADM end of the line scenario to have an impact but looks like it does so hopefully that helps. Wonder if there's any legality involved if they try to say it's not technically ADM but you're paying for a spot in line or something....sleezy but wouldn't surprise me if some dealers tried that.

Yeah, very true.

As much as I trust ANY dealership, I trust my local dealership, they refused to take a deposit check this morning saying that they didn't do business that way. I thanked them for the integrity.

Knew this car would be a shit show at the dealers

I wonder what kind of power it will put out running 93, E85 is not easy to get in many places.

I think they said 900/800 on regular gas

REAL E85 is another problem, E55-65 is the reality in a lot of places.

 

[Speedy!]

Once you're above about E60 it's pretty good fuel and with the flex sensor golden.

Lifted the front wheels pretty easy though! Looked fast in that amazing DA! Compared to what I live with anyway...

 

[Speedy!]

Yeah no doubt it was a good run for the conditions. I think after the run they just programmed the score board with the time which was smart from a marketing perspective.

The feed I was watching I thought a heard someone in crowd say "that is not good" (something to that effect) towards the end of the run. I thought something went wrong? I never saw the time live?

 

[BULL]

Giving large allowances for timing on both ends, it was 10secs on the video clock
