Default 3.73 GP finally hit its goal

Just to let everyone who might be interested know, and if they tired of watching the growing GP thread on the 3.73 gears, the minimum 12 has been met! :jester

Also, LAPD, the supporting vendor who is sponsoring this deal, has indicated that if you want in on the deal, you need to act today b/c once he calls in the order, that's it for this group. So, I guess late callers will get the old: :nopity :nopity

Guys,

SteveL2 is correct. We will be placing our order with Getrag in a few hours, so please let us know if you want in on this deal.

At the end of today it will already be too late.

LET US KNOW NOW!

Thanks!

Shawn

I just got off the phone with Shawn at LAPD. I gave him my cc info for the 3.73 gear GP.

Shawn indicated that I was the 13 paid up set of 3.73. gears. Anyone else wanting in on this GP should let Shawn know as soon as possible as he is preparing to call in the order and overnight a check to Getrag.

This is going to make my car :cool: and a big time :smash: :smash:

Guys,

This GP is hereby now SEALED OFF!!

Getrag only has 13 3.73 gear sets in stock and we have 13 orders for them.

We cleaned them out and they won't have anymore for at least a week or two.

We will be glad to run a GP on the 3.73 gears anytime, we just need a minimum of 12 or more orders to make it a go.

Just let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Again, thank you for making this GP a success!

Shawn@LAPD

Congratulations to everyone who participated :cheers: I know a lot of work went into pulling this off. For me - it means 13 more sets of 3.42's to pick from for my upgrade. :) Good luck to everyone - I think gears are the most conservitive way to increase "SOTP get up and go" (that's a technical term I think). :rolleyes:

Is there anyone that ever got the 3.73's and didn't like them.
