I know a few people that had to pay way over sticker because the car was just off the truck and there wasn't that many of them to fill all the dealerships. Because they were brand new and not that many to go around they were way over sticker, I don't care how much money someone has they either paid the price or they didn't get the car. Maybe your buddies were buying cars no one else wanted.

Yeah, you'd have to be an idiot to have bought a 991 GT3 RS at MSRP... Lol, you don't have a clue dude. Everything you write is utter garbage.

I was referring to an over sticker purchase but that s OK as you seem to have it all figured out. Sorry, not offended.

Sam is probably a better driver than you. After the first lap when you go into limp mode he would slaughter you. If you were smart you would not challenge him just in case he accepts.

The 991 GT-3 RS were selling for upwards of $75K-100K over MSRP. Even on the used market.

If you were able to find one at MSRP, you could have bought it and sold it the next week, and gotten a free C7 Z06. Absurd, but reality.

Bumping this back to the top. So apparently GM can release the Zl1's Nurburg time yet still hides behind bogus legal excuses as to why they can't release the Z06's time. . .

Plus you would think they would take their latest and greatest, the Grand Sport, that they are heavily promoting as a track car, that has been in production since June 28, 2016, to the Ring with the ZL1 A10, which is not yet in production.

For some reason that sounds very familiar.

This car sits lower than the Z and has a lot of positive camber dialed in.

And... But.... They didnt. Never affected sales and when we see the likes of the C7 GS post times as fast as a GT3RS at VIR that car wont be affected either with no Ring time. Even the mighty ACR has no ring time. I wonder when GM look here at CF do they just lol at these angry Ring why oh why threads? Never ending broken record about a lap time from over 2 yrs ago.

No, they probably start thinking about baseball.
