The only non Porsche car I have is Tesla Model X and I did not buy it from Manhattan Motorcars. You can keep poking, but there is no trick here. Try buying a bunch of porches for 10 years from the same dealer and having a good relationship with sales and tech people. Take the owner or the GM to lunch once in a while. That's all it takes.

Great stuff.

I also chuckled by the question by Rennlister on taking delivery at the dealership vs having the vehicle transported. I'm originally from Astoria Queens and grew up driving in the NYC area and although the GT2RS is King of Ring there is a chance it would not survive a lap around the old Brooklyn Queens Expressway LOL
yep, we have potholes size of vw beetle. I am thinking G550 4x4 squared is the best car for the city.

tstafford, lots of guys in Monticello have Radicals. They came last year and gave us test drives in different models. My neck was sore for days after and I have a pretty light racing helmet. It's like nothing else. I am still thinking about buying one. PM me about your experience with the car if you have a moment.

I think the frustration is for those finally able to get into modern GT cars and yet still aren't allowed to purchase one. You have a great strategy and I don't want to derail your thread at all. There is a lot to be learned here.

I can afford the car, but can't get one. Many in the same boat.

Good for you though, epic car.

Even better! I know lots were complaining how their cumulative purchases exceeded the cost of the 918, but the latter group got better allocations.

Wow. Congrats! You and whoopsy must have similar tastes I missed seeing your car by a day or so. The guys at MMC were still buzzing with excitement when I stopped by! They seemed like a nice bunch. Enjoy the car!!

Enjoy in good health wolfmobile. That combo will always make me think of the John Player Special F1 liveries I saw as a child. Classic.
